Decision Time: Buy an Existing Home or Build a New One?

by ROB HASTINGS on FEBRUARY 24, 2019

As real estate agents, we have worked with some future homeowners who are unsure if they want to purchase an existing home or build a new one.

They consider things such as....

"Do I want to walk on carpet where someone else has clipped their toenails?"

or...

"Building a new home is stressful, and I can't wait 6 months to move in."

Okay, maybe the first one is a little extreme. But we heard a buyer say that once!

Bottom line, as real estate agents, we can help you find either an existing home or a locate a community and builder for a new home. Regardless, we just want to ensure that you are in your DREAM HOME, whether that's an existing one or new.
