Benefits of buying a new home, now!
If you're currently searching the real estate market for a home, you might be contemplating the timing of your purchase and whether investing in a new property is the right decision.
Today's new construction homes boast numerous advantages, positioning them as an attractive option. With customizable features, energy-efficient solutions and the potential for long-term savings, here are the benefits of buying a new home now.
Buydown rates
A buydown rate occurs when a builder pays discount points, commonly known as mortgage points or prepaid points, during the closing process, allowing the borrower to secure a lower interest rate. Home resellers generally do not offer rate buydowns, but many builders do, which can lead to long-term savings.
Special incentives
Many home builders have the flexibility to offer special incentives, which may include flex dollars that can be used to help cover closing costs with the use of preferred lenders. Design credits, appliance packages and discounted prices are also offered by some builders for a limited time. Learn more about our current builder incentives here.
Energy efficiency
Many new construction homes have energy saving features built into the home, such as high-efficiency HVAC, programmable thermostats, energy-efficient lighting, Energy Star Appliances and more, allowing you to lower your impact on the environment while also saving on monthly costs.
Wendell Falls is one of the only master-planned communities in the Triangle built entirely with environmentally friendly homes that meet ecoSelect standards for energy and water efficiency. As a result, residents in the community have an average household annual savings of $712.
Protection of new home warranty
In the event of any unforeseen issues with your new-construction home, you can often rely on the safeguard of a new home warranty, which typically covers necessary repairs within the designated warranty period.
Customization opportunities
Purchasing a new construction home often gives buyers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the builders to customize the home to fit their needs and style.
At Wendell Falls, depending on the home you buy, the builder you work with and the stage of construction the home is in, you have the option to select the flooring, countertops, fixtures and more.
Brand new home
One of the biggest benefits of buying new is that it’s new! With no previous occupants, you can expect the property to be in pristine condition, ensuring that everything is updated and move-in ready.
In contrast, older homes may require repairs or remodeling. This makes new construction homes an excellent choice for buyers working with a tight schedule, or not wanting to worry with repairs and upgrades after closing.
Low maintenance
Additionally, new homes are built in accordance with the latest building codes and safety regulations, meaning they often need less maintenance and upkeep in comparison to older homes. This allows you to save by avoiding additional costs that come with repairs and spend more time enjoying your new home.
New community with top amenities
When you purchase a new home in Wendell Falls, you join a welcoming community with exceptional residents and easy access to restaurants, conveniences and amenities, including pools, fit pods, miles of trails, a fitness center and numerous parks and playgrounds.
