Keystone Custom Homes Encourages Buying New vs. Used

Oct. 19, 2015 - PRLog -- Keystone Custom Homes encourages buying new in its latest infographic, "Why Should You Buy New?: New vs. Used Homes." The content of the bright and colorful piece showcases how purchasing a new home saves money overtime.

"Many buyers don't think they can afford to purchase a new home," explained Janette Hawkins, Vice President of Marketing for Keystone Custom Homes (http://builderpedia.com/2013/07/keystone-custom-homes/). "They usually focus on the upfront costs and fail to analyze the overall costs. In the long run, buying new is more cost effective than having to keep up the maintenance on an older home."

In fact, a new home can be maintained for 96 percent less than a used home built prior to 1980. Additionally, a new home bought at $300,000 and a used home bought at $208,000 will have the same monthly payment of approximately $2,000 due to maintenance and heating costs for the older home.

The "New vs. Used Homes" infographic relays this information in an easy to understand visual. Featuring a tall house with bite-sized facts in compartments or rooms, the infographic shares how replacing the roof and flooring; remodeling the master bath and kitchen; and upgrading the furnace of an older home is costly.

In the background, the infographic continues to explain how new homes are more energy efficient and have a better resale value because of its desirability over an older home. "Plus, buyers can choose exactly what they want in a new home - paint colors, flooring, countertops, appliances and more!" continued Hawkins.

Building in central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland, Keystone has plenty of new homes to choose from.
