The Advantages of Buying New

Everything is New

Floors, walls, windows, hardware, appliances, paint; everything is fresh, bright, and brand new inside and out.

Everything is “Used”

They say the only thing that works in a used home is you. With a used home, you inherit somebody else’s problems.

You have a choice.

Select your location, floor plans, personal color choices, finishing touches, and options. You have the opportunity to make your home reflect your lifestyle.

You have to take what’s there.

You have to live with someone else's design and vision. And renovations can be disruptive and expensive.

You Realize the most Appreciation Upfront

“New” is financially beneficial; a home’s largest lifetime appreciation traditionally occurs within the first three to five years.

Appreciation is Out of Your Control

Appreciation fluctuates and is driven by location. A neighborhood of old homes traditionally sees less appreciation.

New Home Warranty Means Peace of Mind

Our work is guaranteed with a 1-year builder’s warranty plus extended structural and mechanical warranties for up to 10 years.*

(*Suburban Communities Only.)

No Warranty. Little Peace of Mind.

Without a builder warranty, you’re on your own. You'll be responsible for costly structural and mechanical issues when they arise.

You Save Money on Energy Costs

Cutting edge standards can save you a fair chunk of change on your energy bills compared to energy costs in most used homes.

Energy Costs? Unfashionably Steep.

Outdated standards result in significantly higher energy bills compared to costs in a new, energy-wise Lexington home.
