Check out the ways you can save money by buying a newer house instead of building a new one.

• The cost of materials: Over the last two years the cost of building materials have continued to rise. It hardly seems possible that buying a house just 2 years ago could make a major difference in price, but it has.

• Landscaping: A two-year-old house probably has already established landscaping, saving you the cost of hiring a landscaper or purchasing and planting new trees, shrubs, and flowers.

The house for sale at 920 Doolittle has 4 beds, 2 baths AND has 2 egress windows and is plumbed for another bath in the daylight window basement. You can create 2 more bedrooms and another bath, a huge family room and still have a great storage room and work room.

• Window Treatments: Many new houses come without window treatments like blinds or curtains. With a two-year-old house, these may already be installed, saving you the cost of purchasing and installing them yourself.

• Appliances: While brand-new houses sometime come with appliances, many times they don’t.

• Home Warranty: Builders typically offer a 1 year walk through after a new house is built. The walk through often ends up with a punch list of items that need tweaking or repairing. That can mean more workers hanging out at your house while they get things in ship shape. A 2 year old house has likely been put back into top shape already and you can just move in an starte enjoying it.

• Light Fixtures: While new homes often come with basic light fixtures, you may prefer to upgrade them. With a two-year-old house, the fixtures may already be upgraded or more to your liking, saving you the cost of replacement.

• Driveway and Walkways: The driveway and walkways of a two-year-old house are likely already installed and in good condition, whereas with new construction, you may have to pay for these to be installed, and you may have to live wit a mess while the cement work or asphalt are installed.

• Window Treatments: New homes typically do not have any window treatment hardware or window treatments installed. A two-year-old house, however is likely to have window coverings installed.

• Established Landscaping: Landscaping in a two-year-old house is likely established, reducing the need for extensive landscaping work compared to a newly constructed home.

• Mature Trees: A two-year-old house may have mature trees on the property, providing shade and enhancing the landscape, whereas newly constructed homes often lack mature trees.

• Gutters and Downspouts: These features may already be installed and properly functioning in a two-year-old house, whereas you may need to install them yourself in a new construction.

• Established Utility Services: Utility services such as water, electricity, and gas may already be established and connected in a two-year-old house, saving you the time and effort of arranging for these connections with new construction.

• Interior Paint: While new homes may come with basic paint finishes, a two-year-old house may already have customized paint colors or finishes that suit your preferences, saving you the cost of repainting.
