Sure, cabinets can be replaced - but the layout of an existing home can't be changed. One first time home buyer with a buyer's remorse told us recently, "I really, really wanted a first-floor owner's suite, but we just couldn't find a home that checked all of our boxes, so I had to settle. Looking back, I realize I could have had exactly what I wanted from the start with a new home." 2. A new construction home is all new, and under warranty. It's like Murphy's Law of homeownership: Move in, and within six months something will have to be replaced whether it's an HVAC unit, the roof, or your water heater...and who gets left with the bill? You, the homeowner. However - in a new home everything from the roof to the appliances are brand new with the latest features and designs - not to mention a warranty that should offer you years of comfort and enjoyment.
3. A new construction home means decreased energy costs and increased comfort. Homes built today are far more energy efficient than homes built even five years ago, having been built to meet strict energy standards and codes not in place in the past. This unique combination of high-performance energy efficiency, state-of-the-art HVAC equipment, and revolutionary green window technology helps keep the warm air in, and your money in your pocketbook. Stanley Martin has a commitment to green living and our homes are, on average, 53% or more efficient than resale homes and 39% or more efficient than other new homes - pretty savvy, eh?
