Avoid hassles of unexpected repairs that may come up in older homes

By Bill Lewis | FOR THE TENNESSEAN • September 19, 2010

Some home buyers dream of purchasing a foreclosure for pennies on the dollar. Others crave the charm and character of an older house. But if you want a blank slate; a place where nobody else has lived before and a decreased risk of unexpected expenses, a newly built home is your best bet.

“Even if the price may be a little higher on the front end, you’ll save money in the long run,” said Bridget Wright Thompson, with the Jones Company.

A previously lived-in house might need unexpected repairs that may not be covered by a warranty. Roofs can develop leaks. Heating and air-conditioning systems don’t last forever. And while foreclosures can be amazing bargains, they’re also a big gamble.

“There are so many nightmares when you go down (the foreclosure) path,” said Thompson. “The people may have taken everything, including the toilets.”

When you buy a newly built house, you don’t face those issues. The roof, the floors and everything in between are all brand-new. And if anything does go wrong, most builders provide a long-term warranty that can cover the cost of repairs for years, said Geoff Hart with Beazer Homes.

“(Our warranty) is almost like thinking of an insurance policy,” Hart said. “It’s just the peace of mind. For the first two years, all major systems are covered. All the way to the 10th year, all structural or foundation issues” are covered.

There are tradeoffs, of course. There are far more existing homes on the market than new homes, so if you’re buying new you don’t have as great a selection. And most new homes are in new developments, which means you’re giving up the advantages and attractions of a more established neighborhood with mature trees, unique character and where property values have risen over the years.

We saw a definite uptick in traffic and sales in May. The jury’s still out on June, but we’re definitely seeing more walk in traffic.  What does it mean?  Anyone can speculate on that answer, but I think that buyers are finally getting the message that the longer they wait for the bottom, the higher the chance that mortgage rates will climb and they’ll miss their golden opportunity!  Plus, the $8000 tax credit for new homebuyers certainly doesn’t hurt! 

By now, in this market…we’ve heard just about every objection you can imagine…just as most homebuilders, I am certain.  However, we’ve tried to take away every road block, every concern, every objection that could possibly stand in the way of our potential clients and their new Jones home!  We’ve packaged all these great programs into one big one – and called it the “BUY NOW with CONFIDENCE” PlanTM. 

Some of the objections we’ve encountered:

OBJECTION: My current home needs work before I try to sell it, but I don’t know how to get that done, or how I will ever afford it!

ANSWER:  We’ve developed a program called “Set the Stage” where we will arrange for you to have a Professional Stager and Home Repair Specialist come to your current home, and advise you on ways to get your home sold. We’ve even arranged our repair techs to give you OUR COST pricing!

OBJECTION: I am afraid that the value of the home I buy will decline right after I sign the dotted line!

ANSWER:  The Jones Company’s PURCHASE PRICE GUARANTEE PROGRAM - We’ll actually guarantee, that if after 5 years of home ownership, your home has declined in value from its original sales price – we’ll pay you the difference – up to 10% of your home’s value! WOW.

MORE OBJECTIONS & ANSWERS TOMORROW…Stay Tuned!
