have researched the market and negotiated the best rates
for their specific type of housing. Many homebuilders
now include closing costs in the price of their homes.

on the home itself and most likely five years on major
appliances, including air conditioning and heating systems.

to a full ten years. underwritten by insurance companies.

and homebuilders are able to offer the latest state-of-the-art
equipment at the time of completing a new home. And,

of new homes, his purchasing power can reduce the cost
to the buyer.

Low maintenance is one of the most important features
of the new homes being built today. New technology in
building materials has made the homes of the 1990's
virtually maintenance-free, especially on the exterior.
No longer does a homeowner have to worry about painting
every 3-5 years.

selections and not be restricted by the taste of previous
owners.

energy codes than homes built in the past when codes
didn't exist or were much more lenient. Many homebuilders
use materials that are designed to exceed the strict
limits to produce future savings for the Owner.

life-span. Daily use, weather and quality of care all

nagging questions of How long before it breaks down?"

longer period.

neighbors in generally similar circumstances. Often
with pre-owned homes in established neighborhoods, the
homebuyers may find themselves in a difficult position
as the new kids on the block, unable to quickly fit
in to social situations.
(12) VALUE APPRECIATION
Statistics say that the typical home will need remodeling
after a life expectancy of 25-3O years. Since new homes
have an assured longer life, appraisals will be generally
higher than on comparable existing homes, making conditions
more favorable for future resales at appreciated prices.
