5 reasons why you should build vs buy
Have you ever wanted to build but you think buying would just be easier? Think about it… all those earthquakes and dodgy repairs, maintenance due on the house. How well insulated is an existing house anyway?
Guess what?! By reading the following, you will have an insight into reasons to build.
Here is a list of reasons
- You get to style your home your way – the number of bedrooms, the colours and the size that suits you perfectly. There are no dirty renovations to be done over a number of months which may never get finished.
- There is no uncertainty around if your home has been repaired after the earthquakes. Your new build will be solid from the foundations to the roof!
- There is very minimal maintenance on a new home and if the maintenance is kept in check, there will be no hidden surprises. On an existing house there will be maintenance due soon for something – whether it be the roof repairs or windows to re paint, it is an endless battle that could cost you more after you move in.
- Most of our builds see an increase in value from what they pay as soon as they move in! that means you make money and who doesn’t like that? In some cases, it has been up to $70,000! If you buy an existing house it you have usually already payed top dollar and you have to wait and see what the market does after that to see if you have an increase in value.
- You have the satisfaction of designing your home specifically built for you, so it has your taste. There is a real sense of accomplishment when you can stand back and look at your new Fortified home and be proud of what you have achieved. Could you say the same for an existing house that you buy??
These are but just a few in a long list of positives for building. Personal styling, sound construction, minimal maintenance, increase in value and satisfaction are all very worthy reasons to build a new
home. Do they sound like good enough reasons for you?
