New Vs. Used

Why Buy New? (Instead of a Used House)

1.	A Floor Plan You Desire You get to select the exact floor plan and layout you want based on the way you and your family need and want to live.	Or Settle For... An outdated floor plan and layout that was based in the way someone else wanted to live.
2.	An Exterior You Love You get the trendiest and most durable stone, brick and wood siding on the exterior of your home.	Or Settle For... An outdated and weathered exterior when you really wanted something fresh.
3.	Your Choice You have the opportunity to pick all of your selections, from the cabinets to the carpet, everything is new and chosen by you!	Or Settle For... Interior items that are fair, but you'll have to live with the pink carpeting and old model kitchen until you can afford to redecorate according to your tastes.
4.	More Space For You Your home can contain all the latest architectural benefits, like 9 ft or cathedral ceilings, expansive closets and modern kitchen and baths.	Or Settle For... A good house from the outside, but it doesn't have nearly enough closets, the ceilings are low and the bathrooms and kitchens are very outdated.
5.	Little Maintenance Your new home construction contains all new products with the latest technology that are meant to last a long time.	Or Settle For... An older house where things tend to go wrong periodically, and where there’s always something to fix or replace.
6.	Energy Efficient Your new home is built with new efficient appliances, walls, ceiling and floors with more insulation, dual pane windows and new efficient heating and cooling systems, all of which saves you MONEY.	Or Settle For... A house built with 2x4 construction with less insulation in the walls and ceiling, single pane drafty windows and a less efficient heating and cooling systems that heat and cool some rooms better than others.
7.	Modern Conveniences Many modern items with new technology are included such as built-in dishwashers, refrigerators, microwaves, hardwired fire & carbon monoxide detector, security, speaker, media and computer networking wiring.	Or Settle For... An older house with items with older and possibly inconvenient technology.
8.	Built to Code Code regulations change all the time and your new home incorporates the newest in building code, building technology and consumer safety issues.	Or Settle For... A house with nonconforming building code and consumer safety issues. Worst case you may have to change certain items in order to get a Certificate of Occupancy.
9.	New Home Warranty Your new home comes with a 10-Year New Home Warranty.	Or Settle For... If you are lucky, the previous owner thought to keep some manuals on the appliances in the house, but other than that, warranties have long since expired.
10.	Emotional Factor of Newness There is nothing like owning something that’s brand new, built to your specific taste, that has never been used time and again by somebody else. Plus, after all those years of hard work, You Deserve New!	Or Settle For... A used house built for someone else’s taste that has been used and lived in by one or more other people.
