August Northern VA Real Estate Market Statistics




 Which is better, a new house or an older one?

 
When choosing between purchasing a newly built home and an older one, know that there isn’t a “right” or “wrong” answer. Choosing new or old may be more about understanding what you want. Here are some points to consider.

Older homes tend to be closer to downtown amenities, like restaurants and entertainment. They’re usually in established neighborhoods with mature trees and large backyards. But older houses can be expensive to maintain, and may have small rooms with little storage space.

Newer homes typically offer larger rooms, trendy finishes and usually require less maintenance. But new builds are often farther away from the excitement of downtown living. Commuting may also take longer and cost more.

Your real estate agent can help, but it comes down to one thing: Old or new, the home that feels right for your family is the one to buy.
