Should I buy a new construction home? That is a question many ask themselves when venturing into the home-buying process. With such a big purchase, it’s an important question to ask. Several things set new construction homes apart from previously-owned homes, but one we’d like to focus on is how well they coincide with your needs and lifestyle.
After 50 years of building homes in the Pittsburgh area, and now the Philadelphia area, Eddy Homes has helped many buyers find newly built homes with benefits that exceed resale homes in many categories. A new Eddy home includes what you need and want from the start and we have options located in areas where you and your family can thrive. Let’s explore more reasons why you should consider a new construction home.
Why Buying a New Construction Home Suits Your Needs & Lifestyle
One of the most well-known perks to buying a new construction home is the ability to personalize it. You’ll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of floor plan options that cater to how you live. For instance, you may need a private office space for working from home or prefer a first-floor owner’s suite for easy access. Being able to choose a home with the right amount of bedrooms and bathrooms or make some layout and feature choices is a major win. It also doesn’t hurt that new construction homes will have modern, functional, and open layouts that work for many homeowners lifestyles. Plus, whether you buy a quick move-in home or build from scratch, you will have designer finishes. No need to worry about spending time on making updates after moving in.
Speaking of updates, newly built homes are exactly that, NEW! Along with the benefit of knowing no one else has lived in it before, your new home includes brand new everything. From the roof to the foundation and appliances to systems, there’s no second guessing if things will need to be repaired or replaced short term like with older resale homes. Peace of mind that comes with a builder warranty is another benefit that may suit your needs better. Just imagine moving in, ready to enjoy your home, and finding out you need to dish out funds for a new water heater. New homes will provide you less stress and more time to live your life.
The comfort of a freshly built, new construction home that’s customized to fit your needs is all-around better for you and your family’s well-being. They’re built with better materials for durability and include energy-efficient features to improve comfort and lower utility bills. You can expect things like better indoor air quality, quality insulation, low VOC paints, and more. Another way new homes fit your needs and lifestyle better than a resale home is that many have smart features. These could be technology like smart thermostats, security monitoring systems, or smart locks.

Market Insights
With the shift in the housing market over the last few years, new homes are still a favorable choice. “In fact, newly constructed homes are playing a much bigger role in the housing market today than they have in at least four decades.” “[They] now account for about a third of all houses for sale, more than double the historical average.” Previously-owned homes on the market are near record lows and are unable to compete with new construction homes for sale because of availability.
Regardless of mortgage rates, new home development hasn’t slowed down with permits for construction still on the rise. Buyers can also rely on quick move-in homes to be available while existing home inventory is low. The potential for builder incentives is another benefit new homes can offer to relieve uncertainty surrounding the current rates or other apprehension around home buying. In any case, as long as there are new construction homes available, demand for housing will remain strong.
