Brand new construction is in high demand these real estate days.  And while one of the biggest cons in buying brand new is price, one of the biggest pros are the peace of mind and flexibility that they offer, which can be incomparable. So, why buy brand new? We have 5 golden reasons that will have you checking off the ‘new construction’ box in your home search.

Have it Your Way

One of the most highly esteemed benefits of owning a brand new home is customization. Imagine having a say in the cabinets, flooring, carpets, light fixtures, etc. With new construction, not only can they be custom tailored to your style, they can be custom tailored to your budget. In older homes, this wouldn’t be the case since you would simply have no option other than to renovate or grow accustom to the décor.

All New and Under Warranty

Another pro to buying new is that the home is far less likely to need repairs, but if and when that does become an issue, there’s no need to fret since the home is under warranty and will cover you for years. Now, if this were a previously owned home, there would be a strong chance to guarantee that you would be responsible for 100% of the damage, leaving you to pay for the repairing.

The Green Factor

These days, contractors know that homeowners are more and more green conscious. It’s one of the biggest trends to blossom since shag carpeting and is one that is heavily considered and incorporated when building new homes. As a result, many new homes offer double- triple-pane windows, energy efficient appliances, energy-conserving, long-lasting LED lighting and more, all features that decrease the homeowner’s costs and carbon footprint.

Safety First

Safety is a concern for any homeowner, whether buying new or old. And while safety is at the top of the list, it can unfortunately be an expensive task in older homes. But, when buying a new home, you save yourself form this worry since these items are brand new and use the latest environmentally friendly components, allowing you and your family to feel safer and not worry about updating.

Pride in Homeownership

A brand new home means that you were the first to own it, to live in it, to make it your own. It gives the homeowner a sense of pride. After all, you’ve been here since day one, had your style incorporated into the home, and made it yours every day since then- all very special and unique to the brand new home buying process.

Shawnee Marketplace, an $18 million dollar retail development currently under construction on the southwest corner of Interstate 40 and Kickapoo Street, is only 6-7 miles from the entrance to American Country Estates! How exciting for our future homeowners, and for Shawnee!

Shawnee Marketplace will generate $35 million annually in retail sales in Shawnee, and create about 500 new retail jobs in the first five years, according to a study commissioned by the Shawnee Economic Development Foundation. The study estimated the development will generate an estimated $900,000 in new, annual sales tax revenue for Shawnee.

Plans for the project show national retailers such as Hobby Lobby, PetSmart, Ulta and TJ Maxx as tenants in the new development. Though a developer had eyed the plot for a retail development in 2008, the national economy tanked, causing new construction to come to a halt. Once the economy started to come back, Dallas-based retail developers Hunt Brothers came looking.  Shawnee city officials, Pottawatomie County officials, and the Commissioners of the Land Office agreed to a deal for the creation of a two-phase, 400,000-square-foot retail development on 23 acres of the 640-acre site.

Construction began in May on the first, 150,000-square-foot phase of Shawnee Marketplace, and the first retailers are expected to open in spring 2015.
