Deciding to purchase a home comes with many other choices, including the decision to buy completely new construction.

While there are plenty of reasons brand new builds are so appealing to homeowners, some factors may incline buyers to go with a more established property.

So what’s the right choice for you?

New Construction Versus Established Properties

There is something attractive about a brand new, sparkling clean home that has never been lived in by anyone else. This factor alone draws many people to new builds.  

With new construction, there is no need for updating or renovating. New builds are complete with modern designs and finishes, and often the latest technology and coolest amenities.

New builds can also make great investments. They enable owners or landlords to avoid the regular maintenance and repairs that often come with older homes.

Some new builds enable the buyer to personalize the home, ensuring the details within are unique and custom. Additionally, many new homes are in up-and-coming areas with high rental demand and excellent returns, making them a great investment.

Sometimes a homebuyer may-opt out of buying a brand new home. This is often the case for buyers who are interested in more of a fixer-upper. Older homes can also make excellent investment properties, especially if the buyer can purchase it at a fair price and renovate to increase the home’s resale value.

As you compare new construction to established properties, it’s important to keep in mind that material costs are expensive. Building a new home with quality materials is not cheap, but neither is renovating an older place with new materials.

Both choices come at a cost, but it is ultimately up to the homeowner to decide which route makes the most sense for them.
