The benefits of buying a new home over a used one

Buying a new home is a big decision. As the largest new homebuilder in Charlotte, North Carolina, we know that as well as anybody. One of the first decisions you should consider when selecting a home is whether to buy a new home or a used home. While the decision to buy a new or a used home is largely an issue of personal preference, there are a number of advantages to buying a new home over a used one. To help you understand some of these differences, we’ve put together a list of 5 reasons in favor of buying new.

 

Modern Amenities and Personalization

 

New homes are better designed for the needs of the modern family than older homes. Buying new also allows you to have some input into the design and materials used in the home. Our True Style Process allows you to customize certain aspects of your home before it’s built, allowing you to impart your own personal style and preferences. For example, new homebuyers are able to select from a range of options like paint colors, crown molding, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and more.

 

Energy Efficiency

 

New homes are built with energy efficiency in mind. Not only is an energy efficient home better for the environment, it can also save money on your utility bills. In fact, a True Home is more than 40 percent more efficient than the average existing home. Additionally, high performance toilets and faucets drastically reduce water consumption.  

  

Warranties

One of the biggest advantages to buying a new home over a used one is the warranty that comes with a new home. Not only do you get manufacturers’ warranties on all your new appliances, you also get a builder’s warranty that covers the structure of your home. True Homes offers a 10-year structural warranty that protects you against costly problems that may arise down the road with a used home. 

 

      Lifestyle 

New homes are often built in entirely new developments designed with a certain kind of buyer in mind. This means that the reasons you decided to move into the community are likely the same as your neighbors. New developments give you a unique chance to help create your own neighborhood lifestyle. New developments also tend to attract younger families, which means your children will have more playmates and your neighbors are more likely to become your close friends.

       Safety

New homes adhere to rigorous safety standards that may have not been in place when an older home was built. In addition to meeting the latest building codes, True Homes also partners with industry leading companies to ensure your home is built to last. State-of-the-art fire detection systems, wiring insulation, and plumbing components also help protect your investment and keep your family safe.
