Buying an Already Constructed Home VS Creating Your Own
Many of us have asked ourselves that undeniable question,” What’s better, Buying or building a home?” Especially when it’s time for us to make a big move and purchase our very own homes, we begin to think this through. We begin to balance out all of the pros and cons of buying and building and we rationalize over what works best for us. If this question is currently on your mind, good! Today we’ll help you figure out which is more beneficial and why.
Personalization
Let’s be honest, you can only create your dream home when building. You get to map out every area in the house and you get to choose what goes where, while when simply buying a home you settle for the design and structure that someone else envisioned. The only real way to get what you want is to build the property from scratch.
Health
An older property opens the doors to asbestos issues, mold, and even lead paint. Building a brand new home is far less likely to have toxic threats which ultimately are a way of protecting you and the environment.
Value
To be truthful, building a home from zero is a bit more costly but in the long run, this can be resold for a greater value. There are far more significant profits in reselling the home you built vs the one you bought. New homes are equal too less maintenance and repairs.
Connection
Nothing can compare to the feeling or connection that you make with the property, knowing that you created that masterpiece. Knowing that nobody else lived there before you, brings great satisfaction.
You have to work with your builder to ensure your home will be built in a reasonable time frame and within your budgets range. Pretty soon you’ll be enjoying all the perks of having built your very own home.
