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.
