Key Reasons Why Building A Home Provides More Value

When out on the home market, buying a new home as opposed to an existing property will be one of the biggest decisions you have to wrestle with. There is a lot of value to buying new that you just don’t get with settling for old. 

Considering factors like customization, energy efficiency, and long-term investment potential will help you understand why new construction is the most rewarding choice for homeowners. 

Here at Bennefield Construction, we specialize in crafting custom homes that align with your unique vision and lifestyle to provide a living experience that is built just for you. Let’s jump into the key reasons why building a new home not only fulfills your vision but also offers greater value in the long run.

Maximize Your Home’s Potential with New Construction

When you opt for a new-home build, it gives you the opportunity to design every little detail to your heart’s content. 

‍Timeless architecture choices will ensure that your home retains its appeal for years to come, helping to preserve and optimize value whether you’re looking to keep the home or sell it down the line. 

You can avoid costly updates and fleeting trends when your builder uses high-quality materials and modern building techniques to make your home “future-proof” in more ways than one. 

The potential is endless and the choices are yours. We’re talking long-term charm and magnetism, durability, and higher energy efficiency.

Increased Energy Efficiency in a New Home

It’s the latter of those benefits that is particularly interesting—the energy efficiency of a new home build is a significant factor to be considered. Modern HVAC systems, for example, provide year-round comfort while reducing energy consumption, which translates to lower utility costs and a more comfortable, regulated living space. 

Cleaner indoor air is also up for grabs (who doesn’t want that?!), as these newer systems are designed to filter out allergens and other pollutants so you and your family can breathe better and live healthier.

Energy-efficient windows will also supplement this new technology, because they’ll reduce heat loss in the winter and keep your house cooler in the summer. This takes the strain off your HVAC and increases the lifespan of all the working parts of your home. It all-in-all makes the home more sustainable, affordable, and environmentally-friendly, too.

Choosing Your Lot

Maybe you’ve had the experience of finding a home you like, but in a location you really don’t. When you build a custom new home, this problem goes away. 

You pick the location. 

You pick the lot. 

You pick the home. 

We build it.

It’s that simple! Everything is to your liking, and the dream of living your life exactly where and how you want all of a sudden becomes a reality. Whether you prefer a corner lot in a new neighbourhood, or a little more privacy at the end of a cul-de-sac, you have the flexibility to make the choice that is right for you.

Want more sunlight in the morning—or to see the sun set from your living room at night? These are the kind of questions that are simply not part of the discussion when viewing an older property.

Builder’s Warranty: Added Protection for Your New Home

New homes typically come with a one-year warrant to cover issues related to craftsmanship, material quality, home systems, and more. This gives you peace of mind when moving in that you’re not going to be stuck with something that hasn’t been built to the highest standard. If issues come up, you can sleep at night knowing they’ll be resolved without cost.

Most builders also offer a longer-term structural warranty to cover things like roofs and foundations, offering further protection for the more fundamental (and costly) components of the home.

Enjoying Brand-New Amenities

There’s nothing worse than buying a property and finding out that the toilet needs fixing, the stove doesn’t work, or the counter is being held up by a rotten old 2x4. Skip all of that headache—be the first to enjoy every room and every amenity in a brand new custom home. Everything will reflect your choices and preferences to live the exact kind of life you want. That sense of personalization and ownership will exist from day one, providing the irreplaceable feeling of living in a home that’s yours right from the start.

A Smart Future Investment

New homes tend to appreciate more quickly than older, resale dwellings. Modern features and more energy-efficient technology increases the likelihood of higher offers when it comes time to sell, making the custom-built home a smart investment over time. Reduced maintenance costs sweeten the deal while you’re living there, and any necessary changes prior to listing will likely be kept to a minimum compared to trying to modernize an aging property.

When you build a new home, you’re building more than just a physical space—it’s a future waiting to unfold. You and your family can enjoy a home that improves quality of life, meets your needs, and is designed around your lifestyle. Energy-efficient, cost-effective, and choices, choices, choices.
