LOUDOUN COUNTY. VA — With all the reasons to buy a new home vs. an older home one of the most meaningful, and most tangible, is mother nature (especially this winter).
The obvious attractions of a new home are the visible ones – the layout the finishes, amenities, appliances and technologies – any or all of which can be tailored to your family’s needs and tastes There are the undeniable sensory appeals of a new home feel, and that one-of-a-kind new home smell. Finally, and maybe most significantly, are the energy systems and energy savings you can only enjoy in a new home.
From the ground up, new homes include multiple layers of protection from the elements – moisture and air vapor barriers, air infiltration packages, house wraps, band board and slab insulation, plus high efficiency heating and cooling systems.
