Why Buy New?

Buying a brand new home is an exciting time in your life. Imagine yourself being the first to cook in your new gourmet kitchen, or taking a bubble bath in your new jetted whirlpool tub. Imagine the pleasures of running your toes over clean, new carpeting, or choosing all of the colors and finishes for your new home yourself. When purchasing a new home in comparison to a pre-owned home, you can enjoy these luxuries as well as the wonderful security of knowing that there will be no unexpected problems from broken appliances, and you will be saving money with new energy efficient technology. There are many advantages to owning a new home, and hopefully after reviewing the following information you will agree that purchasing a new home versus a pre-owned home is the way to make your imagination become a reality.

Pre-owned Homes Will Cost You More

Have you ever had an air conditioner give out in the middle of summer? Or how about entertaining the family for Thanksgiving dinner in a kitchen with appliances that look like they are from the 1950's? Moving into a pre-owned home can be filled with headaches and unexpected expenses such as replacing old carpeting, broken appliances, repairing air conditioning units, fixing water heaters, roof replacement, and many other expensive items that need repair and replacement when they get old. When buying a new home you can look forward to low maintenance and reliable products without the hassle and expense of break downs.

Energy Savings

Our energy efficient choices will save you about half of your energy bill without sacrificing features, style or comfort. This will free up money that you can spend on a family vacation, hobbies, or other activities, and it will help protect our environment. It is a priority at Skobel Development to make our homes the most energy efficient possible. Some of our features that will not be found in a pre-owned home, but will be included in your new home are a tankless water heater, modern air conditioner, vinyl double paned low-e windows, and energy efficient insulation. Most pre-owned homes are not equipped nor constructed with energy saving technologies and products, and tend to have very inefficient air conditioning systems with leaking duct work, inefficient water heaters, sub-standard insulation, and lack many of the modern features of an energy efficient Skobel Development home.

Better Health

New homes offer health advantages as well. Your new home will include asbestos free shingles, floor tiles, ceilings and insulation, as well as lead free paint. We also use improved building materials such as formaldehyde emissions free wood, and the ventilation system that we install includes a fresh air supply from the exterior, and positive pressure to ensure no unwanted air leakage. Most of these products are new to the market and can not be found in pre-owned homes.

Warranty

After purchasing your new home, you can rest assured knowing that we support our product 100%. All of our homes sold have a one year limited warranty and a 10 year structural warranty. We also give tips for proper home maintenance and how best to care for your home. If you have any additional problems, remember that Skobel Development is just a phone call away.

Custom Styles You Can Choose

Repainting and replacing old carpeting can be a pain, and old appliances and out-of-date kitchens are frustrating. When purchasing a new home, we give you an opportunity to customize your home with the variety of finishing and options that fulfill your desires from the beginning. We feel that the granite colors, types of flooring, paint colors, and cabinet woods should be a true reflection of your style. Each of these features is installed under warranty and the cost can be included in the mortgage, allowing options to be more affordable.

Innovative Designs

Over the years home designs have evolved to compliment our changing lifestyles and tastes. We have made it a priority to ensure that our home designs are continually updated to keep up with the current trends. If you were to buy a pre-owned home, the home may not include many of the design features you are looking for, such as great rooms, open kitchens, master bedroom suites, and walk in closets. Not to mention that remodeling a home can be problematic and costly.
