From all-new systems and appliances to flawless features and flexible design, a beautiful new home in a community you love makes life easier and more enjoyable every day. Take a look at the advantages of a new Dream Finders home vs. any used home you’ve seen before.
Price
Used: Competition from other potential buyers can force you to raise your bid price. Used homes in Northern Virginia are selling 1-2% above list price.
New: Purchase your new home at a set price, with no competition and zero stress — no more bidding wars!
Warranty Program
Used: Depending on its age, the home and everything in it are likely long past warranty coverage, so no warranties mean large repair bills
New: Invaluable peace of mind today, tomorrow, and down the line with a builder home warranty AND quality brand manufacturer warranties
Energy Efficiency
Used: Missing many of the energy-efficient features that you’re looking for today
New: Expertly built with energy-efficient features that respect the environment, keep you comfortable, and save you money on your energy bills
The Area
Used: An unfamiliar location or lot that you didn’t necessarily want or choose
New: A choice of new home communities in Northern Virginia (complete with the contemporary amenities you love, near everything you want and need) where you’ll create shared experiences and new friendships with neighbors just like you
As you compare new construction vs. resale, be sure to consider just how much a high-end home will enhance your daily routine. Aside from saving you money in the long run, a new Dream Finders Homes living space lets you live the happier, healthier lifestyle you want and deserve. In 2022, we’re saying “out with the old, in with the new”… there’s no better way to live your life.
