Have you considered buying new construction for your next home purchase? There are numerous benefits to buying a new construction rather than a preowned home. These benefits include being generally more energy efficient, being able to personalize the finishes and features, and even having parts of the home covered under a builder’s warranty. 


While many people would love to buy a new home, they may choose to buy an existing home instead believing that this is the cheaper option. This is a common misconception that typically is not always true. Yes a new home may cost more money up front in some cases, but you must take into consideration the cost of home maintenance. A new home will generally not require any major repairs for the first several years at least, but an existing home may have a repair pop up at anytime depending on the age of the home. Buying new construction ensures that everything is brand new, so it should last a long time before requiring repair.


If you are considering buying new construction, take a look at the website below to get information on all of the new construction communities in the Gainesville area.
