There are many reasons that you should allow Affordable Florida Homes Inc to build you one of our high-quality custom homes. But did you know that by purchasing one of our newly constructed homes you could be saving a great deal of money?

It’s true! One thing that all Florida home buyers should consider is that building a new home can eliminate the messy and expensive realities of remodeling that come with an older existing home.

Building an Affordable Florida home is the most cost-effective choice

By building an Affordable Florida home, you are instantly alleviating several of the remodeling and repair worries that may come with an older existing home. And when it comes to homes, age really does matter. Unless you are purchasing a home for its historical significance, you are always better off buying a pre-construction or newly constructed Affordable Florida home.

With our homes, not only do you get a wealth of modern upgrades and safe, strong above hurricane code construction, you also earn an instant return on your investment in resale value alone. Nine times out of ten, newer homes are worth more money.

The hidden price of existing homes

Some older homes have not been updated with central heat and air conditioning, and even if they have these features, the units may need replacement. Many buyers will want to upgrade older central heat and air systems to more modern systems with higher energy efficiency. With utility bills soaring, who wants to pay more to heat and cool their home because their central unit is out of date?

If you build an Affordable Florida home, your new home will have a brand-new central air conditioning and heating system that conforms to the highest of energy efficiency standards. So not only are you saving money on the cost of upgrading an aging central air and heating unit, our solid concrete construction combines with the latest energy efficient appliances to save our home buyers a substantial amount of money on utility bills.

Eliminate the cost of upgrading old electrical systems

Speaking of adding central air and heating, home buyers must remember that an older home which doesn’t have central air and heat may have outdated electrical wiring and fuse boxes that will need to be updated before the central heating and cooling systems can be installed.

Older homes often need to be wired for cable and internet, plus there are fewer electrical outlets in each room. If you build an Affordable Florida home, you don’t have to worry about outdated electrical systems, lack of power outlets, and the added expense of having your home wired for cable and internet. Your newly constructed home will be fully up to date in all areas of the electrical and wiring systems.

Plumbing systems and bathroom features are another area that can rack up large remodeling bills. Installing new pipes, bathtubs, vanities, fixtures, and removing old linoleum flooring can get very messy as well. If you build a new Affordable Florida home, you will have modern plumbing systems, luxurious bathroom features and fixtures, and brand new tile floors.

Elements of Style

Older homes are often darker, with smaller rooms and a lack of closet space. Our home buyers are able to choose from an array of light, airy and spacious floor plans, all of which offer plenty of closet space. Older homes may have lead paint or garish paint colors that need to be redone (a messy project indeed). Not so with a brand new Affordable Florida home. There is no need to worry about lead paint exposure, and you get to choose your palette of high quality Sherwin-Williams paint colors.

Smaller kitchens that contain old, outdated appliances, cracked linoleum or tile flooring that may need replacement, fixtures that may be old and stained, and cabinetry that is either deteriorating due to age or inferior quality are all expensive remodeling projects that may be needed when you purchase an older existing home. If you build a new Affordable Florida home, your kitchen will be luxuriously appointed with all of the latest appliances, cabinetry and fixtures. Appliances are brand new and top of the line.

Building an Affordable Florida Home is the best way to buy in Florida

When you are deciding between building a new Affordable Florida home with a builder warranty and purchasing an existing home, don’t forget to calculate remodeling and/or repair costs into the price of an existing home. The time, money and hassle you save by building a new Florida home makes building new the best choice for today’s Florida home buyer.
