If you’re looking to buy, there is something very special and enticing on buying brand spanking new. The new home industry has a great market to target here in Seattle, and most clients begin to factor in location, commute to and from work, school districts in the area and of course the asking price, but there are some other factors that one should also consider. An older home can come with the inevitable headache of old pipes, older roof, and appliances that are outdated. Buying new might give you the opportunity to customize your home, to include everything you might want in a home. If you want to build a rooftop deck, or expand the family room out and add a larger deck, you’re now able to do that all within the building permits. Newer homes are also designed with modern concepts such as incorporating green components that will also be cost efficient. Insulation in the walls, ceiling and floors as well as dual paned windows retain more heat in winter, and keep the space cool in the summer. Are you considering buying new? Please share your thoughts on the process of design concepts, cost and other factors to consider. If you're looking to buy or sell y our home contact your local real estate agent today.
