There are four points property hunters should consider to assist them in deciding between homes that have been lived in and new ones to sell.
Energy Efficiency
With the latest construction materials, techniques, and general environmental awareness, homes have never been more efficient in energy use. Contrary to many older structures that were constructed in a time before the energy cost was lower and new constructions are designed to use as little power and water as it is possible. Therefore, homeowners will have to deal with utility charges that are considerably less than if they picked a home that was older to purchase.
Craftsmanship and Materials
When you browse through the pages of home and architectural magazines, it is evident that almost every house in the magazine is older. One of the major reason for this is the incredible quality of craftsmanship. Hand-carved wooden banisters ferrous railings, as well as plaster moldings can be found in older structures. One can also find wonderful building materials in older houses including old-growth redwood, flame mahogany and Tiger oak. These materials, even if they are still available, could be very expensive to construct which could drastically increase the price of a new house to be sold.
Maintenance
One of the major benefits when buying a new home to sell is that there are there are no repairs to be made. The plumbing, electrical equipment, carpet, doors, and light fixtures are all brand new. If something does go out of the ordinary after the purchase it is likely that the item will be covered under a guarantee. However an older property could have any number of issues that may arise. The furnace or air conditioner may fail, the roof might develop leaks or even an infestation of termites. The cost to fix these issues will likely come out of the homeowners' pockets.
Location
In any town or city The older buildings are almost always at the top of the list for geographic location. This could mean they were constructed in zones that are less likely to flood, have better views, or have better accessibility to town. The vast majority of the desirable building locations already have a house on top of them. Buyers will have a much less trouble finding an older house available for sale in a desirable area than get a newer house.
When it comes to deciding between a previously owned and a new house for sale both have advantages and disadvantages. Buyers should think about their budget, the location of their jobs, and their own needs as homeowners prior making a decision.
