What are the Advantages of Building a New Home?

Wednesday, November 26th, 2014

If you’re thinking of moving, have you considered building your own new home instead of buying a home that’s already on the market? There are a number of advantages that come with building your own home that you won’t get if you buy a pre-existing home. Take a look at our list and see!

The Advantages of Building a New Home

New Homes are More Energy Efficient

As we learn more about designing homes with energy efficiency as a priority, we continually improve on previous generations of home building. Even homes that are relatively young can’t compare to the energy efficiency levels of homes built today. Today’s homes distribute conditioned air super efficiently, and come with brand new energy efficient appliances, all of which will save you on your energy costs. Over the lifetime of the home, this adds up.

A Place You Can Really Call Home

When you build your own home, it becomes a place that you can truly call your own. No one has lived in this home, and you built it from the ground up. There’s an intangible value there that many homeowners enjoy, as it makes them feel like they can really be at home.

Warranty

With a new home, you get the builders warranty as guarantee in the quality of the craftsmanship. If you have a problem with your home’s construction, the warranty helps you rectify the situation easily.

Higher Resale Value

The newer a home, the higher its resale value when you decide to sell. Of course there are plenty of exceptions to this rule, but buyers are generally willing to pay more for the efficiencies and conveniences of modern homes.

Why Should You Choose a Pre-Designed Custom Home in Maryland?

Friday, November 21st, 2014

Are you ready to build your new home in Maryland? Congratulations! Maryland is a great place to live, and building your own home on your own land is a very fulfilling and rewarding process. However, it’s also a very long process. Building a new home is not a short process. Before you can break ground, there’s a lot of work that has to be done. You have to find the right lot, buy the lot, design the house, get the right permits, and those are just a few of the steps.

Lifetime Series Homes can help you find the lot you’re looking for in Maryland with lot search assistance, saving you a lot of time in the process. Another area where we help you save time in building your new home is with the design phase. Designing a home from the ground up is an intensive process, and it takes time to get everything right. But what if you could choose from a number of homes that were already designed? You could find the design that fit your needs, and adjust it as necessary to make it the perfect home for you, saving you lots of time in the design process. With Lifetime Series Homes, you can do exactly this.

We offer 14 different custom templates that are complete designs of homes that are ready to be built. Instead of spending months designing the home, we can move right past the design phase and get to building faster. The designs can also be adjusted to suit. With custom home templates, you save time and money, and the end result is a home that’s ready faster.
