Modern Features

A new construction home will have been thoughtfully designed for the contemporary buyers. New constructions homes typically have open layouts or open floor plans, contemporary finishes and styles that suit many current buyers. With new construction, you get a contemporary home, without the worry that when and who remodeled the home previously brought everything up to code, installed everything correctly, and there were no corners cut in the process.

Built to Current Standards

New construction homes are also being built to current standards. In Florida, this can be a weight off any buyer. They do not need to be as concerned about the home not passing an inspection or not being able to be insured until repairs are made. This can speed up the buying process and provide peace of mind for many buyers.

Low Maintenance

New construction homes are designed to be low maintenance, which leads to reduced upkeep costs.  Everything in a new construction home is brand new, so there is little risk of unexpended repairs or replacements after the home is purchased.

Warranty

Builder warranties are a benefit of purchasing a new construction home. These typically cover different aspects of the home for various timeframes. Examples would be structural coverage, systems coverage (plumbing, electrical, and HVAC) and appliance warranties. These all ensure that the buyer will not face out-of-pocket expenses for issues caused by construction defects or system failures during a period. This allows buyers to settle into their home without worries.

Builder Incentives

Builder incentives are benefits offered by builders to attract buyers and make new construction homes more affordable and appealing. Incentives could include money that can be used for appliances, blinds or fencing.  Other incentives can be used to buy down your interest rate, used toward closing costs or down payment. Each builder offers different incentive packages based on the properties that are under construction. Incentives on new construction homes help buyers get more for their money and minimize upfront costs of home ownership.

Community Amenities

Community amenities can also be a perk of purchasing a new construction home. These offer residents access to features like pools, playgrounds or walking and biking paths. There may also be open areas for landscaping and picnic spots. Other communities offer gated entrances. All help to provide a sense of community within a new neighborhood.

Move-in Ready

New construction homes are truly move-in ready. Buyers will not have the hassle of updates or repairs. They will get to walk through the property and make notes of anything that needs to be accounted for prior to the purchase, like a scuff mark in the paint, or a drawer handle that needs to be tightened, etc. A new construction home, unlike other homes, will not require deep cleaning, repairs or remodeling.  This allows buyers to simply unpack and settle into their new home.
