I have found it difficult to find info on this subject that is reproducible that's why I want you to know.
New Homes are more energy efficient. Builders use the most up to date products and strive to make a better home each and every day.
Not all new homes are built alike. LEARN all you can about new homes; construction materials, methods, warranties and usability. Construction methods and materials are localized. If your clients are moving to a new area and you are referring them, let them know what to expect when they get there.
New homes are less maintenance. No one elses problems, warranties, up to date materials that are chosen for livablility. MOST new homes in my area use vinyl siding, vinyl windows & vinyl trim. Wood is not the best product for our area.
New homes offer great incentives to use the lender and closing agent, usually making the buyer more comfortable with less money out of pocket for them.
Competetion between builders makes pricing more attractive.
Options and floorplan are exactly what you wanted. Find the lot of your dreams and the neighborhood /area right where you want to be.
Appliances are new, under warranty and updated almost yearly. Builders buying power will normally reduce the prices that you can buy the appliances.
Appreciation is normally greater in new neighborhoods. Builders raise their prices on a regular basis as they are reevaluated on a regular basis and bid out.
New homes may not always be an option or even the best option for your client. The choice is their's!!
