When any family is looking at a Big Sky builder home, they are confronted with an important decision that is should they create a new home or buy a preexisting home. There are a few things which should be thought about before buying or building in Big Sky.
Among the first things to consider is the design and the layout. Newer Big Sky homes usually have bigger rooms, more closets, and more bathrooms.
Building a new home can allow flexibility in layout and finish selections so you can get just what you want. Building a new Big Sky home can allow walk in closets and extra bathrooms. An existing home is just what the previous owner designed for themselves, it may not be what you would like however this can be all changed . But to renovate could be an expensive job and also upgrades may be expensive.
An existing Big Sky home can be cheaper to buy, but in the long run they will usually require more maintenance which will increase the overall cost.
New homes should not need any repairs for some years down the road.
For instance wood siding is popular but is certainly not maintenance free and requires new stain application every 2-3 years depending on your sun exposure.
However a price negotiation can be done with an existing home.
Most existing properties have been selling for 20-30% less than the asking price in 2010.
Buying a new home will mean better insulation, more efficient windows, and a more efficient radiant heating system.
An existing homes use more power, have older windows, and they are less energy efficient.
Existing Big Sky homes are not as safe as newer homes this is because new construction offers the latest fire alarms, seismic engineering and environmentally friendly finishes
. Existing homes may need to have these updates made and in turn it would be another expense.
It is one of the biggest expenses most people will ever make to buy a Big Sky home.
It will make everything easier if you create a list of everything you are seeking in a home.
By doing this it will help you make the choice that is right for your family and your new Big Sky Builder Home.
