Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New or Buying Old

New homes typically have a higher sales price than comparable existing homes, and buyers are usually willing to spend more on a new home because of lower maintenance costs. Builders' warranties on new homes, when combined with a new roof, appliances, and major systems, usually make major repairs unnecessary and help to counter a slower initial rate of appreciation.

Census Bureau Housing Surveys suggests that operating costs are lowest for brand new homes and slightly higher for relatively new existing homes. Operating costs per square foot of living space are consistently higher for progressively older existing homes. Utility costs represent the largest factor in operating costs. Energy consumption per square foot depends on the size of the home, the insulation and quality of the windows, air leakage and the efficiency of the furnace.

New homes require fewer expenditures for routine maintenance. The cost of maintenance first increases with age, then declines, so you will generally spend less maintaining a home built before 1960 than for a home built between 1970 and 1975.

John and Linda Monroe, the top-selling husband and wife real estate sales team, have been honored as one of the 100 top-producing agent teams in metro Atlanta by being named to the COMMUNITIES Magazine Top 100 list. Known as the Monroe Team, the pair is based out of Prudential Georgia Realtys South Cherokee Office, best known for covering the areas of Kennesaw, Acworth, Woodstock, Townelake, Marietta, Canton, South Cherokee County, and Cobb County. The team regularly makes the top 10 list with Prudential Atlanta/Georgia Realty and ranks in the top 1 percent of 43,000 Prudential agents nationwide, a placement that awarded them the Chairmans Circle Diamond Award in 2001. The Monroes were also honored as top 100 Prudential Agents internationally.

The Monroes approach their real estate business by taking a very proactive, sincere attitude with all of their clients, from their recommendations about what has to be done to beautify the home, to pricing, to comments from other agents. John and Linda Monroe know this from personal experience; the real estate business is more than just putting signs in yards, typing listing information into a computer, and printing flyers. They know that it takes successful real estate agents to make selling houses look easy. John and Linda know that part of their success is due to their emphasis on customer service. They not only meet, but also often exceed, their customers expectations. And just as important as their honesty and accessibility is their attention to fine-tuning their marketing approach. They continually focus on niche marketing and customer service as the backbone of their success. They never stop fine-tuning these elements in order to give their customers the best buying and selling experiences possible.
