Myth #1: New construction homes are always more expensive than resale homes
Not true! While some new construction homes may have a higher price tag due to their modern features and amenities, many affordable options are also available. Plus, with a new construction home, you won't have to worry about unexpected maintenance costs that can arise with an older home.
Myth #2: New construction homes are all the same
False! New construction homes come in various styles and designs, from classic to modern. You can change your home to your liking, from the exterior elevation to the interior finishes.
Myth #3: New construction homes make for cookie-cutter neighborhoods
So this may have been true in the past, but nowadays, builders work hard to make their planned communities varied with a wide range of homes. The elevation, exterior style, and home materials are all considered. In a planned community, builders will space out similar models, elevations, and colors to ensure similar homes aren't next to each other.
Myth #4: New construction homes are lower quality
Not true! New construction homes are built with the latest building codes and regulations, ensuring they are safe and structurally sound. Also, most new homes come with warranties and guarantees, so you don't have to worry about the quality of the construction.
Myth #5: New construction homes take forever to build
That is not always true! While building a new construction home can take longer than purchasing a resale home, it doesn't always take forever. The timeline for building a new home can vary depending on the builder, the size and complexity of the house, and other factors. You can build your dream home in a reasonable amount of time by planning and communicating with your builder often.
