Why Buy New

Why Buy New

July 18, 2017

There are only a few hours during the week when everyone is home together. It’s after work, after the kids are finished with school, after baseball practice, after dinner. And then finally! It’s time to sit down and relax. Ugh, but wait.  That home you bought that was built in 1978?  The one that has dog stains on the carpet, wallpaper in the kitchen and linoleum in the bathroom?  The one you thought would be easy to “fix up” and remodel?  That’s all waiting for you. Things are adding up fast, your list is getting longer and the stress is mounting.

But buying a home doesn’t have to come with a to-do list. Why settle for someone else’s remains? Why spend your nights and weekends trying to figure out how to fix it up? Buying a home is a big decision, but buying a new home comes with big benefits. Need proof?  Just consider these advantages offered by a newly constructed Summit Home.  

Warranty. Buy new and your entire home and virtually everything in it will be covered by a comprehensive warranty program.  Summit Homes offers one year of full coverage on workmanship and materials, two years over the mechanical systems and a ten-year structural warranty. You enjoy the comfort of knowing that if something does happen, you have a whole team behind you ready to make it right.

Energy Efficient.  New homes are more energy efficient, and we take pride in using the latest in home building science to ensure your home is healthy, efficient and good for the environment.  You can breathe easy knowing your family is surrounded by healthy indoor-air quality and you’ll see cost savings of up to 30% in your utility bills. 

Location. You know what they say: “Location, location, location.” A resale home can’t be moved.  It is where it is. Selecting your home site is just as important as selecting your home. New homes give you more flexibility in choosing where you live. We build in premier communities in the best locations across the Kansas City metro. Each community offers a variety of desirable amenities for your family to enjoy, from swimming pools and playgrounds to fitness clubs, golf courses and lakeside fishing. Located in the best school districts with shopping, dining and health services nearby, you’ll have everything you need just a few minutes from home. Love your home. Love your neighborhood. Love your community.

Options. Make your home fit your lifestyle by selecting from an array of floor plans and room options. We offer flex rooms, extra bedrooms, finished lower levels and more. We have options for every size and price point with many floorplans to choose from, and we even offer communities with lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash and recycling services. Make your home reflect your style by choosing your fixtures, paint and flooring.  

Peace of mind. There are fewer repairs and less maintenance with a new home.  With a used home, you never know how long it will be before things start to break down. A new Summit Home leaves you with nothing left to do, but move in and benefit from low maintenance needs for years to come.
