Buying a New Construction Home Has Benefits Over Resale Properties
Old homes come with stories. New homes let you start yours. But they also let you skip the endless repairs, outdated systems, and unexpected costs that come with older properties. Studies show newer homes cost far less to maintain — just 3% of the home’s value per year, compared to 5% for older homes. That adds up fast, both in terms of finances and stress.
Buying a new construction home gives you more control over your time, your budget, and your peace of mind.
And with The Providence Group, every home includes a comprehensive 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and a one-year fit-and-finish guarantee, so your investment is protected long after move-in day.
When you compare the cost, care, and convenience, the benefits of buying new are hard to ignore.
Here’s how new construction outperforms resale in all the ways that matter most.
Modern Layouts with No Compromises
Today’s families want light-filled, open spaces that flow easily without knocking down walls or remodeling awkward rooms. Buying a new construction home gives you that from the start, while saving you from the costly updates older homes often require.
The median renovation cost in 2022 was $22,000. That’s an expense you avoid entirely with a house that’s already built for modern living.
Here’s what makes modern floorplans better:
- Open-concept kitchens that connect to living and dining areas
- More usable square footage and flexible spaces for work or play
- Higher ceilings, bigger closets, and smarter storage
And with The Providence Group, you’ll choose your finishes with experts at our award-winning Design Studio so your home reflects your taste, not someone else’s dated style.
Energy Efficiency That Lowers Your Bills
Homes built today are 30% more efficient than those built before 2014. That’s not a small improvement. That’s a lower utility bill, every single month.
Why pay for air you don’t feel or energy you don’t use? Our homes are built with intention so your comfort doesn’t come at the cost of efficiency.
Every home built by The Providence Group includes:
- Low-E windows that help regulate interior temps
- LP TechShield roof panels to block radiant heat
- 14 SEER HVAC systems for smarter airflow
- Energy Star appliances that work harder and cost less to run
More Value Per Square Foot
Many buyers assume buying a new construction home automatically means paying more. That’s not always the case. As of May 2024, new homes sold for $3.50 less per square foot than existing homes — the largest discount in over six years.
Beyond the price, new construction also offers more livable square footage. You’ll find open layouts, efficient flow, and better use of space (without the odd corners or chopped-up rooms that come with older homes).
When every inch is thoughtfully designed, you’re not just saving money. You’re investing in more functional living.
More Time for What Matters
Owning a home shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. One of the biggest benefits of buying a new construction home is how much time it gives back to you.
Many Providence Group communities include:
- HOA-managed lawn care
- Durable, low-maintenance exteriors
- Lock-and-leave convenience for travel or busy workweeks
With fewer chores and no surprise repairs, your new home becomes a source of peace, not pressure.
