Some people think it can be more expensive to move into a newly built home as opposed to a resale home. What they may not consider is by the time you knock out walls, repair or replace the roof or spring for a new, more efficient heating system and new windows, you're not saving as much as you thought you'd be. The following are some of the many perks our homebuyers enjoy once they move into their new home.

More storage space. Back in the day, people had limited wardrobes and fewer possessions and could get by with small closets. In today's world, you can never have enough storage, cabinets and pantry space. With dedicated closets in every room, extra pantry space, expansive kitchens, and two- to three-car garages, it's easy to see how your new home will be less cluttered and more organized than an older home with less than ample storage options.

Lot of bathrooms. Not long ago, homes were built with one bathroom and, if you were lucky, an additional 3/4 bath or powder room. But not anymore. Today, everyone needs the bathroom in the mornings because everyone has some place they need to be and since all of our homes deliver two to three bathrooms, there’s room for everyone to start their day.

Savings cha-ching cha-ching. Newly built homes save you money on utility bills each month, and those savings can add up over time. With new, Energy Star-rated appliances, double pane windows, more efficient HVAC systems and better insulation, a brand-new home means you'll save money and be more comfortable – a win-win!

Everything is new! When you walk in, you’re the first one to use everything in the house from the microwave to the AC to the stove! On top of getting all brand new materials in your house, our homes have a One (1) Year Fit and Finish Warranty and our Premier Customer Service Program. This saves money, your precious time and energy as well.

Flex space. No need to compromise because with a newly built home, you can select from many floor plans or even choose a home where you can modify the rooms. Always dreamed of a walk-in closet or a spa like bathroom? Done! That's one of the nicest things of all about building a new home as opposed to buying a home that's five, 10 or 15 years old somebody else has lived in. There is no need to compromise.
