Creating a custom home is a dream come true for many people. Designing a home and then seeing it come to life is a fabulous experience. What many people do not realize is that creating custom homes can also provide the homeowner with more value than buying another kind of home.

1. New Homes are More Energy Efficient

Many older homes are built with outdated materials that are simply not as energy efficient. A custom home is often built with modern materials that reduce energy loss and make it easier to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

2. A New Home is a Safer Home

Newer homes are safer than older homes. Many older homes have been built with techniques that can cause safety problems. For example, an older home may have outdated electrical wiring. New homes have newer, safer wiring that is likely to cause a fire hazard.

3. A Better Location

When you create a new home, you can often pick the location that you want to go with it. A new location often means a lovely lot that has many wonderful features. This may include more acres, a better view and an easier commute to your job. The possibilities are endless.

4. Fewer Compromises

Buying an older home means you often have to compromise on something during the process. When you commission a home of your own on your home, you can frequently get the kind of home you like down the very fixtures and the type of flooring you like. You get a home that is created according to your personal likes in every single home detail.

5. Reduced Maintenance Costs

One of the great things about buying a newer is that you’ll have fewer cost to maintain it. Older homes often need lots of repairs. An older home may require lots of new things like a new roof, a new boiler and many other new systems. This can vastly increase the costs of owning it and reduce the home’s value.

6. More Convenient

Many people want to have a home that is custom designed for their specific hobbies. If you like to play billiards, show off your car collection or demonstrate your taste in art, it’s easier to do that with a new home. You also get more convenient features like home automation systems.

7. You Know What You’re Getting

Those who buy an older home may not know what they’re getting. An older home may have all sorts of problems that are not always visible. The previous owner have tried to conceal a problem. Even a home inspection can’t be trusted to spot all the problems that may exist. When you buy that new home, you supervise the process and you know what you’re going to get when it’s completed.

8. A Warranty

At Alair Homes Brandon, we offer a warranty on all of our homes. This warranty covers many aspects of the home. An older home may have no warranty or it may have a limited warranty. If something goes wrong, the homeowner can be left with thousands of dollars in bills they must pay to continue to live in the home.
