REVIEW
PROS
It’s NEW! Everything is brand new and gorgeous. All your important systems are new too (HVAC, Plumbing, Electric, Roof, etc..) so there shouldn’t be a ton of maintenance.
Warranties- all of the appliances in your home should be covered by warranties for several years.
Most New Construction homes can be customized to some degree, so you can pick out some of the features and finishes you want.
Newer homes are usually more energy efficient, which is great for the environment AND your wallet!
CONS
New neighborhoods typically have smaller home lots than established neighborhoods. Do you need a big yard?
If your neighborhood is still being built as you move in, be prepared for construction noise and debris (nails, etc.)
Your landscaping will be brand new, and may require a little patience and TLC.
Builder purchase contracts can be strict and one-sided (e.i deposit requirements).
Weather may delay the construction of your new home, pushing back your move in date.
It takes time to build new construction and waiting period.
