9 Benefits of BUYING NEW CONSTRUCTION

Hey, everybody, it’s Janine Sasso. So your trusted Chicagoland realtor. And in today’s episode, we will be covering the benefits of buying a new home. So let’s talk about some of the benefits that you can get. Here are my top nine. My favorite one about picking a new construction at home is the fact that the buyer gets to pick the own finishes that they want everything from flooring to light fixtures. You as a buyer are in charge and you can pick and choose what you like and what’s in style. The second biggest benefit is the fact that a new home is perfect for today’s modern lifestyle. You have the open layout you want, you have extra outlets and charging ports for all your electronics.

You have plenty of storage space. And today’s lifestyle for indoor outdoor living is definitely accommodated in many of the new build homes. Now the third benefit when it comes to buying a new home is energy efficiency. You have double paned windows. You have appliances and mechanics that are high in efficiency. And even the walls are built so much different, making it more insulated and making it better for your pocketbook when it comes to energy and savings. And did you know that some even come with solar panels? Of course, it’s considered an upgrade. But if this is something that you wanted to do, you could even go solar on your home.

My fourth benefit is low maintenance. Not only is everything brand new and you really don’t have to worry about maintenance for years to come. Oftentimes the building material that was used is just used for a more low maintenance lifestyle. You have composites as opposed to what that means maintenance. So it’s a low maintenance option. My fifth benefit is worry free warranties. Oftentimes you build new, your home comes with a structural warranty for ten or even 15 years. This is great reassurance when it comes to purchasing. Benefits. Six is all around safety. When things are built brand new, they are built brand new to the code that they were built for that year. Meaning you get a home that is up to the best standards currently available in the building industry. How cool is that? Benefit number seven is all about the financing. Oftentimes, builders have in-house lenders that can offer you a phenomenal deal when it comes to financing. Benefit number eight is all about the neighbors because everybody is moving in at fairly the same time.

Everybody needs to make new friends, get accustomed to a new, convenient community. The builder might even put events together to, you know, come on out and mingle with your neighbors. And oftentimes, communities attract very like minded people. Is it something that you’re looking for, a low maintenance townhome so you can commute to work easily? Is it in a great location with tons of opportunities for the children? Maybe there’s other families in the area. So as you can see, neighborhoods might attract very neighborly neighbors. At my benefit number nine, it’s just for the fact it’s new.

There is something so amazing happening in the human brain when it comes to something that is new. Might this be a new car, a new sweater, a new computer, or even a new house? New is amazing. New makes you feel good. Nobody is used to before you and you earned it and you can enjoy. So those were my nine benefits when it comes to buying new construction. I’m Janine Sasso.
