Are House And Land Packages The Answer For Home Buyers?

Buying a new home is a long and arduous process. You retain an agent. You search pages and pages of listings. You visit open houses. You find several that are close to perfect, but none is ever quite right. This home is perfect, but the lot is too small. This one has a lovely back yard, but it is a little on the small side. This one does not have enough closet space to accommodate your shoes. There is always some little thing that could be better. Of course, you could remodel the home after you purchase it, but if you are going to go through all of that trouble, why not build your new home from the ground up? That way, you can ensure that your new home is perfect. There are many benefits to building versus buying a home.

Your Home is Brand New

If you think new car smell is great, you have no idea how good a new house can smell. By building your home, you ensure that everything is brand new. The appliances still have their stickers on them. The first pot roast you ever make in your new stove will be the first ever cooked in that stove. Your AC unit is brand new. The roof will not need to be repaired or replaced for a decade. You are not buying someone else’s problems.

Your Home is Designed for You By You

You can customize your home inside and out. You choose how your home will look and the interior layout. The exterior of your home will look exactly the way you want it to look from the brick to the landscaping in the front yard. In regards to the interior of your home, you choose the layout of the rooms. You decide if the kitchen will be open or closed. You determine how large the bedrooms will be and how many bathrooms there will be. If you want granite and marble surfaces throughout, that is your prerogative. You choose the color of the walls and carpet. Everything will be just as you like it.

You Choose Where Your Home is Located

The three rules of real estate are,”Location, location, location.”

When you build your home, you get to choose the location of your home. All you need is a vacant lot. Never underestimate the effect location has on the value of your home. A home in an excellent location will appreciate much faster than a perfect home in a less desirable location. You can pick the perfect neighborhood and have the perfect home.

Building your own home is the easiest way to realize your dream of owning the perfect home. Aside from all of the benefits mentioned here, you also gain the benefit of built in equity. New homes often appraise for more than their actual construction costs. You can immediately have equity in your new home, and in today’s market, that may be the greatest benefit of all.
