Benefits of Buying a New Build Home



Some people are drawn to stately older homes in historic parts of America's towns and cities. It's true that older homes can sometimes display handcrafted touches and features that aren't available in newer homes, but it's also true that these idyllic facades often hide a whole host of headaches. Smart home buying involves weighing all of the pros and cons before making a purchase. Here are just a few of the reasons why newly built homes may be a better choice for home buyers.

Environmental Benefits

New homes offer great environmental advantages over older ones. Building codes are regularly updated to require improved energy efficiency that wasn't available in homes twenty or even ten years ago. Newer homes have a tighter seal on the "building envelope" that cuts down on drafts, preventing warm air from seeping out in the winter and keeping cool air inside during the summer. Newer homes often come with things like double-pane windows and high-efficiency appliances already installed.

Freedom of Choice

Home buying can be pretty stressful for many people, as the choices can seem at once overwhelming and insufficient. Working with a builder directly to purchase a new build home frees home buyers from the limits of what's already been built and allows them to choose the perfect design that's right for them. From the floor plan right down to the finish materials, buying new is perfect for getting your personal style into every aspect of your home.

Less Hassle

The biggest drawback to an older home is often the age itself. No matter how sturdily built, homes will eventually start to deteriorate after a number of years, and older homes are far more likely to need maintenance and repair. New homes have the inherent advantage of being new but are also built with modern composite materials that can withstand wear and tear much better than the building materials of a generation ago.

What Our Homebuyers Are Saying

My builder did a great job from beginning to end. I am recommending friends all the time. Robertson Brothers staff have all been very responsive and understanding of my needs and concerns both prior, during and post purchase. The home is exactly as I had hoped. The design team was extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable about selections and truly helped me understand my options. Sales staff and construction supervisor was excellent...always answered my emails on time and treated me with respect. Finally, the closing staff was simply extraordinary. I don't know what I would have done without their help and tenacity to get my loan closed. I'm very grateful to them, Thank you Robertson Brothers you truly are the best!
