New resident or seasoned citizen, you need a forever home.

While you can find plenty of gently loved homes in town, have you looked at brand new houses? You’ll enjoy a range of perks when you choose new construction.

Check out a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you move into a newly built home in Kalispell, Montana.

There Is No Place Like a New Home

Dorothy knew it and so do you. There’s no place like home, especially when it’s brand new.

Who doesn’t love owning something new? Something no one else has worn, driven, or in this case, lived in. 

The minute you move into a new home, you begin the bonding process. If you selected the finishes, you’re already emotionally invested. If not, once you start moving your family and your belongs in, you’ll bond even more with the house.

Your home should be a place designed with your needs in mind. It should instill a sense of belonging. Newly constructed homes do both.

A Floor Plan You Will Love

Talking about design, new construction homes have several floorplans.

Layouts aren’t dark and maze-like—something often found in existing homes. The moment you walk through the front door of a newly built home, you’re welcomed by bright, natural light. New homes also often feature open floor plans and tall ceilings. 

Buying new means you won’t walk into your new home already calculating how you can move walls, change paint colors, or fix DIY projects gone bad.

Living in a Community

It’s not that you don’t live in a community when you buy an existing home, but when you buy in a master-planned community, you’re moving into an expertly designed mini-town. You’ll enjoy an array of amenities sometimes not found in an older neighborhood.

People who choose new construction, depending on the community where they purchase their home, buy a lifestyle.

The lifestyle enjoyed by residents of planned communities include amenities like new parks and community spaces. Schools, banks, markets, and other conveniences are usually also near-by.

Planned communities encourage people to get to know each other. Often a community will even plan social events. What better place to build new friendships than a community in Kalispell?

The Joy of Modern Convenience

Buying a new home means you get all new appliances and home systems. You’ll enjoy standard conveniences such as the latest refrigerators, cooking appliances, and dishwashers. Some homes even come with extras like wine coolers.

Newly built homes usually feature spacious master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Some come with workouts spaces, media rooms, and home office areas.

Buyers also often enjoy the benefits of Smart Home technology with high-speed internet built into their new home.

No outdated services or leaky dishwashers in brand new houses.

You Can Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

New home builders use a range of innovations to make homes more energy-efficient. Areas where builders can optimize a home for energy efficiency include:

• Heating and Colling
• Appliances
• Insulation

In new construction homes, you’ll often find energy-efficient windows and doors. Using energy-efficient windows which can keep your energy bills low. Builders also help homeowners reduce their carbon footprint is by installing smart thermostats, LED lighting, and dual flush toilets.

Brand New Houses Need Less Maintenance

Wait! We didn’t say no maintenance, but your newly built home should require less maintenance than an older home.

The modern appliances, heating, and cooling system, and modern plumbing we mentioned earlier should let you live in your home worry-free for at least the next several years. New HVAC systems, water heaters, and roofs mean you shouldn’t need to replace most major systems for 10-20 years.

Builders design new construction homes to require less maintenance than an existing home. If you take care of it with routine maintenance, you’ll have less unexpected repairs and expenses for a brand new home than the one already built.

You May Qualify for Builder Promos

Buying new often means you qualify for a builder’s promotions.

Promotions depend on the builder and how much a spends on a home. For example, some builders offer a certain dollar amount in upgrades when a buyer spends above a certain price. Builders also may run a promotion where they help pay some of your closing costs.

Promotions are usually in place for a limited time, so make sure you ask when you tour the new development.
