Think about it, if everything in the house is brand new, it won\u2019t have the wear and tear you may see in an existing home \u2013 and that means it\u2019s less likely to need repairs. As <em>LendingTree<\/em> says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cSince the systems, appliances, roof and foundation are new, you\u2019re less likely to pay for major or minor repairs within the first few years of homeownership. <\/em><strong><em>That can make a big difference for first-time homebuyers who are adjusting to owning rather than renting<\/em><\/strong><em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Plus, many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2024\/05\/03\/builders-are-building-smaller-homes-infographic-1\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">builders<\/a> also have warranties on their homes that would cover some of the more major expenses that could pop up. As <em>First American<\/em> explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<\/em><strong><em>The new systems in your home, like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, are typically covered for one to two years by your builder\u2019s warranty. <\/em><\/strong><em>When something happens to these systems, you contact the builder or their warranty company.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>Existing Homes Can Still Have Great Perks <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>But it\u2019s worth mentioning, that it\u2019s not just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2024\/04\/03\/newly-built-homes-could-be-a-game-changer-this-spring\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">newly built homes<\/a> that can have warranties. It\u2019s an option for existing homes too.<\/p>\n<p>Your agent may be able to help you negotiate with the seller to add one as a concession on your contract. But you should know that not all sellers will be willing to do that. If they won\u2019t, you could purchase one yourself, if you\u2019d like to. An article from <em>Forbes <\/em>explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<\/em><strong><em>During a real estate transaction, a home warranty policy can be purchased by the buyer or the seller<\/em><\/strong><em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And there are benefits for both parties when it comes to a home warranty. According to <em>MarketWatch:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cA buyer\u2019s home warranty benefits both buyers and sellers, as it helps the seller close the deal while <\/em><strong><em>providing the future homeowner with peace of mind that they\u2019ll be covered if a system or appliance breaks down<\/em><\/strong><em> . . . <\/em><strong><em>Sometimes, a seller will pay for the first year of the home buyer\u2019s warranty to sweeten the deal, but it depends on the real estate market.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in a home warranty for peace of mind, lean on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2024\/04\/09\/the-top-5-reasons-you-need-a-real-estate-agent-when-buying-a-home\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">your agent<\/a>.

The quirks that come with an older home may make it feel more homey. And, existing homes usually have more developed landscaping and a well-established sense of community. So, it can feel more inviting than something that\u2019s a blank slate, like new construction often is. Not to mention, if you go with new construction, you may have to wait for the home to finish being built based on where it is in the process. It all depends on what\u2019s most important to you.<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you choose a newly built or an existing home, you may be able to ease some of your concerns over maintenance with a home warranty.
