Why Buy New?

People are starting to live in their homes for longer periods of time than in the recent past. They no longer change homes with every life cycle change. The practical realities of home ownership point to a new awareness of issues like energy efficiency, long term livability, flexibility and costs of ownership and operation, versus merely considering the purchase price of their next residence.

We have compiled some ideas below which we feel may be helpful in weighing your options. For additional information, please contact your Ruhl&Ruhl agent or our Customer Service Department.

• Resale - New homes typically resell more quickly and at higher comparative values because of the perception of the need for fewer repairs and updates.
  
  
• Cost of Ownership – Typically fewer repairs, updates, and lower utility costs.
  
  
• Quality of Construction – Modern designs, construction materials and techniques help create homes that are more livable, more Earth friendly and more cost effective to own and operate.
  
  
• Livability - modern room layouts and better outdoor/indoor space integration allow full home functionality in a smaller amount of square footage, and place emphasis on modern, rather than outdated, usage of space in the home. You are paying for space you can use.
