Affordability

The National Mortgage Contract Rate is significantly lower than it was in the 1990's and, it is still at a historically low point. In addition to low rates builders are offering incentives that give you much more buying power than you have previously had and mortgage companies are offering buy downs and low locked rates. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of one of the many new loan options that are currently available. Low rates and low down payments help you negate pricey closing costs and go for a more expensive home that you were previously unable to afford. Knowing how to shop, compare and negotiate can significantly lower your monthly payments. BuyNewBuyNow.org is committed to keeping you informed on new mortgage features that can help you save money.

Energy Efficiency

Do you have to turn off the air conditioning to use your microwave to prevent blowing a fuse? Have huge power bills that put a strain on your wallet every month? BuyNowBuyNew.org members are working to change that. Technology improves quickly in every field and home building is no different. New homebuilders are using technologically advanced methods to help you save money on your utility bills. The products that builders use today did not even exist when most resale homes were built. Tyvek® house wrap and R-13 insulation help the average new home to save 50% over a resale home. Over the course of a year that adds up to a lot of money in your pocket. Not to mention the convenience of having an outlet and cable jack where you want them.

Incentiives

Do you want it new and do you need it now? New homebuilders can eliminate the waiting. Immediate delivery homes are available in many different stages meaning that you can have a new home completely personalized and decorated for you by a professional or you can make all of the choices yourself. If you're being transferred or your resale is closing quickly, don't wait through the entire building process. You can purchase a home that is painted and carpeted or just finished up to drywall. This way you can have all the conveniences of a new home delivered just as quickly as you need it.

Investment

Who says you can't make money without trying? Real estate is a great investment and a new home is the best way to take advantage of that. A new home in a developing area is almost guaranteed to appreciate in value with little or no effort from the homeowner. A resale home forces you to upgrade to make any profit on your home and depending on the neighborhood the return may not be worth what you put into it. Buying new, especially at the preconstruction phase ensures you instant equity. Not only does this put money into your pocket, it helps your credit and your borrowing power. A home is the largest investment most people will make in their lives. Why not make it a sound investment with a new home?

Personalization

Hate the color of the carpet in your living room? Wishing you had an eat-in kitchen? One of the best things about buying a new home is that everything is done the way you want it. There will be no more wondering when you can afford to replace the old linoleum in the kitchen with quality hardwood floors. Want granite countertops and oak cabinets? New homebuilders do that for you. Buying a new home is the only way to assure yourself you'll get a completely personalized, up to date home. The luxury amenities you want are included in the sales price of a new home. That means you can spread the cost over the life of your loan, and get a home with everything you deserve.

Security

Do you stay up at night worrying about something going wrong in your house and the costs associated with it? Who will be there to help if something breaks? Will the plumber overcharge you or provide shoddy work? In the home building industry often the only thing that a builder has is its reputation. The most important thing to a new homebuilder is referral business and for this reason they stake their reputation on every new home they build. Warranties cover almost everything on a new home so no matter what happens the builder is still there to help even if it is eight months after closing. Try getting that kind of guarantee from a resale home!
