A: Why New Homes Are Better Than Existing Homes: [Source: InterNest.com] Pride inherent in being the first owner of a home that is an expression of your decisions on options, decorating and landscaping. You don't have to worry about replacing avocado carpeting and puce countertops as well as aging appliances and roofs. You select the colors of the paint, wallpaper, appliances, flooring, etc. A new home is configured to suit your needs and features numerous conveniences such as built-in appliances and walk in closets. They are also being wired to take full advantage of today's communication and entertainment technologies. New homes carry better warranties, and new home builders are subject to more stringent disclosure standards than existing home sellers. New homes are safer. They feature better wiring systems and meet today's stricter building codes. New homes are healthier because asbestos, lead, and other hazardous materials have been eliminated from home building products. New homes are more energy efficient. Due to better windows, more efficient heating and cooling equipment, better control of air infiltration, and greater use of insulation, new homes are twice as energy efficient as homes built prior to 1980. Existing homes require more maintenance and upkeep than new homes. New homes are less expensive to maintain. A new home can be operated for 20-30% less than a home built in the 60's. Buyers in new home communities make friends quickly. They share an all-in-the-same-boat feeling with their neighbors. Everybody is the new family on the block. Just as all their trees are growing at the same time, their kids are as well, leaving a trail of beginnings, growth and change throughout the community. Unlike established neighborhoods, where cliques and long-standing friendships may already exist, new homeowners share something unique. This can create a strong and long lasting bonds.
