There are many factors that come into play when deciding to buy your next home. One to consider is buying a pre-construction home instead of an already built home. In today’s market, there are several reasons why a pre-construction home could be a better choice for you and your family.
Everyone is searching for their “perfect home”, and with the limited inventory available, it can be difficult to find a home that checks all of your boxes. An advantage to a preconstruction home is that there are many different floor plans and options for customization to your new property. Whether you’re looking for a bungalow as a starter home or an executive sized two story property with rooms and amenities for a growing family, you will find options for customization options including the physical elements of the house such as the number of rooms and architectural design. Inside, you will have the option to choose between different aesthetic and infrastructure elements, such as quartz or granite countertops, style of windows and trim, and the heating/plumbing system to be installed. With a ready built home, changing these elements would require renovations that often cost tens of thousands of dollars.
While some homebuyers like the “character” of older homes, many others like the idea of being their home’s first owner and appreciate the “newness” of the property. From a practical stance, new built homes are generally more energy efficient than older homes because the quality of the windows and exterior is more modern and often superior. Financially, there are also savings in regards to lower closing costs as there are no property taxes to pay upon closing. In addition, in cases where an extended payment schedule is offered it can offset some of the high upfront costs associated with buying a home. Finally, since pre-construction homes are often sold as lots with others available in the same neighbourhood, there tend to be fewer bidding wars than resale homes have, which can result in further savings by being able to present a competitive offer without going over your budget.
