Advantages to New Construction

We recently came upon a brochure of sorts from Wells Fargo regarding new construction.  From this Winter 2014, Volume 11, Issue 1 of Wells Fargo - Home Mortgage pamphlet, here are some helpful points when deciding on housing options:

"On the house

Build a house, create a home

Is new construction right for you?

 

The prospect of being the first owner of a new home is exciting.  The allure of shiny new appliances, fresh paint, untouched carpets and bare walls that allow your tastes to shine through from day one can be very appealing.  Keep in mind that there are a number of decisions to be made and issues to consider when building or buying a new home.

 

Advantages to new construction

Newly constructed homes typically:

• Conform to today's building codes and have more safety features and fewer health hazards than older homes.
• Provide warranties in case certain problems develop over time...
• Reflect the latest in modern architectures and layout.  Great rooms, bigger closets and additional bathrooms often replace the formal dining and living rooms found in older homes.
• Provide a more energy efficient design with better windows, more efficient heating and cooling equipment, and a more extensive use of insulation.
• Are built with materials requiring less maintenance, such as vinyl windows...
• Have the ability to be customized more easily than a resale home...
• Include wiring for today's technologies such as multiple phone lines, high-speed internet connections and extra cable outlets.

 

Decide what kind of home you want

Once you've decided that buying a newly built home is right for you, it's time to determine which type of new home best suits your needs: a single family home in a development, a condominium or perhaps a home you design entirely yourself after purchasing a lot.

 

If you're like most home owners, many of the choices you'll make will ultimately be driven by your home purchase budget, how much you can purchase and your move-in schedule.  That said - time is money.  So it's a good idea to keep your budget and schedule in the same place, compare them often and plan as far in advance as possible."

 

 

The brochure also discusses getting pre-approved and goes further into banking options.
