One of the first decisions to make when considering a home
purchase is whether to buy new or purchase an existing home.
Perhaps you love the idea that you can be a
home's very first owner. Everything is new and shiny, the neighbors
are probably also just moving in, you can customize the floor
plan and colors. Buying a new home can be fun and exciting. Once
you weigh the benefits of new homes against the sometimes high
costs of updates or repairs to existing homes, you'll see
that the cost difference between new and existing homes can be
almost non-existent.
YOUR STYLE
You can build a home to fit your lifestyle, personality,
and tastes. Choose your neighborhood, floor plan, and
customize your home to meet your family's needs. |
THEIR STYLE
Someone else built a home to fit their lifestyle, personality,
and tastes, not yours. |
LONG TERM WARRANTY
Every new home built by David Rogers Homes is backed
by a 1-year workmanship, 2-year systems, and 10-year
structural warranty. Also, many of your homes systems
and materials carry much longer manufacturer warranties. |
SHORT TERM OR NO WARRANTY
Existing homes are sold with very limited warranties
to entice buyers. You are ultimately responsible for
repairs. |
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
New homes tend to use less energy than older homes, saving
you money on utilities. They are generally better insulated,
have better windows, and have more efficient central
heating and air conditioning, such as Puron systems. |
YESTERDAY'S EFFICIENCY
Older homes typically use more energy and can be less
friendly to the environment. For example, many older
homes have freon air conditions systems which are slowly
being phased out. |
TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY
With today's demand for efficiency and convenience, new
homes are being wired to accommodate electrical needs
that didn'texist when many existing homes were built.
For example, every David Rogers home has structured
wiring included. |
YESTERDAY'S TECHNOLOGY
Many existing homes are wired for a different generation
of families that didn't require many of the conveniences
we enjoy today. Updating electrical systems can be
a very expensive endeavor. |
FINANCING
OPTIONS & UPGRADES
When building a new home you have the option of paying
for options or rolling them into your mortgage. |
NO FINANCING
Most all updates to existing homes requires full payment
up front. |
MODERN ARCHITECTURE
New homes tend to feature floor plans that are built
to support the way families live today. |
YESTERDAY'S DESIGNS
Many existing homes are built for another time and generation
and may feature smaller closets, lower ceilings, and
outdated elevations. |
NEW HOMES
Your new home is likely to need fewer repairs and replacements
since everything is…well…new, saving
you money on potential maintenance and repair costs. |
EXISTING HOME
Whether it be minor repairs or an expensive repair or
replacement, these costs can add up You never know
when an existing home may need some work, and guess
who pays for it. |
