New Construction vs. Move-In Ready

New Construction or Move-In Ready: Which is Right for You?

When it comes finding your new home, there’s a lot to consider. One of the first major decisions to make is deciding if you want to be a part of the construction process with a new build, or if you’d prefer a move-in ready home. Each has its benefits—it’s just a matter of which fits your needs.  

New Construction Homes (New Builds)

If you select a newly constructed home, you’ll choose the home site you want to build on and be a part of the building process. Some advantages of new builds include:

• You’re essentially building your own house, starting with the floor plan and selecting nearly every aspect of the home’s’s features.
• You’ll be a part of selecting interior design options, such as cabinets, countertops, light fixtures, flooring, doors, windows, and beyond.
• You may be able to make structural changes to the floor plan before construction has begun, such as adding rooms or garage space, moving doors, adding another fireplace and so on.
• The home will be exactly what you envision, with no sacrifices!
  
  

The main factor is that you’re involved in every step of the process, working directly with the builder to choose a home site and a floor plan that fits your lifestyle, selecting interior design features that you love, and incorporating the newest technology and appliances.

Move-In Ready Homes

A move-in ready home is already constructed and ready for you to move in right away. This can be a more convenient option for buyers who may need to get into their new home faster, or for those who aren’t interested in being a part of the building process. The home is ready for you as soon as you close on the purchase. The benefits of a move-in ready include:

• The finishes and fixtures have been pre-selected by a professional designer.
• The final cost is already applied, so you’ll avoid any surprise expenses.
• There’s no “work” involved, so you can walk in worry-free to a completed home!

Many opt for a move-in ready home because of timing and convenience, but luckily at NorthGrove, you’ll have plenty of options and floor plans from a variety of top-quality builders, ensuring that your new home is exactly what you want.
