10 Amazing Benefits of Buying a New Construction Home

Are you unsure if a new construction home or previously lived in one is right for your family? While both possess pros and cons, we've rounded up the 10 most notable benefits of buying a new one to help with your decision making process.

When buying a house for your family, there are only two options out there. Either you can purchase a resale home, which means someone else has already dwelled in it, or you can purchase a newly constructed one. Here are 10 amazing benefits you can expect to see if you opt for the latter.

10 Amazing Benefits of Buying a New Construction Home

From being able to fully customize your dream home to the new home smell it comes with — yes, they really have one like a new car does — here are the 10 most amazing benefits you can expect when you purchase a newly constructed home for your family in SW Calgary.

1. Unparalleled customization

When buying a new home, the customization options available to you and your family are truly unparalleled. You can choose between numerous design features and finishes, allowing you to put your unique stamp on your family's dream home.

2. No renovations needed

Even the most move-in-ready resale homes usually come with some renovation work that needs to be done to get the home up to you and your family's standards. That's not the case when you buy a newly constructed one.

3. Brand new appliances

This benefit is dependant on the builder you choose for your new home in SW Calgary, but a bunch of them usually include new major appliances such as washers and dryers, ranges, fridges, and dishwashers. While resales generally come with some appliances too, there's no guarantee they'll be new or match your tastes.

4. No repairs anytime soon

New homes should remain repair-free for at least the first few years after you move into one. Should anything happen, the New Home Buyer Protection Act put in place by the Alberta government will most likely cover you under the warranties they have in place.

5. The new home smell

Much like brand new cars come with a pleasing smell, so too do newly constructed homes. It may seem weird, but it's true! In addition to the nice new smell you can expect to experience, you also won't run the risk of discovering any old or unpleasant ones which a resale home may have.

6. More environmentally friendly

If you care a lot about the environment, then a newly constructed home with all its eco-friendly construction materials and features will have you beaming. You may also have a lower monthly utility bill thanks to all the energy-efficient features new homes now come with.

FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO CONSIDER SO YOU GET THE PERFECT NEW BUILD HOME FOR YOUR FAMILY
 

7. Better resale price

Newly constructed homes that are only a few years old demand a much higher resale price compared to ones that have been lived in for more than 10 years. Unless the latter has undergone a full renovation recently, of course. That means if you need to sell your new home in SW Calgary shortly after moving into it, you should have no problem either recouping your costs or making a tidy profit off it. 

8. Well-established community

If you choose a new home in West Springs, then you're buying into a well-established community with tons of terrific amenities nearby. New build homes are typically built in areas where developments are either in place or underway, providing the convenience and standard of living you've grown accustomed to.

9. Or you can be a founding member of a new community

Sometimes new homes are built in an area where a community is just about to spring up. This allows you and your family to be the founding members of it, letting you put in place the ideals that matter most to you. Even those new homes in well-established neighbourhoods provide this benefit, albeit on a smaller scale. 

10. It's yours and no one else's

Owning something brand new brings with it that feeling which is almost indescribable. You know no one else has ever used it, and it's entirely yours. The peace of mind and satisfaction this can bring is tough to put a price on, and new homes are the ultimate example of this feeling.
