Is It Better to Buy a New House?

The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky real estate market has taken buyers on a wild ride the last few years. Are you asking yourself if you should buy a new house? Here are a few things to consider: 

There is currently a limited inventory of existing homes, which could make it hard to find exactly what you want in a new home.  You might be looking for a more open floor plan, a master bedroom on the first floor or an outdoor living space but can’t find an existing house that has those amenities. You also may not like the idea of buying a previously lived in home. In these situations, the better option is to buy a new house. 

Will a new house cost more money?

Buying a new house is a great value for many reasons. New homes are typically more energy efficient, so they save resources and your money month after month on utility bills.  With a new home there is also no need for expensive renovations that you might have to do on an existing home. You won’t have to worry about what conditions might be hiding under carpets or in walls. Appliances and systems like HVAC will be brand new and all under warranty. You won’t be concerned with buying a house with an old furnace or air conditioning system. Mold contamination and lead poisoning won’t be an issue with a new home, either.
