3 Advantages of Building a Home vs. Buying

You’re ready to be home. You have a vision in mind, and you’re ready to settle for nothing less than perfection. But maybe finding your perfect home on the market hasn’t been so successful. And to that, we say: have you considering building one?

A lot of risks come when you buy a home. Often, you’re forced to compromise on your dream home. Maybe you have thought about building your very own, but you don’t know if it’s what you want.

Here’s the kicker: it is what you want; you just don’t know it yet. Below are some advantages to building a home you might not have considered.

Picture this: you find the home you want to buy, but the issues start piling up:

• You make concessions about the square footage
• You don’t quite like the flooring
• The color isn’t right
• The master bath is too small
• Or, it’s perfect! But you’re out-bid

It’s time-consuming enough to go house hunting. And it’s like finding a needle in a haystack to find a special place where all your expectations come in one package. However, you face no opposition and no compromise when building a home.

If you’re lucky enough to buy a home without the price jacked-up by other bidders, you might be purchasing a home with older appliances that are much less energy-efficient. You could even inherit dreadful, unforeseen maintenance issues from previous owners.

It comes as no surprise that building a home makes your purchase more valuable. You’re making an investment in your future with newer appliances, proper installation, and a warranty from professionals on your purchases.

How many times in your life did you get exactly what you want?

Building a home gives you total control and the ability to customize as if you were dreaming. It’s yours to decide what the floor plans look like, where the rooms are, and how big the kitchen is. You completely design every luxury. If you have a family or want to start one, you can plan for that. If you need to work from home and require office space, you can have it.

With a hands-on approach, you are master and commander of the taste and style of the house. You’ll also have professionals to make suggestions when necessary.

Building from scratch means no inherited maintenance and no part of the house you need to make over. It is all exactly as you want it, and you can be at peace in the home of your dreams.

Let the stress of competing buyers, lead paint, and asbestos ceiling melt away all when you choose to build a house instead of buying. The issues plaguing used-home buyers won’t be ones for you.

The satisfaction you feel when the place you’ve always dreamed of becomes yours is the best feeling. Invest in yourself, your happiness, and your future by building a house you can truly call “yours.”

When you build a home, you garner a personal connection to your property. You have a team of professionals who understand your vision and work closely with you to complete it. Don’t settle for the second, third, or fourth-best option — create your satisfaction from the ground up.

If you were on the fence about building vs. buying, this article is your sign to build, build, build! We know it’s a big decision, so let these advantages ease your mind and start creating your ideal home today.
