If you are looking for a different place to live, you might consider older houses as well as new homes. There are pros and cons to both options. One that is freshly built obviously has many positives to it. The main negative is probably that it will cost more than one that was built a few years ago. If you lean toward one that is fresh, then you will need to consider several items. Look at the cost, contractor, and the warranties.
Check Part 1 if you have not yet.
The warranties on products used in the building of new homes are also
a consideration. Every area should really be under warranty. From the
floors to the windows, a warranty may tell you how good a product you
are actually getting.After considering these items, you should have enough information to choose a contractor, but as you go through the project, make sure you are careful to look at details, so that you know how everything is being done. There is a fine line between being a micro-manager and being a homeowner. Keep that balance, and you will probably also keep your contractor happy.
New homes take a lot of work on the part of everyone involved. For you as the homeowner, it takes work because you need to pick out the details of every area of the home. You have to think about quality with this as well, and you need to be able to discuss options with your contractor. Even with all of the details to consider, it is still worth it.
