Why Buy a New Home Over a Resale Home?

The benefits of buying a newly built home are many and multiplying every day. 

More advanced technologies and a better insight into the home shopper allow for the construction of homes that are not only designed for the wayyou live, but are also better constructed and more energy efficient,  all of which can save you both time and money in the long run. ​

Low cost ownership

A newly built home is built with 100 percent new parts. This means you’ll get a home made from materials and outfitted with appliances that are in tip-top shape and won’t need repairs for many years to come. 

At Lokal Homes we like to take this a step further by offering our 2-10 Homebuyer’s Warranty which includes 1 year coverage of workmanship and materials, 2 year coverage of all home systems and 10 year coverage on any structural defects and load-bearing components.

Time

Another way in which you can save with a newly built home, is with your time. 

Perhaps one of the most exciting new home advantages is what known as options selection; or the ability to choose such features and fixtures as your flooring, countertops, lighting, cabinets and other design details. 

Being able to pick out these features while your home is under construction means that you will be able to 
move into your dream home immediately upon completion, and you won’t have to undergo costly renovation to achieve your home’s dream look. 

At Lokal Homes we’re a leader in home personalization, making it our mission to, encourage individuality without sacrificing quality product offerings.

Designed for living

​Newly built homes have the benefit of being built for today’s consumers. Old features like the dining room are in many cases being phased out. However, new features like open floor plans are being introduced to meet the demands of today’s lifestyle. 

At Lokal Homes we offer a large portfolio of plans so that you can choose the one that works best for you. We offer ranch-style homes, main floor master plans and two-story homes with customizable options and upgrades so that you can design your home to your exact needs. 

What’s more, Lokal Homes is uniquely equipped to build the perfect Colorado home, one that will withstand snowy winter and warm summers. Comprised of a team of local Denver resident with a collective 50 years of home building experience, the Lokal homes staff has an intimate understanding of the area’s unique needs.

Energy Efficiency

One of the most enjoyable new home benefits is increased energy efficiency, which can help you save on electricity bills, while also benefiting the environment. New technologies are helping to create products that are more and more energy efficient.

At Lokal Homes, we’re committed to providing you with a comfortable home with reduced utility costs, and so we’ve partnered with manufacturers that share our vision. Each of our homes comes equipped with a NEST Learning Thermostat, allowing you to schedule 

heating and cooling for only those times of the time when you are home, which can save you up to 20 percent on your utility bills. In addition to learning your schedule, the NEST can be controlled remotely from your phone in case you forget to turn off the A/C before leaving your house. 

But the NEST Learning Thermostat is just one energy efficient products you’ll discover with Lokal Homes. Other manufacturers including Thermatru Doors and Atrium Windows and Doors are also going the distance to ensure your home is operating at its most efficient.

​Quality construction

Quality construction is the glue that holds together the many benefits of a newly built home, ensuring that your home is built to withstand the elements and last for years to come. New technologies and better building methods have improved the construction process over the years, as have manufacturers like Boise Engineered Wood Products (a Lokal Homes’ partner), a company that specializes in the production of engineered wood products designed to be more cost-effective, to last longer and protect the environment. 

A new home may cost more than a resale home, but we find it makes home ownership much easier. In the long run, the extra money spent on your home will be made back with the savings in utilities and home repair.  If you are interested in buying a new home in the Denver area, view our communities and see where we build!
