Advantages of TX New Homes over Resale Homes

         There is certainly nothing wrong with purchasing a resale home. Most home sales in TX are re-         sales  Many people prefer an “already lived in home”. Some reasons for this are:   

• Since the area is mature you get a chance to see exactly what your Home looks like, as well as the rest of the homes on the block or in the subdivision. It takes less imagination when you can see all
  of the lawns fully grown, the trees standing tall, the kids playing basketball and all of the other niceties of a neighborhood.
   
• When you enter a lived in Home, the furniture is in place, the carpeting is down, the appliances are working and the heat or air conditioning is comfortably humming a “welcome”.
   
• There is also sufficient choice. In almost any TX city or suburb there are homes that fit anyone’s taste and budget. Many times folks find hidden gems in “fixer uppers” that with a significant amount of sweat and ingenuity become a place they are proud to call home. The same applies to buying foreclosed homes. Unfortunately foreclosures are available in large numbers in many areas. One person’s misfortune becomes another’s opportunity. Sad though it may be, it is a fact of life and a fact of the real estate market.

When you buy new Homes, although the lawns need to be imagined and the lot looks bare, there are also great advantages for the buyer.

• If you are one of the first to purchase a home in a new TX subdivision, you can usually enjoy a significant savings. Builders need to sell the first group of homes in a development as quickly as possible. Just like nobody wants to eat in an empty restaurant because they assume that the food is less than terrific, many people hesitate to be the first buyers of homes in a subdivision. It is simply a matter of  lack of confidence.
             
• You also have much more choice when you buy a new home in TX. Although the various Home plans in the planned community are 95% set, there is usually plenty of option left for the buyer to tweak the Home to your taste, style and need.
   
• In the past few years new homes have, on average, more square feet of living space than resale homes in similar price categories.
   
• And, let’s face it, some people just like having something brand new. It has never belonged to any one else before. It is yours from the time the Home foundation is poured and the framing takes place. You and the bank, that is, for the next 30 years.

    Enjoy your New TX Home. You deserve it.
