Pros of a New Home Building

In addition to the benefits of a new build (like choosing your floor plan, design and fixtures), 2021 brings new benefits and considerations like historically low interest rates and the need to work from home. If the timing is right for you to build, here are 5 additional items to take into consideration:

1. Build Your Forever Home Now – The supply of available homes has decreased due to demand. With low inventory in mind, this may fast track your decision to skip purchasing an existing home and jump right to building your forever home.
2. Purchase Land in 2021 Now and Build Later – Finding the perfect piece of land to ‘land’ on gives you an additional flexibility in the event that you’re just not quite ready to build, but want to keep taking steps towards your dream home completion. 
3. Customized WFH Space – More jobs are shifting to the ‘work from home’ model for employees. Therefore, more professionals are craving office space focused upon creating functional, comfortable work space with natural light and no salt and pepper shakers. Designing a home with a customized office space is a great way to create comfortable and productive work areas.
4. More (or Less) Space – Upsizing or downsizing? Customizing allows you to accommodate for family growth or adjust for kids leaving the house.
5. Peace of Mind – New home construction usually means no major structural issues like outdated plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC and ect. Secondly, some homebuilders include a 1-year craftsmanship warranty for added peace of mind. 

In conclusion, if you’re considering a 2021 home building project in the future, you’re not alone, plus comes with many benefits and a lifetime of memories to build.
