New home versus resale: 5 things to consider before buying

October 24, 2012

Are you struggling with determining whether to buy a new home or go with a resale? The shift in the economy has created a shift in home buying, so there are more advantages now than ever to consider a new home.

  1. Energy efficiency is built in. Rather than retrofitting an existing home to incorporate energy savings—like quadruple-paned windows, heating and cooling systems, and insulation—you build smart, right from the start.
  2. Save on home repair. Moving into a new home means no existing wear and tear. You won’t be looking at replacing your roof or carpeting, painting the exterior, or updating your kitchen or bathrooms.
  3. You’re covered by warranty. Your new home and its contents–including appliances, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and roof—are covered under warranty. Consider the cost of replacing any of these items when calculating the true cost of buying a resale.
  4. Get what you want. Do you want a larger kitchen? Maybe it would be great to have a first-floor owners suite. A buyer of a resale rarely finds the perfect home. Rather than compromising your dream, work with a custom home builder to adapt the floor plan to your desires, and not the other way around.
  5. Reduce your home maintenance. Today’s new homes are built with the busy homeowner in mind. Materials like composite products require minimal care while still looking great.

When you add up all the advantages that come with buying a new home, a resale just can’t compare. If you want more reasons, contact us at Stylecraft Builders.

Stylecraft Builders + USDA Loan = New Home for You

October 10, 2012

If you’re considering buying a new home and a rural area is on your radar, you might be able to take advantage of a USDA mortgage that requires no money down! The USDA is encouraging homeowners to live in rural regions of the country with this 100% financing mortgage program.

In 2009, the USDA closed on $16 billion in rural home loans. These mortgages are not just for farms or farmers. The program is applicable for specific counties and zip codes outside of metropolitan areas, and approval is based on current income, credit history, and the number of dependents you claim on your taxes. You do not need to have served in the military. Click here to see if you qualify for a USDA home loan.

Stylecraft Builders has a few Texas communities that qualify geographically for the USDA home loan:

With the USDA home loan and our $500 Move-In Program, you could move into a brand new home in one of these growing communities with just $500. Imagine the comfort, luxury, and value of living in a new home—not a fixer-upper—with brand new appliances, exceptional details and craftsmanship, and a desirable location. With Stylecraft Builder’s $500 Move-In Program and a no-money-down USDA home loan, you can be living your dream instead of waiting for the day when you have the down payment! Contact us for more details and to learn about immediately available homes and your custom options on new construction.
