4 Reasons to Choose a New Construction Home
When you're searching for your dream home, one of the first decisions you'll face is whether to buy new construction or a resale property. With Meritage Homes, you get the best of both: the turnkey simplicity of a resale home while benefiting from the cutting-edge features, energy efficiency, and comprehensive warranties that only a new home can offer. It’s the perfect balance of convenience and innovation.
Let’s explore how modern construction, healthier materials, and advanced technology make all the difference and why it could be the right choice for your lifestyle and future.
1. Built to Higher Standards
Today’s homes are a testament to how far construction techniques and engineering have advanced in the last decade. With more substantial, more reliable materials and innovative designs, new homes are built to higher standards than ever before. Key features include:
- Modern Construction Materials: Built to last, ensuring durability and reducing the risk of leaks or structural damage.
- Energy-Efficient Appliances: Move-In Ready with brand-new Whirlpool appliances, combining convenience and sustainability.
- Smart Technology: Equipped with features like smart locks, lighting, thermostats, and video doorbells to enhance security and simplify daily living.
- Included Warranties: Comprehensive coverage for appliances, HVAC systems, and construction defects, offering financial peace of mind.
Resale homes may require significant repairs or upgrades to outdated systems, adding to homeownership's initial cost and stress.
2. A Timeline You Can Trust
Predictability is a major perk of buying new. While resale homes might depend on the seller’s schedule, Meritage offers dependable timing and added assurance with our Closing-Ready Guarantee.
Here’s how it works: Your Meritage home will be ready to close in 60 days or less, or we’ll reimburse up to $5,000 of expenses related to the delay so your move stays on track. It’s our way of ensuring your transition is seamless.
3. A Fresh Start, Ready Now
Why take on the hassle and expense of home renovations when you can move into a home constructed with modern style and convenience from the very beginning? Meritage Homes offers designer-curated finishes and beautifully crafted spaces, ready for you to start living comfortably from day one. In comparison, resale homes often lack adaptability and typically require expensive, time-consuming updates. Once you embrace the comfort of modern living, you’ll never want to look back.
4. Neighborhoods That Bring People Together
New home communities are thoughtfully designed with amenities that enhance your lifestyle, offering modern conveniences and creating neighborhoods tailored for families and active living. These can include:
- Parks and walking trails
- Playgrounds and tot lots
- Swimming pools, cabanas, and fitness centers
- Pickleball courts and recreation areas
Resale homes often lack these types of amenities or the built-in community feel of a thoughtfully designed new neighborhood.
