Should you buy a new San Antonio home or an existing one?
There are some wonderful new San Antonio homes out there if you’re interested in getting your hands on a bargain from the local and national home builders. Many San Antonio custom home builders are very motivated to make deals with buyers, especially if the buyer has obtained a buyer’s agent who knows the deals and can vigorously represent the buyer.
Buying a home when it’s newly built makes a lot of sense for many young famiies buying a home, as opposed to buying a used home that has the potential for costing a lot of money with repairs and a long to-do list after closing. With a new home purchase, buyers report a higher rate of satisfaction with their home purchase than those who buy previously owned homes. Why? There are several reasons.
Buy a new house to reduce your risk
When you buy a new home, there is frequently less risk of getting burned by unexpected expenses because you are purchasing from a reputable company with many other homes and communities in most cases. In fact, all you have to do to gauge buyer satisfaction is walk down the street and talk to other residents. You’ll easily discover the the builder’s reputation, and (hopefully), the level of confidence you can have that you’re getting a quality home. If you don’t want to have to worry about a hidden repair you might need to deal with later, do yourself a favor–buy a new home.
You’ll have less hassle with a new home
If you don’t want to have to deal with common things like repairing leaky roofs, repainting walls, and waiting for a contingency clause to pan out (believe me, that can take awhile and is a major deal-killer), then you really have to consider purchasing a new home rather than a pre-existing one. Because the builder has been through the process before, chances are good the sale will go effortlessly. However, with private party transactions, you are much more likely to have painful delays and mistakes along the way to your closing.
Fortunately, you can avoid all that by investing in a new San Antonio home instead.
