New Home Advantages

One of the first decisions a home buyer will be faced with is whether to buy a new home or a used home. Your choice should be an easy one - always consider purchasing a new home first. New homes offer many advantages that are simply not available in a resale property. Here are some of the advantages to consider when buying a new home.

Confidence

You know what you are getting when you buy a new home. You know how your home was built and what is included. You know what's behind the walls. You know how to operate your new home to its maximum efficiency and if there are any other questions Eastforest Homes will answer them.

High Quality Construction

The science of home construction has vastly improved over the years and new homes today are built better than ever before. Every Eastforest Home is built Energy Star - they are energy efficient, offer excellent indoor air quality and offer many energy-saving and better home comfort features, as discussed under Building Green. Whether it is high-efficiency windows and doors, heating systems or roofing shingles, today's building products work better and last longer. The result is a brand new Eastforest home that is far healthier, comfortable and easy to maintain.

Budget

When you purchase an Eastforest home you know all of your costs up front. This means you can budget properly and plan for the big day of when your home ownership dreams come true. The house can be tailored to your own preferences including the lot, floor plan, colours, flooring and budget.

Choice

When you buy an Eastforest home it's all yours from top to bottom and they're better designed to reflect today's lifestyles. Whether it's the layout, the cabinets or the carpeting, your new home will be built to exactly what you want. In a resale home you're left with other people's choices - not your own. You can decorate and paint it as you like and call your new home your dream home.

Desirable Neighbourhoods

New residential neighbourhoods are carefully designed to offer consumers a pleasant balance between community and private life. Walkways, bike paths, signage and housing concentration are all thought out beforehand to ensure your lifestyle is best represented by where you live. Visual elements help your home blend nicely into the character of your community, making it an attractive place to look at.

Warranty and Customer Service

Resale homes don't come with a comprehensive warranty whereas your new Eastforest home does. If an issue should arise in a resale home, you have the burden of dealing with its cost completely. We offer you peace of mind, as a new home comes with a 7 year Tarion Warranty providing you with protection against defects in your new home. Eastforest Homes also offers you our comprehensive after-sale service department to ensure you are completely satisfied with the purchase of your new home.

Trust

In the end, the quality of your home depends on the quality of your builder. Eastforest Homes has been building homes for over 15 years and has grown to be one of the largest and most respected builders in our region. We leverage our size and expertise to attract the best employees and the best tradespeople, building homes of exceptional quality and value.
