BUILD VS. BUY

THE ADVANTAGES OF BUILDING A NEW HOME OVER BUYING AN EXISTING HOME

Better Construction

The technology of home building has improved tremendously over the past few decades and new homes are built better than ever. They are solidly constructed and well designed for today’s lifestyles. New homes are highly energy efficient, with excellent indoor air quality.

From new flooring products to roofing shingles and windows, today’s building products work better, last longer and are often more visually appealing. The result is a brand new home that is far more comfortable, healthier, easier to maintain and more enjoyable to live in.

Warranty

Existing homes do not come with a comprehensive warranty. If something goes wrong, you have to deal with it there and then, no matter what it costs. Buying a new home, on the other hand, offers peace of mind. Anderson Homes stands behind their work and reputation with two warranty options.

No Surprises

With a new home, there are no surprises when you move in. You know how the house was built and what went into it—what you can see and what is hidden behind the walls. You also know exactly how to operate and maintain your home’s systems and equipment. If you have questions later, Anderson Homes will be there to give you helpful, accurate answers and peace of mind.

Safety

Old homes can have hazards such as asbestos, lead-based paint, leaking gas lines or faulty wiring. They may predate building codes that have improved and changed over the years. New Homes have been tested to meet the strictest of safety standards.

Lead Time

Building a new home gives buyers lead-time to sell their home and to do some planning. If you sell your house first, you might be under pressure to accept something less than you want. Buyers can lock in their new home at today’s pricing, securing a mortgage with a capped interest rate.
