Buying a home is an exciting, and sometimes daunting, experience. You want to make sure you're getting not only what you want, but the best value for your money. One of the easiest ways to ensure that is by purchasing a new home instead of a pre-owned property.

Why should you buy new? The experts at Hawkins-Welwood Homes, one of Dallas' most trusted luxury custom homebuilders, explain all the benefits.

You'll be on track with trends
We're not just talking cosmetic trends here, which can come and go depending on people's fickle tastes. No, the trends in question are the ones that will benefit you (and your wallet) both now and down the line. A new home will have the most up-to-date and efficient technology, from home automation to car lifts.

Homes are not only becoming smarter, but also easier to operate remotely as well. Imagine having the peace of mind to be able to confirm your garage is actually closed, or that your lights have come on even though you are a thousand miles away, or that the person ringing your doorbell is someone who's supposed to be there.

You'll get all the eco benefits
Foam insulation is a must in new construction — it practically makes the homes air-tight. But the latest eco-friendly advantages don't stop there. Aluminum-clad windows and tankless water heaters give your utility bills some major relief, and you don't have to worry about replacing these hardy features as often.

But don't forget about your home's base: Post Tension Slab foundations are becoming more popular now, and are a great foundation for Texas. They combine the best parts of a slab and pier-and-beam to create a sturdy, durable foundation.

You'll have a floorplan that works for you
Open design has become an increasingly popular layout, with its easy flow and airy feel. When you use a luxury custom homebuilder, you can tweak the plans until they are ideal for your style of living. Car-lovers are able to deck out their garages with custom touches, from car lifts to custom cabinetry to HVAC systems and more.

Curious if a custom-built home could be the right choice for you? Get in touch with the team at Hawkins-Welwood Homes either by visiting their website, calling 972-931-1006, emailing Kelly Ongena at Kelly@hwhomes.com, or stopping by their office at 17480 N. Dallas Pkwy., suite 217. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram to see how limitless your new-home options can be.
