Why a new Lennar home is better than a resale home

New Lennar Homes Offer Efficiency, Comfort and Health in Orange County

Irvine, Calif. – October, 2016 – When you enter the homebuying market, there’s a lot to consider from floorplans, budgets and of course a primary question being “Is a new home or a resale home right for me?” While resale homes that need repairs or renovation updates might be originally lower in cost, a new Lennar home offers a whole host of benefits you simply can’t get out of a resale home.

“We know that a new Lennar home enriches the homeowner and their families lives in more than a few ways,” said Janet Price, Marketing Manager for Lennar California Coastal. “Not only are they stylistically current, giving you the very latest in design, materials and home technology, but they provide an overall healthier environment for you and your family.”

According to the National Center for Healthy Housing, seventy-five percent of homes built before 1978 contain toxic lead paint. New Lennar homes at any of our Orange County communities, such as Beacon Park or the upcoming and highly anticipated Parasol Park, promote healthy indoor air quality with low-VOC interior paint. Additionally, these homes abide by improved energy standards and codes during the building process. Our new homes lessen exposure to pest and contaminates.

They’re also built with improved materials and technology, reducing the risk of mold you’ll get with any resale home. They’re also built with improved and innovative well ventilated systems that help keep it dry and help direct air flow in a way that pushes any contaminates away from the main living areas.

A new home is also most likely going to be bigger. The National Association of Home Builders, homes built before 1970 have an average size of approximately 1,400 square feet. At Beacon Park or Parasol Park, we build homes with up to 3,196 square feet of living space, offering more than twice as much room for you and your family. We also offer a dynamic range of more than 25 floorplan variations in Orange County alone, making it possible for you to find the home that best fits your family’s needs.

A lot of money can be spent alone on increasing the energy-efficiency of a resale home. New Lennar homes at Beacon Park or Parasol Park come with many energy-efficient features included at no extra cost through the Everything’s Included® program. At these communities, some of these features include programmable thermostats, tankless water heaters, radiant barrier roof, solar electric systems in select communities, ENERGY STAR® certified stainless steel appliance, water conserving fixtures, low-E windows, LED lighting and even more!

Plus, resale homes often lack the amenities found in new home communities. At Beacon Park, for example, residents enjoy private parks, playgrounds, sport courts, a community center, swimming pool and more.
