Build Your New Home or Buy A Resale?

Who hasn’t dreamed of building their dream home from scratch? From the perfectly designed kitchen to the expansive master bedroom suite, it’s an appealing idea to create the perfect home for you and your family. But is building a new home really the right decision for you? There are benefits and drawbacks for both new construction and buying a resale home.

Building a New Home

The biggest advantage of building a home is that everything is new. While you envision everything perfectly, that’s not always feasible. Building codes, lot restrictions and financial limitations could cause you to compromise more than you’ hoped. There are also construction delays and unexpected costs to consider.

Resale Home

A resale home might not have everything you want, but it could provide a great value. With careful thought, a resale might only require minor renovations to suit your taste. Much of the expensive work has already been done, such as landscaping. However, the remodeling costs could be considerable if the home is very outdated and this could be out-of-pocket cost. Both new construction and resales homes have benefits. If you are in the market for a new home, consider the options in your area and compare real costs and benefits. Knowing the difference can save you money and help you find the right home for your needs and lifestyle.

Builder Confidence Hits 11-Year High

Builder Confidence Hits 11-Year High - In many areas of the country, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers looking to purchase their dream homes. Experts have long proposed that a ramp-up in new, single-family home construction would be one of the many ways to overcome this inventory shortage.

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and Wells Fargo, housing market confidence amongst builders reached an 11-year high last month.

What Does High Confidence Mean for the Housing Market?

In a recent interview, Rob Dietz, Chief Economist and SVP for NAHB, put it this way:

“Higher market confidence will translate into more building and more inventory in 2017. We expect single-family construction to grow 10 percent next year.”

With 2016 marking the best year in real estate sales in over a decade, a 10 percent ramp-up in single-family construction will only aid in making 2017 an even greater year.

According to the latest US Census data, sales of newly constructed homes were up 3.7% over January 2016 as they reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 555,000. Dietz went on to comment:

“We can expect further growth in new home sales throughout the year, spurred on by employment gains and a rise in household formations. As the supply of existing homes remains tight, more consumers will turn to new construction.”

Bottom Line

With the weather and the real estate market heating up this spring, there will be a surge of new construction coming to the market soon.
