F.A.Q.
Q. Why Buy Now?
A. Building a Stable Future. Home ownership is the single largest creator of wealth for Americans. The sooner a person owns a home, the faster they begin to build up equity and wealth. As a home owner repays their mortgages, their mortgage debt declines, while their home is increasing in value every year. The profits made from selling a home enables buyers with growing families to afford a bigger home in the future, provides money to put children through college, provides a nest egg to retiring couples, etc.
Wisest Investment You Will Ever Make. Entering the market now puts you on the road to home appreciation. On average, a home's value (appreciation) increases 5-6 percent per year. Look at the numbers: if you bought a $160,000 home and put 3% down ($4,800), your investment was $4,800. With a 5% appreciation rate, your $160,000 home would increase in value $8,000 during the first year. Your annual return on investment would be 60%. In contrast, investing $4,800 in the stock market with a 5% gain would only give you a $240 return on investment.
Outstanding Tax Benefits. In most cases, all of the mortgage interest and property taxes you pay in a given year can be fully deducted from your gross income to reduce your taxable income. These deductions can result in thousands of dollars of tax savings, especially in the early years of a mortgage when interest makes up most of the payment. If you own and have lived in your home for 2 years, when you sell it your profit is tax-free up to $500,000 ($250,000 for a single person). This is one of the biggest advantages of home ownership and an easy way to build household wealth.
Home ownership is a huge step to a future of financial security. It provides a permanent place to call home. It strengthens communities by inspiring owners to get involved. Home ownership is associated with economic success. It is truly the fulfillment of the American dream.
Q. Why Buy New?
A. Competitive Pricing. New homes are very competitively priced, and with low interest rates, mortgage payments are very affordable. New homes are also packed with the newest amenities that are guaranteed to save you money. Your just can't go wrong with a new home.
Savings. New Homes are going to save you money in the long run because they utilize the latest environmentally-friendly electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling technologies. Modern heating and cooling equipment - when paired with energy star rated windows - can save you thousands of dollars in utility bills. New homes are virtually maintenance-free for many years because of the new and advanced materials used in them.
Energy Efficiency. New homes are required by law to meet stict energy codes which benefits the buyer. Many older homes were built when energy codes were lenient or non-existent.
Electrical. Homes built in earlier decades were wired much differently than houses today. Builders had no way of anticipating the invention of high-definition televisions, DVRs and computers that we enjoy today and the very different electrical requirements they would introduce. New homes can accommodate advanced technologies like structured wiring, security systems and sophisticated lighting plans, and can be tailored to meet the individual home owner's needs.
Anyone who has ever lived in an older home can also attest to the fact that there are never enough outlets, inside or out! New-home builders plan for the increased number and type of electronics and appliances used by today's families, so you can safely operate a wine cooler, Christmas lights or your computer.
Modern Appliances. Appliances makers come out with new models every year, and new homes offer the latest state-of-the-art equipment at the time of completing the home.
Location. Choosing the community in which you live is great, but you also get to choose which lot you want to put your house on and which way you want your house to face. Would you prefer your bedroom to get morning or afternoon sun?
A brand-new community is one of the built-in benefits of many new homes. When families move in to a subdivision at the same time, often lasting bonds of friendship and neighborliness are formed right away.
Open Designs. New home designs feature open spaces and rooms that flow into each other, like the popular great room. While you are in the kitchen preparing dinner, you can still interact with guests enjoying conversation in the family room without feeling closed off. The feeling of spaciousness in today's new-home layouts often is enhanced with windows that bring in more light than you would find in an older home.
Creating Something New. The advantage of buying new is that you can create your own home decor from the get-go! No time spent stripping dated wallpaper or repainting to suit your own sense of style. The advantages of being the first owner of a home also extends to the outdoors. Instead of inheriting inconveniently or precariously placed trees, or having to tear up overgrown shrubs, you can design and plant the lawn and garden you want.
Warranties. New home buyers are assured of a one-year workmanship warranty, 2 year mechanical warranty and a 10-year structural warranty on their home.
The buyer doesn't have to worry about what the previous buyer has or hasn't done to their home.
