Purchasing a new construction home comes with many benefits. A major benefit is all the new appliances, materials and features that require less maintenance. We’ve created a list of the top reasons a new house is a low-maintenance house.
No Budgeting for Repairs
Home repairs and maintenance can be very costly. With a new home you most likely won’t have to start budgeting for repairs for a while. Your gutters, appliances, roof and more are in top condition and if you do end up needing a repair sooner than expected, it’s likely it will be covered by a builder’s warranty. When you purchase an existing home, it might come with a long list of to-do’s in terms of repairs and maintenance.
Clear Home History
When looking to buy an older home, it’s going to be much more difficult to find out about the history of the home and how well it was built. You’ll need to find out what kind of renovation has been done, if any, how well the house was built, and how well it has been maintained. When purchasing a new construction home, you know exactly what materials are used, who the builder is, and you don’t have to worry about unforeseen problems like unmaintained renovations and repairs.
You might even be able to take photos during the construction process: It’s something many new home buyers enjoy and it makes for memories you’ll cherish over the years.
Transparent Maintenance Expectations
When building a new home you are able to speak with the builder about the primary maintenance needs of the home. The builder’s representative will be happy to explain what tasks will need to be performed monthly or annually as well as how to do them. The new appliances will also come with warranties. You’ll be able to more accurately plan for maintenance than when buying a pre-existing home. Imagine no searching for maintenance records on existing appliances or systems like heating and air-conditioning.
