The Advantages to Buying a New Home

June 26, 2014

With home prices and mortgage rates both still at historic lows, the monthly cost of owning a new home is more affordable now than in the past 15 years. In the Memphis, TN and North Mississippi area, owning your own home is  less expensive than renting one. Grant & Company Preferred Mortgage Lenders are still offering 30-year, fixed rates in the 4 percent range, giving today’s Grant home buyers more buying power than in the past and the best opportunity to buy a new home instead of settling for a used one. The benefits to owning a new home are many, but here are a few that we especially like right now:  

•  Get what you want. New home builders like Grant & Company offer unparalleled quality and value. Choose from an incredible selection of new home models, then work closely with your builder to decide on the features and finishes that work best for you and your family.

•  You choose the builder. When you buy a brand new home, you get to choose your builder based on their reputation and track record. Grant and Company is proud of the work we have been doing for the past 65 years throughout the Memphis, TN area.  We have the skills, experience and integrity to do the job right. We are committed to your satisfaction.

•  You know what you get. With a new home, you know how the house was built and what went into it—both what you can see and what is behind the walls. And if you have questions later, your builder will be there to give you helpful and accurate information.
•  Quality construction. The quality of your new home is based on solid construction and attention to details. We combine the latest construction techniques with timeless craftsmanship to create homes that are comfortable, attractive and great to live in – in the perfect locations in the Memphis/Mid-South area.

•  Well-designed communities. New developments are designed to foster a spirit of community by carefully balancing private and public areas—welcoming home designs, recreational areas for children, safe and attractive roads and pathways. Want to see an example? Click here.

• Great designs. Today's new homes combine function and style, with open, inviting living areas, lots of light, well-planned work spaces and built-in convenience. Check out all our home plans by clicking here.

• Advanced products and materials. New homes use the most advanced building components. From construction materials to heating systems, the technology built into every new home ensures high performance, durability and long-term satisfaction.

• Finishes with flair. From flooring to faucets, the latest finishing products spell great looks and superior performance. Grant offers a wide selection of standard and upgrade options—you can pick and choose what best suits your lifestyle, personality and budget. Check out our Design Center by clicking here.

•  Easy maintenance. With today's careful construction, thoughtful design and improved building products, it is easier than ever to keep your home in great condition inside and out.

• Energy-efficiency. Thanks to advanced construction, higher levels of insulation and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, you not only save money on your energy bills, you also enjoy a far more comfortable home.

• Indoor air quality. New homes are designed to give you and your family the best possible indoor living environment.

• Safety. Constructed to the latest building codes, a new home includes a wide range of safety measures to protect you and your family.
• Warranty. One of the great advantages of buying a brand new home is the warranty that comes with it. Grant and Company stands behind our work with an after-sales service program and a guaranteed builder warranty.

• Stable financial planning. Plan for the future with confidence. With a new home, you know what you are getting. Everything is brand new—there will be no major repair bills and no replacement costs for years to come. Check out a Grant Preferred Lender for all the details.
