At first glance, you may think that building a new home is out of your budget. But let's think about this and the reasons why new construction homes can be more affordable than a resale or older home in the long run.

With a new construction home, you know exactly what you are getting, and it is backed by a warranty for those unexpected, unavoidable, covered issues that may arise. While the first few years should be repair-free, resale or older homes may come with a lot of costly unknowns that may need attention.

A Berk's home is constructed with energy efficiency in mind. We use windows with Low E Argon Gas, LED lighting, high-efficiency appliances, energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment and insulate the basement walls. These modern materials and systems can significantly keep your energy costs down. A resale or older home may not necessarily have these advantages. 

With a Berk's home, you will be safeguarded with the best 10-year Limited Warranty program available today. You don't get this peace of mind and money-saving advantage with a resale home, where the repair costs are all on you from day 1.

When you build a new home, you have the golden opportunity to choose your interior and exterior features and options. This saves you from purchasing a resale home and making costly renovations to personalize it to your liking. For a look into our first-class selection gallery where these features are chosen, check out my August 16, 2021 blog post!

New construction homes can offer many advantages to your wallet that make them more affordable than purchasing an older home. I recommend taking into consideration the lower maintenance costs, energy efficiency, warranty and customization savings when considering the initial costs of your home purchase.
