Are you prepared to roll the dice?
A common misconception among homebuyers today is that the best values in the market are foreclosures. Yes, there are some good deals on foreclosed homes, however, if you take a closer look, you might find that buying a NEW home is actually a better value, a safer investment and offers more peace of mind.
Probably the most important consideration when comparing a new home versus a foreclosure is the protection you have when you purchase a new home. If anything goes wrong after closing, a new home is covered by the builder's one-year limited warranty on workmanship and materials, as well as a ten-year structural warranty. You have peace of mind knowing there won't be any unanticipated out-of-pocket repair costs to absorb.
Most people aren't aware that properties sold in foreclosure are sold "as is". This should be one of the biggest concerns for any potential homebuyer. It means there's no warranty protection and there isn't any recourse if there are construction defects, environmental hazards or problems of any kind with the home. Often, maintenance or "behind the walls" issues are not readily visible and problems arise after closing and you're living in the home. As a buyer, these repairs (sometimes very costly) are made "out of pocket" and add to the actual cost of the home.
The greatest benefit of buying new is purchasing your dream home. You are the first owner and everything is sparkling clean, and brand new. In many cases you can customize the home to reflect you own tastes and personality instead of living with someone else's choices. Often, purchasers of foreclosures or used homes are forced to make a substantial additional investment after the sale to paint, replace damaged or missing fixtures and/or appliances, stained or worn-out carpets and dead landscaping.
One last thing to consider is the quality of construction and the reputation of the builder. Stanley Homes, a custom new home builder in the Melbourne area, is a third generation, local custom builder with a reputation for building great homes with a great value. In addition to being backed by a Warranty, Stanley Homes incorporates the latest technology, design and materials in all of their homes. Stanley Homes are more energy efficient than ever before and stronger than homes built just a few years ago because of new building codes and new developments in home construction.
There are many other reasons why a new home is a better value and a better investment in your future. So when you're out shopping for a foreclosure home and looking for that "good deal," consider visiting new home communities too. Prices are at an all-time low, and many builders like Stanley Homes offer affordable pricing, excellent quality and a good deal that THEY GUARANTEE.

Work in Orlando and Live by the Beach
Reduce Stress. Live Longer. Be Happier. Enjoy Life
What could be better than a relaxing drive home from work, being greeted by the neighborhood Sandhill Cranes, then pulling up to your new home which is nestled next to a beautiful nature preserve. Perhaps, during the summer months, you could get in a round of golf before dark or walk the beach at sunset. If you lived in Stanley Home's beautiful Bella Luna neighborhood in Melbourne, then this could be you.
Living in a new home in the Melbourne area of Brevard County is a great option if you commute daily to Orlando or need easy access to the Orlando International airport. Stanley Home's Bella Luna an easy 45 minutes (or less!) drive to Orlando's International Airport. Did I say easy? When you commute to Orlando from the Melbourne area, instead of driving I-4 with lots and lots of traffic, you drive the much less traveled 4-lane 528. My friend lives in the Longwood area and it takes her as long or longer to get to the airport area than it takes me from the Melbourne area. Another friend commutes from Downtown Orlando and it takes just a little over 30 minutes. It's really a lifestyle decision - but you can have your cake and eat it too. Live in a beautiful beachside community and enjoy the activity of downtown Orlando.
Bella Luna is a haven of graceful living. A gated community that provides privacy, nearby parks and beautiful, clean beaches. And, there's quick access to I-95, 528, Melbourne International and Orlando International airports. With new homes priced from the mid $200,000s to the $300,000's and interest rates so low, this is a great time to buy a new home in Bella Luna - whether you commute to Orlando or work from home.
