Why Building A New Home Is Better Than Buying

There is a never-ending debate about whether building a new home is better than purchasing one. Good home builders will tell you that you’re much better off building your dream home. Other people will tell you buying a home offers more value. The truth is there is value in purchasing a new home. However, there is an even greater value when you build your home. 
Keep reading this article to find out why building a new home is better for you in the long run.

​When Building Your  Home, You Get What You Want

The main advantage of building your own home is you get to build the house you want. Your dream house. Think about it for a minute. What kind of home do you want you and your family to live in? Do you think there is someone who has built a replica of your home in the area you want to live in? Your answer is definitely a ‘NO.’  
This reason alone is enough to convince you why building your own home is far better than buying one. You will have full control over your home’s design, layout, number of rooms, type of paint, etc. And once your house is completed, that’s it. Future home renovations won’t require you to remodel some rooms completely. All you’ll do is work on a few upgrades. So, building a home will save you a lot on future home renovation costs in the long run.

​

​Pay For The Home You Want

Any experienced home builder will tell you that building a new home is a big investment that can be emotionally and financially taxing. However, if you hire the right home builder, the final result is always worth the investment. You won’t regret it. And the best part is, if you get what you paid for, you won’t have to spend a tonne of money trying to remodel your home in the future. 
On the other hand, those who decide to buy their home don’t get the same privileges. If they’re not happy with their new home (which happens a lot), they’re forced to spend more money financing a home remodel. 

​

It’s Easier To Recoup Your Investment After Building Your Home

Let’s say you’ve built yourself a new home today. Then in five years, due to uncontrollable circumstances, you’re forced to move to another part of the country. In such situations, the best solution is usually to sell your home since you’ll no longer be using it. 
If the same were to happen to a person who bought their home. Whose home do you think would fetch a higher price? Your newer home will fetch a higher market price. And that’s because most buyers in today’s real estate market prefer buying newer homes. 
On top of that, since your home will include more advanced home appliances and energy-efficient plumbing and electrical fixtures, your property’s value will automatically increase.

​

​Newly Constructed Homes Come With Low Maintenance Costs

If you want your home to last for more than a few decades, you have to care for it. And the best way to take care of your home is to conduct regular home maintenance tasks. Most of these home repair tasks require the services of home repair specialists, whom you’ll have to pay.
One advantage of newer homes is they require few maintenance services. On top of that, a new home’s main systems come with a home builder’s warranty. Most homebuilder warranties last for about six years. So, if something does happen to your new home, you won’t have to pay for anything since your home builder is obligated to take care of the issue free of charge. 
However, homeowners who bought their homes have to pay for all the maintenance tasks out-of-pocket.  

​

​Today’s Newly Built Homes Are More Energy Efficient

Here’s the thing, in today’s real estate market, the majority of the houses on sale aren’t energy efficient. And unfortunately, most homebuyers don’t pay attention to energy efficiency when buying a new home. However, house construction trends are evolving. Newly constructed homes are increasingly adopting green architecture techniques and installing energy-efficient appliances and fixtures. 
And that’s because your home’s energy efficiency will impact how much power you’re using for heating and cooling. Therefore, a more energy-efficient home will spend less on its utility bills. And since a majority of the homes on sale aren’t energy-efficient, you can expect their owners to spend a lot of money on utility bills. In contrast, homeowners who will build energy-efficient homes will spend a lot less on utility bills. 
Don’t also forget that energy-efficient houses reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. So, build yourself an energy-efficient home. You’ll not only save on your utility bills. You will also protect the environment.

​

Low To No Competition When Acquiring Building Land

One of the main downsides of buying a house is its competitive market. The number of potential home buyers lining up to buy a house is higher than the number of people lining up to buy a piece of land. 
So, even if a homebuyer identifies a home they love, there is a high probability that another homebuyer will outbid their offer. And if a buyer ends up losing the house, they wanted to buy, finding another house that meets their requirements becomes even more difficult.  
On the other hand, since land purchases have low competition, your likelihood of purchasing the land you want is high. There are also cases where you’ll encounter no competition. And in case a competitor outbids your offer, you don’t have to worry about your future home not looking like you’ve visualized.
Hopefully, you now have a clear picture of why building your own home is better than buying one. Recent advancements in house construction and home technology have greatly improved the quality of houses being built today. So, don’t be left behind. You deserve to own a home that will meet all your requirements. If you want further information on home building, visit our website via https://www.konnectbuilding.com.au/ and connect with us.
