Life’s events often take us in a new direction we may not have been considering. You may find yourself relocating for a job, creating more room for a growing family, or simply looking for a change of scenery. With these opportunities come very important factors to take into consideration to make the best decision for you and your family. It’s often easiest to determine location first and then consider renting or buying.
Often, the stage of life you’re in or your financial circumstances dictate what’s possible, and which option makes the most sense. But assuming you are in a position to buy, there are distinct advantages to going that route. Here are five of them.
1. When You Buy, You’re Building Equity
When you’re renting, you’re not building any equity—your landlord is. But when you own your home, you’re steadily building equity over time. Assuming you’ve bought into a thriving neighborhood, it’s an investment that will provide you with financial options in the future. Perhaps you’ll get a check when you sell your home down the road. Or maybe you’ll borrow against your home with an equity line. No matter what you do with your equity, for many people their home is their most sizeable asset, and an effective way to build wealth.
2. There’s a Potential for Tax Deductions
We’ll preface this benefit with a disclaimer: each person’s financial situation is unique, so it’s always important to consult your tax advisor. However, another allure for owning a townhome is the interest portion of your mortgage payment might be tax deductible if you qualify. This can lead to significant savings over time. On the other hand, your rent payment, unfortunately, is not tax deductible.
3. Fixed-Rate Mortgage Payments Never Go Up
If you’ve ever renewed a lease, you know exactly what happens when you get your new documents: you discover your rent payment has gone up again. But when you own a townhome with a fixed-rate mortgage, you never have to worry about your payments increasing. Taking away this uncertainty allows you to plan accordingly for the future, whether you’re looking to stash more money into savings or set it aside for a big purchase.
4. You’ll Enjoy the Pride of Ownership
While the previous advantages are more practical, there’s a more emotional benefit to home ownership, too. A sense of pride comes with owning your own place, especially if you’re a first-time homeowner. From creating your own sense of style to maintaining a small yard to owning a pet, buying gives you the freedom to create your own aesthetic, and build on it over time.
5. Modern Convenience and Peace of Mind
This last advantage applies when you’re buying a brand-new home, which provides additional perks. Our homes come with modern, eco-friendly features that contribute to the long-term health of the home and have less impact on the environment. Lennar’s new homes also come with warranties, which means you don’t have to worry about unexpected costs or stress when a problem arises. Plus, each home is filled with our Everything’s Included® features, including voice-activated Home Automation and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs.
The convenience and peace of mind that comes with a new home purchase is very appealing to many home buyers.
As we noted at the outset, each individual has their own unique set of circumstances, so when you’re deciding to buy or rent a variety of factors will impact your decision. But if you’re leaning towards buying, hopefully these five reasons will give you more confidence to take the leap.
If you’re considering the idea of purchasing your first home, we have a variety of options to choose from:

One of Texas’s most storied songwriters wrote a delightful tribute to homegrown tomatoes. Everybody knows backyard ’maters beat store-bought hands down. Growing the fruit—yes, it is a fruit—is just one example of a super-easy project when you’re at home.
An old, but newly popular, trick for growing the tastiest tomatoes involves a simple straw bale. You don’t need a raised bed or bags of topsoil, straw creates its own nutrients.
Oh, and the plant loves sunshine, and Lennar’s new homes for sale in Dallas, TX, bathe in an average of 234 sunny days, about a month’s more sunlight than the national yearly average.
Start with a single straw (not hay) bale. Garden-supply stores, nurseries, feed-and-seeds and farmers markets carry them, as does a large tractor-supply shop just 10 miles from Lennar’s new Riverplace community, coming soon with new homes for sale in Garland, TX.
Now add an herb garden. They’re so simple you can start one in your kitchen or another sunny spot in your new Lennar home. The easiest edibles to grow in the Metroplex include basil, thyme, dill, rosemary and cilantro and oregano. The former, a savory topping for Mexican foods and the latter, a key ingredient in the Lone Star State’s national dish, chili.
Many new Lennar homes include The World’s First Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs, which means you can always ask Alexa to suggest arts-and-crafts ideas or fun things to do with your stir-crazy kids. Parkview Hills Classic, coming soon with new homes for sale in Fort Worth, TX, is among many new communities offering smart-home technology.
Still, while Everything’s Included® in every new Lennar home, with high-end features built-in, homeowners still want to make their home their own. Here are some easy ideas:
Elegant new homes for sale in Frisco, TX, such as the seven generous floorplans in Lennar’s classic designs in Lennar’s Phillips Creeks Ranch community, are already chockful of comforts. Maintenance is still important, and now’s as good a time as ever to clean air vents and the refrigerator coil, paint baseboards and tackle other such oft-neglected chores.
If you’re not familiar with Lennar’s stress-free home buying experience, here’s an even easier project: Peruse Lennar’s new homes for sale throughout the Metroplex by calling the Dallas-Fort Worth Internet New Home team at (866) 314-4477, or take a virtual tour now.

While COVID-19 has certainly impacted business operations across Central Texas, it has also had a detrimental impact on the region’s homeless population. These individuals are among the most vulnerable during normal times, but COVID-19 has left them in an even more precarious situation, lacking critical resources and the most basic needs.
Fortunately, the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin 2020 Benefit Home, led by Lennar Homes under its luxury brand, Village Builders, continues to make great progress at The Retreat at Steiner Ranch, having recently completed the framing stage.
Proceeds from the sale of this home will be donated to the HBA, who in turn will donate a significant portion to HomeAid Austin, a non-profit organization dedicated to building new lives for Austin’s individuals and families experiencing homelessness through housing and community outreach. “
“Giving back to the community is part of the DNA at Lennar, and the company is thrilled to join forces with the HBA and HomeAid Austin to support this year’s Benefit Home,” said Charlie Coleman, Division President for Lennar Homes. “Bringing businesses and resources together to help Austin’s homeless population is important year-round, and even more so during this challenging time presented by COVID-19.”
The annual Benefit Home project involves the construction of a new home built by a sponsoring builder/developer, with additional donations of construction management, materials, supplies, labor and monies of Home Builders Association members.
A significant number of vendors have already stepped up to be part of this worthy cause, including:
Lennar’s Village Builder design will be based on the appealing Avondale floor plan. Spanning over 2,500 square feet, the home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage. Highlights of this open, inviting layout include an expansive great room, covered patio, spacious kitchen and dining areas, and a stunning master suite.
The location of this year’s Benefit Home could not be more impressive. Steiner Ranch is an award-winning community located right along beautiful Lake Austin and Lake Travis in northwest Austin, offering ample family-friendly amenities, exceptional schools and acres of greenbelts and hiking and biking trails to explore Hill Country wildlife.
Giving back to the community is part of the DNA at Lennar, and the company is thrilled to join forces with the HBA and HomeAid Austin to support this year’s Benefit Home.
