Wondering if a new construction home is your next move? To spare you the trouble here's a PRO/CON list so you can stop wondering and start knowing if floor plans and upgrades are in your future? - 

Pros of a New Construction:

  1. Customization to your precise needs and wants
  2. Fewer maintenance expenses (at least in the first few years)
  3. No need for renovations or repairs; truly "move-in ready"
  4. Extra warranties and financing incentives
  5. Energy-efficient and optimal wireless connectivity
  6. That "new home" smell


Cons of a New Construction:

  1. Less room for price negotiations
  2. Not all builders are equal
  3. Upgrades aren't cheap
  4. Often lacking mature landscaping
  5. Lengthy timeline and potential delays
  6. Financing challenges
