Whether you’re a first-time buyer thirsting for knowledge or a resale homeowner eager to learn more about newly built homes, it’s best to start with an understanding of the differences between a new construction home (for our purposes, a new home) and a previously-owned or resale home.
You can define these properties based on how they differ in four key areas: Construction quality, cost of ownership, design preferences, and energy efficiency. Let’s take a closer look.
Quality of construction is the number one attribute for homebuyers when they’re ready to purchase a home. New homes today are built with state-of-the-art products, techniques, and materials that must meet the latest building codes enacted by states and localities.
Low Cost of Ownership is another important consideration. New homes are built in accordance with the latest building codes and regulations, often including new technologies and energy efficiencies, which result in lower utility bills and saving more money over time.
Designed for the Way We Live Today – Homes designed decades ago met the needs of buyers at that time, such as a formal living room and a separate formal dining room. It was also a time when homeowners would accept a single, shared bathroom on the upper level for three bedrooms.
Today’s homebuyers prefer an open floor plan, often without a formal living room. New homes are almost 1,000 sq. ft. bigger than the average pre-existing home, and even the smallest new home typically has a private owner’s bath along with a full bath shared by other bedrooms. Some new homes even offer a private bath for each bedroom. Also frequently included are multi-generational living spaces, spacious and open kitchens that satisfy inner Iron Chefs and customizable areas ready for transformation into libraries, studies or sunrooms.
