Why a New Home May be Better for Your Wellbeing

There may be a variety of reasons why you would consider a new home over a pre-existing one. Your reasons could range from the ability to customize your new home to match your lifestyle or living in a better neighborhood, or it could be the price point or the ability to be able to grow with your family. 

But, have you thought about the health and well-being aspects of living in a new home? If not, here are few motivations to help you in your decision to buy new: 

Safety 

Homebuyers often consider new over older homes because they understand the level of safety that new homes can provide. 

Incorporating features such as smart smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors provides peace of mind in a new home. Adding these items to an older home may be cost prohibitive, but with a new home, they are very often standard. 

In addition, with today’s smartphone technology you can interconnect your phone with outdoor lighting, security video and more for a built-in added safety level when you buy a new home. 

Healthy Atmosphere 

The air we breathe is an essential aspect of health and wellbeing, especially the atmosphere within your home. Older homes with seasoned HVAC systems can produce pollutants and significantly impact air quality. 

New homes are more tightly sealed than many older homes providing less of a chance of invasion of outside pollutants such as dust, mold, or pollen that create poor inside air quality. 

Better Building Standards 

New homes are required to meet current building codes, which have been designated specifically to protect your health and safety. 

An older home may be “grandfathered” into past residential building codes; while every new home is up to the standards used by states and municipalities today and must pass their most current inspections. 

New – There’s Nothing Else Like It!  

Most important, because everything is new, there won't be worries like older wiring that could be a fire hazard or mold that has formed for years behind the walls. Renovating or even remediating is replaced by decorating when you purchase new.
