New vs. Used

Benefits of Buying New

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Choosing to buy a new home or a used home can seem a little intimidating, and there are many factors to consider when choosing where you and your family are going to live. So, where do you start? Who do you speak with to start the home search? Do you buy a used house or build a new home?

    To help you decide, we’ve put together some hidden factors to consider while searching the used home market.

    1

    Out-Of-Pocket Costs

    While used houses may present themselves at an initial lower cost, the cost of inspections and other non-refundable fees will ultimately increase the total cost of purchasing a new home. Cost of inspections typically include spending at least $300 - $400 before you ever commit to purchasing a house.

      Personalizing Your Home

      Home renovations can sound like an exciting DIY project at the time, but often homeowners end up spending way more than they bargained for. On a national average, a homeowner can spend up to $45,000 in renovations, according to Home Adviser. When buying or building a Betenbough home, you are able to select options to make your new house a home. This good news is, you can do all this without ever picking up a paint brush, drill or hammer.

        New Home Warranties

        Used homes don't include new home warranties, and the cost of repairs and maintenance can eat at your savings. Every Betenbough home includes a two-year comprehensive new home warranty at no extra cost. This two-year warranty allows you the opportunity to live peacefully without worrying about constantly up-keeping or remodeling your brand-new home.

          Energy Efficiency

          Used homes have fewer energy efficient features and appliances. In every Betenbough home, there are several features that not only reduce strain on the environment, but also benefit homeowners by reducing energy costs and protecting the health of families. Brand-new Betenbough homes offer an advanced framing system, water conserving fixtures, LED lighting, Low-VOC paint and Low-E windows.
