Why Buy A New Home?

By Hudson Winthrop


Many today are engaged in a search for their new home. Some may be drawn to well-seasoned neighborhoods with decades-old homes, while others prefer to venture to younger housing developments or newly built houses. At this time there is no shortage of suitable homes just waiting for a sensible investor to swoop in and make the purchase. One avenue available, is buying a foreclosed home which can be bought at an amazingly reasonable price at an auction. Another option, is purchasing a small group of houses that the owner can profit from by renting to a number of tenants. And don't forget, at this time there are tax incentives in existence for those who choose to buy a house.

You may be wondering, why invest in a new home when the prices are dramatically dropping? One thing to keep in mind is that in a young house, minimal work is needed. Wiring, piping, heaters, and air conditioning units will have little to no wear. Also, buyer's markets don't last eternally. Eventually, there will be a rise in families looking to buy, and they will be looking for modern homes. Securing a new house now ensures that the owner will have the advantage when the tables turn.

Families moving in with children are often wanting a neighborhood with a community connection, and a homey feel. New housing developments are now including features in the community such as recreational areas for children, biking or walking paths, and even possibly an exclusive community pool. With updated security measures in place, many families find peace in knowing that their own community can have a gated, secure entrance.

Much has changed in the past decades with regards to technology and home entertainment. Homes that were constructed decades ago weren't built or wired to accommodate the likes of 72" flat screen televisions, surround sound systems, and charging ports for the numerous electronics. The ideal All-American home has changed, which is why today, houses are being assembled in a way that each member of the modern family can be satisfied. Mother can have her dream kitchen with the double oven and island, Father can have his full-size theater, and the children can have a sound-proof music room.

After taking serious consideration of these mentioned benefits, the wise decision can become obvious. You do not have to waste your time in investing in a home that will need much fixing; get a new home that has very little, if any, work required while the market can still be a benefit to a new home buyer.
