New vs. Used?

Should you choose a new or used home? For numerous reasons, we believe that new homes hold value better than previously lived in homes. Our perspective.

New

 

Used

Your Style
Design a home to suit your lifestyle, personality and sense of style. Choose the lot, floor plan, and number of rooms that match your family's needs.

 

Their Style
You inherit the selections of the previous owner, designed for their lifestyle, not yours.

Long-Term Home Warranty
Should anything go wrong, a reputable building company stands behind every home it constructs with a warranty. With Visser, we provide you with several warranties, ranging from one-year coverage for materials and workmanship; two-year coverage for heating, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing systems; and a ten-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship in the structural elements of your home.

 

Short-Term Home Warranty
Most home warranties on existing properties are offered to better sell the home and provide a very limited warranty. Ultimately you bear the responsibility of maintaining and repairing all aspects of the house.

Today's Technology
Reputable builders use industry-leading, energy-saving innovations that enhance the quality of life for homeowners, from wiring and carpeting to kitchen appliances and paint.

 

Yesterday's Technology
Used homes may lack important modern technologies, such as being wired for today's technology or not having ground fault interruption (GFI) protection on the electrical system, which provide added safety for your family.

Today's Amenities
Newly constructed homes feature floor plans to support the way families live today.

 

Yesterday's Amenities
Used homes generally come with older appliances, if any, and technology that may not be as efficient or effective as products on the market today.

Today's Floor Plans
Design a home to suit your lifestyle, personality and sense of style. Choose the lot, floor plan, and number of rooms that match your family's needs.

 

Yesterday's Floor Plans
Used homes were designed for the needs of a different generation. They may feature lower ceilings and small closets and rooms.
