Why Buying a New Home is a Better Idea

Posted by Bella Vista Estates on January 20th, 2020

There are a lot of reasons to move into a new home in Riverside. It is diverse, exciting, occasionally controversial, never boring, safe and fun! Buying new, though, has its own advantages; here are a few.

Modern Floor Plans

Your new home in Riverside will come with all the amenities you can imagine. They also reflect modern tastes in regards to space, livability, flow and access. A new home does not have old trends to contend with like narrow hallways, a chopped up interior, navigational challenges, aging and out of date systems (sewer, electrical, HVAC, etc.)

It’s Ready on Day One

With an existing home, it takes a while to figure out all its quirks. Sometimes, the more you figure out the more projects you have to tackle. A new home is ready for living on day one. You have to move your stuff in and get it settled, but you can reside in your new home starting the moment you receive the keys.

Energy Efficient

Older homes are drafty, energy inefficient and often prone to extremes in temperature. Even homes that have new systems installed often have quirks and bugs that can render the new system as inefficient as the old one. New homes have new electrical systems, appliances, equipment and climate management systems. You will see immediate savings in most cases over an existing home’s energy costs and because everything is new, the wear and tear on machinery, systems and equipment is much less of a worry.

Price Options

With a new home, you can choose what you want to match your budget. This includes matching floor plans and amenities so you do not have to pay for anything you do not want. An existing home comes as is. If there is a layout, system or room(s) you do not want or need in an existing home, your option is to renovate or remodel or look at another property.

Everything is New

From appliances to equipment like furnaces, walls to the flooring and everything in between, new homes are special because everything is shiny and, well, new. You do not have to deal with a faded carpet or scuffed floors, appliances on their last legs or a heating and cooling system that sounds like it has emphysema. Top to bottom, left to right, up to down, your new home is exactly that.

Lower Maintenance

You still have to rake leaves and clean gutters, but the maintenance on a new home is much less than on an existing dwelling simply because everything is so new.

There are many good reasons to choose to move to Riverside and to purchase an existing home. There is more to purchasing a new home in Riverside as this list shows.
