Existing vs. New Home
New home or previously owned? That is, perhaps, one
of the first questions you may ask yourself in your
home search process. Perhaps you've fantasized about
purchasing a fixer-upper and giving it an extreme makeover.
Or maybe you've always dreamed of building a home from
the ground up and making all new color and appliance
choices.
Whatever your desire, talk to Barbara Wilson,
Medina County's #1 Real Estate Agent, about
which choice is best for you. She can help you consider
your personality, lifestyle, budget and personal preferences,
as well as show you both new and existing homes that
may be of interest to you. And she'll share with you
information on numerous builders and developments in
the communities that interest you most.
You may already know why you should work with a Realtor®
to help you find an existing home, but make sure you
also learn more about why you need an agent for a new
home purchase, too. Regardless of whether you choose
a new or existing home, one thing is certain: home ownership
remains a strong investment and home improvement a good
re-investment of your financial resources.
Advantages
New homes offer convenience and peace of mind.
New homes are subject to improved safety requirements,
which means no-lead paint and asbestos-free insulation
are used in its construction. High-tech solutions in
heating and cooling usually ensure a more comfortable,
energy-efficient surrounding.
Existing homes offer stability and savings.
The hallmark of an existing home is a well-developed
neighborhood with established zoning laws and school
districts. Typically, there's more room for negotiation
especially when it comes to incorporating items
such as a repair allowance.
With numerous benefits for both building new and buying
an existing home, you can consult with Barbara
Wilson to help you choose a primary path.
