As far as brand new homes are concerned, the advantages are numerous. You are able to customize the home to your liking. You can make it more spacious, add certain features, and benefit from brand new energy-efficient appliances as well. However, all those upgrades can send the price through the roof. Another thing to know is that in Eugene, all of the prime building sites were taken years ago. If you build a new home around here, it will have to be on the outskirts of the city. Also, with the recent devastation in California, Texas, and Florida, it’s inevitable that building costs are going to rise—just another thing to keep in mind.
I wanted to quickly mention one more thing. If you’re a client of mine, don’t forget that our annual pie day is coming up on November 20th. Give me a call or send me an email to get your pie reserved.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, you may be having a tough time deciding between buying an existing home or buying/building a new one. Of course, your budget is always the big player in this, but for the sake of the argument, let’s say you have the ability to do either.
Some of the pros of buying an existing home include the fact that you already know what the home looks like, what the neighborhood looks like, as well as what you can and can’t change about the home. If you want to know exactly what you're getting going in, this is a good option.
However, there are some disadvantages to buying a home on the resale market. These include higher utility costs because of less efficient appliances. There will be additional maintenance costs from time to time as well that you probably wouldn’t see in a brand new home.
