Sarasota New Construction vs. Buying an Existing Home

Why should you build a new home in Sarasota rather than buy an existing one? As prices continue to rise for existing Sarasota homes, new construction will continue to grow in appeal as a sound investment. New construction can sometimes be the better choice from an investment perspective. More buyers are driven to new construction in Sarasota as the price of existing homes is meeting or exceeding the price of building new.

So… why should you build a new home in Sarasota?

Aside from the fact that most people just want newer homes, there are obvious benefits to building a new home rather than purchasing old.

New homes don’t have the issues that old homes have:

• Bad insulation
• Broken pipes
• Mold
• Leaks
• Broken systems
• Aging system

A new home can be designed for the way you want to live

• No compromise!
• No ugly paint/tile/flooring/windows……this list could go on forever
• A home you can be proud of
• A home with true appeal that will maximize your profitability at resale

A new home will conform to todays building codes

• It will be safer than an old home
• You’ll save money on insurance
• You’ll save money on electricity

Building a new home in Sarasota will always get more money at resale than an equivalent older home. If it’s designed and built well, this difference will be magnified. Most people shy away from building new because the process scares them. However, today with the price of an existing home nearing the price of new construction home buyers have more incentive than ever to build a home that truly suits their needs, tastes, lifestyle and aesthetics and make an investment that will provide a better and quicker payoff when the time comes.

Take the time, build a home that will fill you with the pride of ownership every time you take the walk to the front door!
