If you are considering purchasing a new home in Anoka over an existing home it is important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

The major advantage to buying an Anoka new home over an existing home is that new homes come with a warranty!

It is great having the peace of mind that if something becomes defective in your new home, it is covered!

As a buyer, the major disadvantage of purchasing a new home over an existing one is you typically have to pay a premium price for it. With rising land costs, it is near impossible for builders to offer new homes for the price of existing homes. Another disadvantage to buying a new house is that builders will take an upfront deposit to start construction. It is difficult for many buyers to start paying for a home before seeing the finished product! When buying a resale home you have the distinct advantage of inspecting the home prior to purchasing it!
