Before you buy a home - any home - now is the time to ask yourself, "what are the advantages of owning a new home versus a pre-owned home"?

The answer is that there are many advantages, and as advancements continue to be made in building practices and technology - the advantages become more and more apparent. Noble Communities is
committed to utilizing and offering as many of these advancements as possible in order to make your new home experience as enjoyable as possible.

BUILDING FAMILY WEALTH

As you know, one of life’s most important decisions is deciding to purchase your first home. It’s not only an important quality of life / family decision, but also a key financial decision. It is estimated that 55% of America’s net worth is in home equity. What does this tell us? Investing in a home for you and your family should be a priority- because it’s one of the best ways to build wealth.

It’s simple: a well kept property in a good neighborhood is sure to appreciate in value. Therefore, as you pay down your mortgage you get the added value of your property being worth more and more everyday. Today, it makes even better financial sense because of the historic low interest rates and flexible financing options. It’s a great investment that just keeps getting better.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

State-of-the-art appliances are typically offered as standard or as an upgrade in our homes. With all of the advancements that have been made in the design and functionality of appliances - the difference between today's appliances and those of yesteryear are immeasurable.

Our homes are wired to support digital home theatre systems, high speed Internet access, multiple telephone lines and many other convenient features - all of which can be added into your mortgage.

CUSTOMER CARE

With a pre-owned home, it may be difficult to tell the quality of components that are behind the walls or the level of maintenance that occurred to the home over the years by the previous owner. With a new home, you can find out exactly what materials were used in the home and possibly watch the construction of your home occur - giving you a
better level of comfort for the overall quality of your home.

As part of our “It’s our pleasure” program, our new homes come with a protective warranty. Please see your Service Representative for details. Having the comfort of knowing exactly what your warranty program is at the point of purchase and having a builder that will stand behind that warranty program can be a big stress reliever when making the largest purchase of your life.

LOW MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS

Features requiring less maintenance than those built in the past are being used such as fiber cement siding, windows and trim that rarely need painting or replacing, windows that are less prone to leakage and roofing products that are better designed for the weather than ever before.

ENGINEERED DESIGNS AND PRODUCTS

Engineered, foundations, steel framing and roof venting are just a few items being used today in many new homes that are not predominant in many pre-owned homes. Durable products such as fiber cement siding and steel truss beams are other products that may be used in your new home that improve the overall structure and durability.

We are finding new and better ways to strengthen our homes while using products that are safe for the environment.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

New homes consume much less energy than pre-owned homes due to energy efficient features such as high grades of insulation in walls and ceilings; double-paned, thermal-insulated or tinted windows; advanced heating and cooling systems with high SEER ratings; and advanced air filtration systems. With many of today's homes being designed with
large expanses of windows, integrating these energy saving features is a real benefit.

FINANCING YOUR MORTGAGE

With a new home, many times you have the option of including your upgrades and options into your purchase price so you don't have to pay for added features out of pocket. Many flexible and attractive financing options are available to you through our preferred lenders. Please contact your Service Representative for more information.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Over the years, health hazards have been an issue in older homes. Lead and asbestos, which can cause physical and mental problems and respiratory diseases, have now been eliminated or greatly reduced in new homes.

A new home is safer than ever before with: building codes requiring more electrical outlets preventing the need for extension cords; wiring systems have been improved and are less likely to cause fires; central heating systems eliminate the need for space heaters that can start fires; and tempered glass in exterior doors and bathtub enclosures
allow glass to crumble upon impact instead of breaking into jagged pieces causing serious injury.

MODERN DESIGNS AND FEATURES

Today's homes often include: open kitchens and family rooms, home offices that are designed for today's computers and used by multiple family members and private master retreats separate from secondary bedrooms.

Features and surfaces such as granite or solid-core surface kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass block windows, and an array of flooring options are just a few of the new items available today that were not available or affordable in the past.

PERSONALIZE YOUR HOME

When you purchase a new home, it can be personalized to your tastes. During the process you may have the opportunity to select cabinetry, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, decorative hardware, appliances and more.

And if your new home is purchased in advance of a predetermined selection stage, you can take pride in fine-tuning the details and choosing colors that will match your own furnishings and tastes.
