Why Build New

New Home or Resale: Which one is right for you?


When you’re ready to buy a new home, will it actually be “new” or will it be used? You have many choices, but before you make your decision, consider the advantages of purchasing a brand new Forbes Capretto home.

Skip the repairs, replacements, and renovations.

New means new! When you buy a new construction home, it’s move-in ready. There’s nothing to fix, repair, or replace. From the building materials to the systems and appliances, everything is 100% new and warrantied, by the builder and the manufacturers of the products. Factor the savings into your total cost of ownership to see the lasting value of choosing a new construction home over a resale.

Your new home is energy efficient by today’s standards.

Construction materials and methods continue to evolve, so a home that’s built today is more eco-friendly and energy-efficient than used homes. Forbes Capretto is anENERGY STAR certified builder,demonstrating our commitment to smart, safe, and energy-efficient new home construction.

A new home is 100% move-in ready.

When you buy a used home, you probably have a wish list of changes to make. Maybe you want to repaint the walls, change the flooring, replace light fixtures, or update the kitchen or bathroom—maybe a combination of all of these. They could be purely cosmetic changes, but you still have renovating to do after you move in.
By making the decision to buy a new construction home, you choose all the finishes from Forbes Capretto Homes’ Design Center, so you have a home that is completed to your liking. The floors and walls are exactly as you want them. You’ve chosen your colors, light fixtures, and every detail right down to the cabinet hardware and doorknobs. When you move in, your home is complete and ready for you to start your new life there!
