5 Benefits of Buying a New Construction Home

If you are in the market to buy a home, you should seriously consider purchasing a new construction home. While many people assume new homes cost more than resales, this is not the case. In fact, new homes in Malvern, PA offer many benefits over resale homes, including energy efficiency, low maintenance, and of course, personalization. Read on to discover some of the major benefits of purchasing a new construction home.

1. Energy Efficiency. New homes are way more energy efficient than homes built 10 and even five years ago. New homebuilders utilize energy efficient construction and design, allowing you to save energy during both the heating and cooling season and experience substantial costs savings. Even better, an ENERGY STAR certified new home provides energy efficiency savings of up to 30% in comparison to typical new homes.

2. Low Maintenance. A key perk of buying a new construction home is it is brand spanking new — no one has lived in it before you. So, everything about the home, from the appliances to the flooring to the roof, is brand new and has never been used. With everything being new, it’s very unlikely that something will breakdown and need repairs during the early years of living in the home. And, if for some reason something needs repairing, it will most likely be covered by the home warranty.

3. Personalization. With a new, untouched home you have the ability to personalize it however you like. If the home is still under construction, you can customize the flooring, cabinets, countertops and light fixtures to suit your taste. Your home will be like a blank slate that you can design to reflect your own style, not someone else’s.

4. Safety. Many older homes have been built with hazardous substances, such as asbestos or lead-based paint, and may have plumbing or electrical wiring that is not up to code. New construction homes, on the other hand, meet the current building standards and codes and are constructed with important safety features, such as built-in fire alarms and insulation and carpeting with fire retardant materials.

5. Community Amenities. Some new construction homes are built in beautiful master-planned communities with resort-style swimming pools, fitness centers and clubhouses. These communities also have paved walking and biking trails, picnic areas and basketball courts and are located within a great school district.
