Here are the top eight reasons buyers choose a new construction home.
1. Price.
Hands-down, the number one reason both first-time and repeat home buyers choose new construction is affordability.
2. Location, location, location.

Better indoor air quality than older, used homes means your family will be healthier. Warranties protect you from the get-go. With less routine maintenance to do, you’ll have more free time
4. Customization.
The ability to customize the new home right off the bat is a top attraction. You’re not just buying a home, you’re buying a lifestyle.
5. Bling.
