Ten Reasons To Buy New – Fieldgate Homes
Homebuyers face many tough decisions as they embark on their home search. Right at the top of that list is whether to buy a new home or purchase a resale home. While resale certainly has its advantages, whether it’s living in an established neighbourhood or upgrades that are already included, buying a new home has a long list of benefits. Here are 10 great reasons to buy new:
1. New Home Pricing
If and when you choose to sell, a new home is likely to have greater appeal on the resale market, particularly if it’s located in a desirable neighbourhood. While it’s true that the initial price of a new home may be more expensive than a resale home, the new home will require fewer (if any) repairs or replacements once you move in, so the slightly higher cost is outweighed by potential post-closing repairs you may require in a resale home.
2. Your Neighbourhood Is Well Planned
It’s no secret that location is a key factor in a homebuyer’s search. But Fieldgate Homes knows that beyond that it’s important to create well-planned, desirable communities within coveted neighbourhoods. Fieldgate ensures quality amenities are available nearby, along with top-ranked schools and first-rate dining, shopping and recreation options.
3. Up-To-Date Design
When buying a new home from Fieldgate Homes, you can be assured that the quality of materials and home designs are on the cutting edge. Fieldgate tracks consumer trends, so they can quickly respond with floorplans that cater to up-to-date consumer needs and desires, with features you might not see in an older resale home, like larger state-of-the-art kitchens, great rooms, media niches and larger closets or walk-in closets.
4. Warranties
When buying a resale home, it’s largely a “buyer beware” scenario, since there is no warranty to back your purchase. When buying a Fieldgate home, you’ll receive Fieldgate Homes’ limited warranty backed by the Tarion Warranty Corporation. You are assured that you will get exactly what you paid for and that Fieldgate Homes stands behind their product. Usually, a warranty will cover overall construction, along with carpets, mechanical equipment and new appliances for the specified period of time.
5. Energy Efficiency
In a new home, you will find many features that save energy and energy costs. Better insulation, low-flow shower heads, low-consumption toilets, improved window technology and more efficient heating and cooling systems all contribute to a new home’s energy efficiency. There are many additional energy savings options available through the Fieldgate Homes Décor Centre.
6. Wired for State-of-the-Art Technology
Even a relatively young, 10-year-old home will not be wired for today’s technology. These days, high technology has become a necessity in many homes, from computers to surround sound to home theatres and beyond. A new home will be wired for this state-of-the-art technology.
7. Healthy Living
Modern builders know the dangers many materials and chemicals may inflict upon homeowners and the environment alike. With that in mind, new homes will be free of asbestos and builders will use lead-free paint, while plywood and particle board will be virtually free of formaldehyde emissions.
8. Low Maintenance
While a resale home might require roofing, painting or any number of expensive procedures, a new home will require almost no maintenance for many years, thanks to the use of new materials and improved technology.
9. Help Through the Process
Purchasing a new home can be a stressful process, but Fieldgate Homes’ team of trustworthy, knowledgeable professionals is there to guide all their Purchasers.
