We have that goal to someday buy a home that we call our own. A balcony to drink our coffee, patterned wall background, stylish interior design, and some extra spot to put that “PLANTITA” babies we have. All is set, right? Except for that one decision to do on whether to build a new one or buy an existing home offered in the market - which will be better?
In acquiring a home, some things to consider are location, price, accessibility, and security. Each of these must be properly weighed up.
To compare, let’s walk you through both sides of the idea of either to: BUILD a new one or BUY a ready for occupancy unit?
1. Convenience.
Current technological advances made us appreciate more the convenience of making things easier and faster. The same thing applies in considering the goal to get our own home, we want it to be hassle-free as much as possible.
In building a new home, many things must be considered that includes the availability of the property near your neighborhood, finding the land to build your house on, cost of materials for the property, a great deal of time to find the perfect Architect or Planner, and every aspect of building a house.
Planning to build a new house may result in higher costs and prolonged timeframe construction, which can still increase throughout the home building process.
Unlike building a new one, buying a ready for occupancy unit can significantly deduct the above-mentioned factors.
Good thing is, the option to buy a ready for occupancy unit is offered by most developers in the country today.
Once approved by the developer, customers will have several benefits:
Financially there is no need to worry about any future increases since once reserved, any changes in the future price, will not affect the agreed price. In short, what was discussed will be
2. Wide range of choices based on buying home capabilities.
Real estate developers provide future homeowners a wide range of choices, starting from house model design, house specifications, and location down to price range, all of which can provide not only convenience but also right fit choices based on buyer's preferences.
3. Return of investment.
When deciding on whether to build or buy a new house, one should also consider that making one of these ideas possible means you are ready to invest. The big question is, what will you be getting in return?
True to all, investing in real estate will surely generate a yield of return in investment as it easily appreciates. The concern will be, How?
In building a new house, the ultimate goal is to occupy the unit. Return of investment may only come at a later time once the homeowner decides to sell the property, before that, building a new house may only result in multiple repair expenses for the maintenance of the house.
In buying a ready-for occupancy, future homeowners can instantly see the return of their investment on a yearly or quarterly basis considering most developers constantly increases the value of their property thus also increasing the preselling price of the property acquired upon reservation.
Obtaining the property from a national developer given that most of their projects are conventionally located in well-developed areas, in the center of the community, and are within close range proximity to all essential needs such as; schools, hospitals, market, etcetera, hence making a high return of investment.
Another possible way is to lease the property. Most investors are buying properties with the mindset of having them rented in the future, therefore, gaining a passive profit monthly.
4. Safety and security.
The biggest element in leaving in a community is the comfort of knowing that you and your loved ones are safe and secured.
In building a new house, imagine the additional costs and expenses of the materials, labor, and other factors needed on top of the charges accumulated in just building the house.
Great thing is, this security feature is mostly offered by developers.
When investing in a developer, one should look out to:
5. Perimeter Fence.
Living in well-gated community grants every resident the freedom to relax and let their children roam and play safely within the community.
There’s also the sense of building a greener environment since most gated communities are equipped with open spaces that include trees and landscape plants for a constant fresh breath of air.
6. 24/7 Security CCTV Cameras.
Taking into account this added security feature is a big selling point seeing that this can discourage and scare off trespassers.
7. Guarded Entrances and Exits.
Living in a well-gated and guarded community brings an additional sense of safety and privacy. Aside from that, a peaceful and tranquil community can be distinguished from the hustle and bustle of the busy community.
8. Modern and exclusive amenities.
National developers nowadays equip properties with modern, exclusive, and modern amenities. Amenities offered may include the following: Parks and playgrounds, Recreation Hubs, Community Centers and most especially the current trend of FREE WIFI.
These modern amenities can all be enjoyed by future homeowners for a more holistic community living.
9. Discounts and promos.
As a consumer, we wanted to save by taking into account the costs of materials, labor, and other additional unexpected expenses that may be incurred in building a new house or even buying from a developer
This is where discounts and promos will come in. Reputable developers offer monthly promos where, as a buyer, can make the most out of their value.
This may include, free processing for home loan financing and title transfers. One should also look out to the cost of utility installation such as water and electricity. A rough estimate in processing all of these may range from 50,000 up to 100,000.
In a conclusion, one can say that buying real estate from a developer is the best course of action that will benefit us most.
