Build From the Ground Up

Posted on Friday, March 12, 2021

If you’ve been spending the weekends touring pre-owned home after pre-owned home trying to find a perfect fit but only finding disappointment, we have a solution. Build from the ground up. There are a number of advantages to purchasing a new-build home in Sierra Vista, not the least of which is the ability to get the home of your dreams.

Affordable Customization

Building your home from the ground up means buying a home that fits your needs, not trying to shoehorn your family into a home that will work once you’ve done some remodeling. Sierra Vista builders offer multiple floor plans that can be further customized so you can turn a bedroom you don’t need into the home office you do.

You Choose the Colors

When you purchase a new construction home, you get to choose the paint colors, cabinetry, floors and light fixtures. Most builders offer a menu of standard options based on the latest home design trends. You can choose to upgrade these at the builders’ design center. Either way, your home reflects your design aesthetic, not the previous owner’s.

You Are the First Owner

There’s something to be said for being the first. Everything in your new-build home will be new, so everything will be clean and spotless. You also won’t have to invest in replacing stained bathtubs, lime-green appliances or a cracked patio.

Your Energy Bills Will be Lower

New homes are, on average, 20 percent more energy efficient than homes built 10 years ago. Why? New green energy standards incentivize builders to use higher-efficiency insulation, doors and windows as well as Energy Star appliances. All of which will reduce your energy bills.

It’s All New

Even a remodeled pre-owned home will probably have aging pipes, HVAC systems and roofs. All of these will need repairs sooner than will comparable items in a new construction home.

It’s Under Warranty                                         

As a general rule, builders offer one-year warranties on workmanship and materials, two-year warranties on all mechanical work including the HVAC systems and a 10-year structural warranty. Which means if something breaks, it’s often covered.

It’s Probably in a New Community

Most new-build homes are sold in master-planned communities like Sierra Vista. That means you will have access to some great amenities. It also means that everyone in the neighborhood is new, so making friends is easier.
