\"Where<\/p>\n

There are plenty of good reasons you might be ready to move. No matter your motivations<\/a>, before you list your current house, you need to consider where you\u2019ll go next.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s market<\/a>, it makes sense to explore all your options. That includes both homes that have been lived in before as well as newly built ones. To help you decide which is right for you, let\u2019s compare the benefits of each. Regardless of which option you choose to explore, working with a trusted real estate professional throughout the process is essential.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Newly Built Homes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

First, let\u2019s look at the benefits of purchasing a newly constructed home. With a brand-new house, you\u2019ll be able to:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1. Build your dream home<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If you build a home from the ground up, you\u2019ll have the option to select the custom features you want, including appliances, finishes, landscaping, layout, and more. Bankrate<\/em> puts it like this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding means customizing. . . . instead of wishing your home had a certain kind of flooring, a sunroom or some other special amenity, you\u2019ll be able to tailor the property to your exact needs. You also won\u2019t be limited to a specific location or neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Take advantage of builder concessions<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In today\u2019s market, a lot of home builders are working hard to sell their current inventory before they add more to their mix. That means many of them are offering concessions<\/a> and are more willing to negotiate with buyers. That could work to your advantage in the process.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. Minimize home repairs<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Many builders offer a warranty, so you\u2019ll have peace of mind on unlikely repairs. Plus, you won\u2019t have as many little improvement projects to tackle. As realtor.com <\/em>says<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201c. . . if something goes wrong with your new home, not only are there likely some manufacturer warranties in place, but many builders also include additional home warranties . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4. <\/strong>Take advantage of energy efficiency<\/strong><\/h5>\n

When building a home, you can choose brand-new, energy-efficient options to help lower your utility costs, protect the environment, and reduce your carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Existing Homes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Now, let\u2019s compare those to the perks that come with buying an existing home. With a pre-existing home, you can:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1. Explore a wider variety of home styles and floorplans<\/strong><\/h5>\n

With decades of homes to choose from, you\u2019ll have a broader range of floorplans and designs available.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. Appreciate that lived-in charm<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The character of older homes is hard to reproduce. If you value timeless craftsmanship or design elements, you may prefer an existing home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Join an established neighborhood<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Existing homes give you the option to get to know the neighborhood, community, or traffic patterns before you commit. Plus, they have more developed landscaping and trees, which can give you additional privacy and curb appeal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4. Move in faster<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If you have a short timeframe to move or you just don\u2019t want the process to take several months while your home is under construction, buying an existing home might make sense for you. U.S. News <\/em>explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re choosing a home, existing or new, you should also consider how long it might take to move into that home. Just because you have a contract doesn\u2019t mean that your new home will be completed (or even started) at the time you agree to the purchase. It can be a struggle waiting for the walls to go up as you wonder what your home will become.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When thinking about where you\u2019ll go after you sell your house<\/a>, remember your options. As you start your search, think about what\u2019s most important to you. By working with a trusted real estate agent<\/a>, you can be confident you\u2019re making the most educated, informed decision.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/h3>\n

\nIf you have questions about the options in our area, let\u2019s discuss what’s available and what’s right for you, so you\u2019re ready to make your next move with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
