If you’ve been thinking about moving you know that the inventory of homes is at an all time low. One of the benefits of building a new home is that you don’t need to worry about someone snatching up your new home. It’s already yours. Now that spring is here, many people are thinking about moving. Many families are looking for homes that have more space while some families are more interested in downsizing.  Now is the time of year when people think about building their own home, especially with inventories so depleted.

Of course it’s no surprise to learn that more people would prefer a new home over an existing home. Availability is just one of the many benefits of building your own new home in Omaha.

Benefits of Building A New Home

Location – By choosing to build your own home you aren’t limited to locations of already built homes. You can purchase a lot and build on it or find a development you like and contract with the builder to build a home there.

Customization – No matter what your budget, you will have some influence over the home that you’re building. From something as simple as choosing the paint color to all out designing a custom home, your home will be just that – yours. It will be designed with the way you live in mind. You don’t fit your life around your home, the home is designed based on your needs.

Modernization – If you’ve lived in an older home you know what a challenge it can be to operate today’s technology. In an older home you’re going to have cables and wires running outside the walls just to use computers, printers, cell phones. Today’s new homes are built with today’s technology in mind so outlets are often equipped with USB ports for charging all kinds of devices. Charging stations are common and homes are set up with WiFi in mind. In a new home, extension cords are virtually unnecessary.

Energy Efficiency – Newly built homes are built with the newest construction materials which tend to be more energy efficient. Additionally, new homes can be constructed with solar panels, in floor heating and even geothermal systems if within your budget. A new home is more energy efficient and that saves you money.

Design Elements – Today’s new homes feature design elements that families and individuals are looking for – open floor plans, eat in kitchens, sport courts and media rooms are just some of the design elements you won’t find in a 20 year or 100 year old home.

These are just some of the benefits of building your own home. The satisfaction of knowing the home you live in has been built specifically for you is also an added bonus.
