What are the issues to consider when building a new home versus buying an existing home?
When building a new home, you have a great deal of control over what the home will be like. You can work with the designer to create the layout and features of the home and select materials and decor. In addition, you can take advantage of newer technology and create a more energy efficient home. Everything is new and repairs and maintenance will less likely be needed. There is “pride of ownership” with a house that you helped to create and it is more likely to be a much better fit for your lifestyle and interests.
