As custom green home builders in Flower Mound, we know people buy preowned homes every day. There’s nothing wrong with this at all, as long as you find a home that meets your family’s needs and makes you feel comfortable, perhaps even your dream home. That said, it isn’t often that someone else’s home that’s been lived in conforms to all of your desires and wishes for your own home. So, which is right for you if you’re moving to Flower Mound? We hope to help you answer this question with the information we’re sharing in this article.
A preowned home will no doubt have more charm and character than one that’s just been built if you tour it when furnished, however you’ll probably also find a few quirky or strange design elements that aren’t really what you would include if you were to build a custom home for your family. Different strokes for different folks!
On the plus side, when you buy a preowned home you’ll likely be able to negotiate more on price, because it is an older home that’s been lived in by someone else. This is where you really have to consider whether you are more concerned about how much money you invest in your family’s home, or how it meets your criteria and ideas of what you envision in a home for the future, and your satisfaction, enjoyment and comfort levels. Your home is where your family gathers every day and creates memories, so this is a really important factor to consider.
When you decide on a custom built home in Flower Mound, you enjoy knowing that every material and element of the home is brand spanking new, never used by others. You are the one who chooses flooring, color schemes, lighting, layout, cabinets, and other elements that bring the home together in a way that your family will find functional, comfortable and beautiful for years to come. Even the “new” smells are inviting – clean, fresh, no odors left behind by previous owners.
Naturally you will pay more for a new custom built home in Flower Mound than a preowned home. Just as with cars, homes sustain wear and tear over time. With a preowned home you may be facing a roof replacement or spending money on the plumbing or HVAC system in the near future, something you won’t face with a newly constructed home. You wouldn’t expect to pay the same amount for an 8-year-old vehicle as you would a new one!
There are countless preowned Flower Mound homes on the market that are likely someone’s future dream home. People buy other people’s homes every day, nothing unusual about that at all. However, if you decide a new custom home is a better choice for you, give Bud Bartley Homes a call today. Our passion is helping homeowners realize their dreams!
