Any part of the home-owning journey is exciting, but also difficult. Most homeowners spend plenty of time before settling on a house to purchase, or choosing the perfect design to invest in a home build Vancouver.
So many elements factor into this decision. Things like location, features and benefits, size, price and property taxes are all important aspects to note before signing any contracts. Besides this, a wish list of everything you need should be considered, and this is usually where people begin to think that maybe building a house from scratch might be the better route.
Each option has its own list of pros and cons, so it’s important to be clear before starting to shop for a home or a contractor.
Buying a Home
There are many advantages that factor in buying a home that already exists. It’s convenient, it’s usually cheaper, and you don’t have to spend any extra money renovating parts of the home that you don’t like.
The same way a contractor helps you with a new build, a real estate agent will help streamline the home purchasing process by guiding you throughout the journey. They will negotiate prices on your behalf, ensure all paperwork is properly completed and the home is inspected prior to you moving in.
Although it’s quite a complex process, moving into an already-built home is highly convenient. On the other hand, it’s not as custom-tailored of an approach when compared to building your own space from scratch.
Building Your Very Own Custom, Dream Home
Although building your own home doesn’t offer the same conveniences as moving into something that’s live-in ready, you cannot go wrong with having a place that’s entirely up to your every requirement. You get to choose every element of the build and be a part of a house that will serve your family for generations to come.
- Energy Efficiency: You get to create an efficient home that meets the newest energy codes, heating, cooling and ventilation standards, as well as the very best in air filtration and insulation. This might be especially important for members of the family that have issues with dust, indoor air quality or asthma. This isn’t only a health-conscious option, but also one that will save you money on your utility bills every month.
- Health-Conscious: Purchasing an older home may be risky as some might contain toxic materials like lead paint, mould and asbestos. This not only puts your family at risk but becomes a time-consuming, costly problem to eliminate. When building a brand new structure you can rest assured that we use the highest quality materials that are safe, healthy for everyone from adults to little ones and up to the highest safety standards. We also utilize green, energy-star rated appliances.
- Satisfaction: Buying a home can’t possibly live up to the satisfaction and joy of building the perfect home that you’ve wanted all your life. A home that will grow old with you and be a place to create memories in with children, pets and family.
