Older fixer-uppers often seem appealing when you’re in the market for a new home. Yet, while the initial affordable price of resale home can be enticing, these homes don’t always represent the best value for your money. You might be aware of the repairs needed to bring an older home up to your standards, but you’ll also inevitably run into hidden — even excessive — costs once you start breaking down walls or replacing old plumbing and wiring.
A new Lennar home, on the other hand, comes with multiple benefits that make for a sound investment you’ll enjoy for years. Here’s why it makes sense to buy new from Lennar.
Windows
Low-E, dual-pane windows keep more heat inside in the winter, more cool air contained in summer, and more cash in your pocket all year long thanks to lower utility bills.
Appliances
The energy saving appliances in Lennar homes use up to 50% less energy than older models.
Bathrooms and Kitchens
Kitchen and bathroom faucets and commodes made specifically to use less water save gallons each year, meaning you won’t be flushing cash away.
Lighting
LED lightbulbs throughout Lennar homes can last up to 60,000 hours and use as little as 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs.
Smart Home
With their Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design, Lennar homes come ready for networking — there’s no need for rewiring or running cables through old walls to start using smart devices and appliances.
Thermostats
Smart Wi-Fi thermostats work to maximize heating and cooling efficiency in every season.
Sensors
Connected sensors turn lights off when you’re not home, saving energy and lowering your monthly power bill.
Luxury
Upgrading an older home with high-end finishes quickly adds up. Lennar’s package pricing delivers first-class cabinets, counters, floors, and more from the start.
Services
Thanks to Lennar’s special relationship with affiliated insurance, mortgage, and title companies, it’s possible to enjoy significant savings on home buying and owning services.
Focus
Each Lennar community comes with its own construction manager and customer-care team so your concerns are immediately looked after. That’s a lot different than working with contractors who may have divided attention from juggling several projects at once.
