Primarily this is becuase the interest you pay on your home is tax deductible. In practical terms, this means that your taxable income is usually reduced by thousands of dollars. Meaning you keep more of what you earn, and pay less in taxes.
With interest rates remaining at record lows, and home prices appreciating rapidly in value, it makes the most sense to turn your rent money into some home equity. Call us today, at (801) 572-6363 or email us info@holmeshomes.com.
2. Easy financing. Our partner, New Home Mortgage, has made financing your new home very simple. We can help almost anyone in any financial situation qualify for the home of their dreams.
3. Warranties. Holmes Homes has one of the best home warranties you will ever find. Not only do we provide a comprehensive one-year warranty and a ten-year warranty on the structure, we will contact you every month to resolve any issues that come along and repair or replace them right away usually within 48 hours!
4. New appliances. The last thing you want when you move into a home is to repair or replace something. When you buy with us, you’ll receive brand new, state-of-the-art appliances and a heating system that come with comprehensive warranties.
5. Home site selection. You get to choose exactly where you live in our developments! Whether it’s securing the perfect view of the mountains, or the lot next to the park, the choice is yours.
6. Floor plan options. You will love our new floorplan and the option of selecting from our expansive list of customized options. Where available you can add a finished basement or a 3rd car garage. The choice is yours!
7. We use the latest building materials. When you buy a used home, you may have to worry about lead paint, outdated plumbing, leaky roof, and dangerous electrical problems, among other things. Holmes Homes uses only the best building materials in their homes. Including: CAT-5 wiring, sturdy Moen faucets, Congoleum kitchens, and stain-resistant Mohawk carpets.
8. Choice of finishes. We will invite you to visit our brand new design center, where you will get to customize your new home by choosing your own carpet, paint colors, and cabinets among other things.
9. Energy efficiency. Holmes Homes builds the highest quality standards, many of which were not in place when older homes were constructed. However, Holmes exceeds government requirements with double-sealed, high-quality windows and doors, energy-efficient water heaters and furnaces, and water-efficient toilets.
10. Lower maintenance. Leaky roofs, broken furnaces, drafty windows — a used home is far more likely to have significant maintenance issues than new construction. We install 25-year roofs and an unparalleled warranty service that keeps your home feeling new longer.
11. Compatible neighbors. In most new communities, buyers will be moving in with neighbors in generally similar circumstances. When you buy a home in an older neighborhood, you could find yourself the "new kid on the block" and have a harder time fitting in.
12. Value appreciation. The statistics don’t lie. New homes typically appreciate in value faster than older homes. As builders develop more property in the area, they raise the prices, which helps your home appreciate in value. Plus, newer homes are built with longer-lasting materials, which help generate higher appraised values versus used homes.
13. Personalize your home. There's no reason to settle for someone else's dream when you can buy a new home. The pattern of your tile, the color of your carpet, the paint that exactly matches your favorite painting, the perfect kitchen cabinets — all of these touches fill your home with your own personal charm and style.
14. No updating or redesigning. The nicest thing about signing the mortgage papers for a new home is the feeling of completion that comes with it. No outdated colors or appliances, and no remodeling loans for years and years. And our floor plans, with an emphasis on convenience, storage, good flow and elegance, offer not just what you need in a home but what you want..
15. Safety. The more we learn about home safety, the more features we incorporate into your home. We strengthen your trusses, add carbon monoxide and fire detectors to protect your family, and combined with thorough foundation and framing inspections to make our homes among the safest on the market against earthquake damage.
16. Well-planned, desirable neighborhoods. Holmes Homes builds neighborhoods in some of the most dynamic areas in Utah. We choose areas with strong economic growth and convenient access to shopping areas. Then we add beautiful parks, walkways and other amenities.
17. Quality Built inspections for every home. Quality is much more than a catch phrase with Holmes Homes. We have hired Quality Built, the nation’s #1 independent construction inspection company. They inspect every home we build five times! Our consistently high compliance on their 800-point inspection has earned us their highest honor: National Builder of the Year.
We were ranked the "Best New Homebuilder in 2000" by Quality Built™, an independent inspection company that audits hundreds of builders nationwide.
We believe quality makes a big difference. Don't you?
Why buy now? Interest rates are at historic lows. But they can’t last forever. If you wait until a time when interest rates return to historic averages, your house payment could increase drastically! So what are you waiting for?
