New Home Advantages

One of the first decisions a home buyer will be faced with is whether to buy a new home or a used home. Used homes generally are cheaper per square foot of home and can be found in established neighbourhoods. Various benefits come with a new home as follows.

  1. Everything in the house is new including the furnace, water heater, roof etc. This means there is no chance of unexpected costly repairs and that these represent the latest technology.
  2. The house can be tailored to your own preferences including the lot, floor plan, colours, flooring etc.
  3. Over time building science has improved and the requirements of the Ontario Building Code have become greater. A new home is simply a better built home because of these developments. The greatest improvements have been in the area of energy efficiency. These efficiencies not only result in lower costs for heating and air conditioning but make for a more comfortable climate within the home.
  4. A new home comes with a 7 year Tarion Warranty providing the purchase with protection against defects in their new home.
