Why Buy A New Home? [click to expand]
There are many reasons to choose new construction over re-sale. For one, buyers have so many choices when it comes to new construction. You can choose your exterior elevation, stone, stucco, concrete layouts, etc. Then once you come inside the home the options are endless. Floor plans can be changed to meet your exact needs as well as all the interior design aspects. Another huge reason to choose new construction is the quality. As a builder we are required to follow very strict guidelines as far as quality, energy efficiency and performance. All of those quality standards translate to a well built house.
A third reason is the home warranty that is given to new construction homes. As a local builder we stand behind our product 100%. We offer an extensive fit and finish warranty for the entire first year that you live there. After that most of the products used in the home have 5-25year warranties.
A final reason through 2010 is the new construction tax credit. This is a $10,000 credit for purchasing a new construction home in the state of California. By purchasing a new construction home you are helping to stimulate the economy which you are in turn rewarded for.

If you're after a quick response to your offer, a new home is a smart way to go. In most cases, you're dealing directly with the builder, which ensures a prompt reply. We understand that buyers may be looking to move into something right away and we are always starting new homes in anticipation of that. With John Balfanz Homes getting an answer back is as easy as making a quick phone call. Communication is a huge priority for us and we know you want a timely response.
Of course, the ultimate benefit of buying new is having the opportunity to purchase your dream home. You are the first owner and everything is pristine, sparkling, and brand new. You will be able to customize the home, selecting items like cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. Rather than making due with someone else's choices, you have the advantage of living in a home and a neighborhood that truly reflects your taste, lifestyle and personality.
