My new home will be a hassle-free place to live. The answer is true. At least it will be for the first couple of years. If everything in the home is new, maintenance chores will consist of changing light bulbs. Fixtures, appliances and materials will be under warranty, and if you have a good builder, he'll come back to fix any construction glitches you discover after moving in, provided you call him within a reasonable time period.
Building is an easier way to acquire a house.
Constructing your personal empire is a lot different from buying one. It only takes 30 to 45 days to close on an existing home, but it takes an average of five months to raise a house with the help of a builder. And those 20 weeks are likely to be energy-sappers. You'll be under pressure to make hundreds of decisions within a very short period, and you'll be juggling these challenges with your family responsibilites and work. It's a hefty investment in time and mental focus, but the people who've been there say the fatigue is worth it.
