APRIL IS NEW HOMES MONTH
Jay Bell President, Home Builders Association of Chattanooga
Whether you’re planting a new flowerbed or enjoying the new Lookouts season, spring is an opportunity for a fresh start. If you’re like many in the Tri-State area, spring is also the time to start planning for a new home – one that is perfect for your lifestyle.
During April, as the momentum of the home buying season grows, the home building industry in our area is celebrating New Homes Month and invites you to consider all the advantages of new home ownership.
Many buyers are seeking a new home that offers energy efficiency, spaciousness and warranties. They also want the freedom to select their favorite appliances, flooring, paint colors and other design elements to give their home a unique, personal touch. In addition to these advantages of buying a new home, there are many others to consider. Here are just a few:
Immediate Sense of Community
One of the built-in benefits of many new homes is the new neighborhood. When multiple families move into a newly built community at the same time, lasting bonds of friendship and neighborliness often form right away. Many home builders will host community block parties in these developments to help neighbors of all ages meet and connect.
Ample Space to Entertain
Older homes are often smaller and therefore more challenging spaces to host gatherings with friends and family. Today’s home builders are creating more open spaces with higher ceilings, larger windows and expansive great rooms for added convenience and modern living.
A Clean Slate
When moving into a new home, you won’t have to spend hours stripping wallpaper or painting over dated wall colors. There are no oil stains to remove in the garage, no windows to replace, no walls to be torn down. Everything is already just the way you want it.
Peace of Mind
Building standards have changed a great deal over the decades, almost as fast as technology has evolved.
New homes can accommodate today’s advanced technology and be customized to meet the individual home owner’s needs. And knowing that the home was built to the latest safety codes gives the owner added assurance.
