Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following:
1. New homes are usually built with the latest technology so you don't need to worry about the asbestos or lead based paints on your walls. These materials, which were extensively used in the past, have found to be great health hazards.
2. New homes also have the latest energy saving devices for heating, cooling and insulation, which mean lower energy bills for you.
3. New homes are also built with the newer gadgets in mind so usually provision have been made for your microwave, dishwashers, treadmills, home theatre systems etc both in floor space and in electrical outlets.
4. You don't need to worry about the maintenance of your roofing, ceiling and appliances for the first year or so.
5. You can decorate your home and do the landscaping according to your tastes and not be satisfied with somebody else's work.
6. No worries about older appliances breaking down, roofs leaking or old wiring needing replacement.
Disadvantages of owning a new home
1. Fully constructed new homes usually do not look the same as the model homes that your builder showed you. So don't be disappointed.
2. Prices of new homes usually start higher than an old home of the same size.
3. Usually the homes are priced at the bare bones level. To get upgrades like good carpets, better tiles and fittings you need to pay extra.
4. You need to furnish, buy appliances, add blinds etc for your new home.
5. New homes may be in underdeveloped areas where schools, transportation and shopping are not yet fully established.
6. Problems with building, construction may be detected only much later.
So now you know a little bit about realestate. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge.
