New Home versus a pre-owned home.

Home buying Tips new vs. pre-owned
Many home shoppers consider buying a pre-owned or used home during the home buying process. We're glad you're shopping for a new home that can be built to order just for you. In fact, we're happy to review a few of the big benefits of owning a brand new home. Keep these helpful tips in mind as you continue your search for a home to call your very own.

Everything around you is new.
This is your opportunity to live in a home where no one else has lived before. Everything in your home is clean and brand new. There's no out-of-date carpeting to rip out, walls to repaint or pesky oil stains on the garage floor.

You can choose a floor plan that reflects the way you live today.
Think about this for a moment. Many resale homes were built in the 1950s, ‘60s or ‘70s. Home designs are always evolving to address the different ways people live. At Garland Griffin homes, you can create the floor plan that best meets your needs with larger rooms, vaulted ceilings, kitchens that open to family rooms, walk-in closets, sun rooms and master bedroom suites. In a resale home, you may have to move a wall to get the convenience or living space you're looking for. That's not fun. And it’s definitely not cheap. When you consider the price of a resale home, make sure you factor in all of the hidden costs of updating items that you want to change.

New building materials and appliances are built to last and many include warranties.
Again, why waste time and money fixing up an old home? Owning a new home means having the latest appliances, counter tops and features. With Garland Griffin Homes, you'll have brand new appliances, quality flooring, energy-efficient insulation and double-pane windows and modern heating/cooling systems that are low-maintenance and easy to operate. And that's just scratching the surface. Plus, new products often come with warranties that you won't find in an older home. When you move into a used home, you may have to begin worrying about the dishwasher breaking down or central air conditioning giving out. The results can be a hassle and terribly expensive too.

Personalize your choices at Garland Griffin Homes.
You'll find only the latest design features at Garland Griffin Homes. Each of the features is installed under warranty, and you may be able to roll the cost into your mortgage. So, in addition to making the design choices more affordable, you may see savings at tax time. Garland Griffin Homes also provides a personal design consultant. The consultant will get to know you, your style and your home design needs. Whether you need a home office, a room for crafting or special features for entertaining, you'll get personal assistance in creating a home that matches the way you live.
