Many homeowners opt for a newly constructed home over an older home because they fear the impact of costly home repairs and maintenance. If you’re on the fence about which way to go, consider the possible investment if the home you’re considering needs major work.
Realtor.com details five of the most crazy, expensive home repairs, including foundation restoration, furnace or central AC replacement, repairing water damaged walls and ceilings, replacing the lawn, and tree removal. One or both of these issues could turn that charming older home into a nightmare of a money pit. If that scares you, a new model might be a better option.
Lucky for you, Sal Paone Builders offers some of the area’s most beautiful, well-constructed homes. Check out our website!
