New Homes vs. Resale

10 Secrets Every New Home Buyer
Should Know

Although most homes for sale are resales, one out of four homebuyers purchases a new home. Which is better: new homes vs. resale?

The right answer, of course, is up to you. Both resales and new homes offer advantages. Existing homes are less expensive on average, and are generally closer to, and enjoy the warmth and surroundings of, established neighborhoods. New homes, on the other hand, offer innovative use of space, modern energy efficiency, and choices of options and upgrades. What’s more, everything is new – even the neighbors.

The choice that’s right for you depends on many things: your finances, your family composition, and your taste. The fact of the matter is, most buyers consider both new and resale homes before they decide.

A new special report has just been released which identifies 10 secrets every new home buyer should know, including little-known buyer advantages that most builders won’t divulge unless pressed.

“I contacted Ruben Muro to sell my Corona investment home and my experience with him and his team was nothing short of excellent. He made the experience smooth and painless. … The home needed a bit of work before we could put it onto the market and Ruben handled everything. He had the landscaper, cleaners, painter, carpet installer, appliance repair man and handyman. When I say Ruben handled everything I mean it, I live out of state and never had to visit the property. Ruben scheduled everyone and made sure the work was done to high standards. He created a schedule for everything and everything happened according to that schedule. In just a few days after the 1 and only open house we had 3 offers with 2 over the asking price. What I really appreciated about Ruben was from the beginning he laid out a plan to sell my home and I never had to ask him for an update – he always texted, emailed or called me with updates. I would definitely use him again.” Read More ▾
