Reasons to Build
Top 12 Reasons to Build*
1) Great Rates
Mortgages have become much more reasonable over the years and carrying a mortgage is easier today than ever before! In fact, it would have cost you more to carry a $200 000 mortgage in 1981 than it does to carry a $500 000 mortgage today.
2) Manitoba Homes Have Value
Home values in Manitoba have not depreciated. In fact, each year homes in Manitoba have increased value, guaranteeing a healthy return on your investment in a new built Manitoba home.
3) Investing in Your Family’s Future
Not only is your new home a financial investment, it is a lifestyle investment too! By choosing a new home in a new neighbourhood, you are also choosing new schools and community clubs for your children, new shopping centres and green spaces to explore as well as opportunities to meet new people.
4) Less Risk
With inflation at an extremely low rate and Manitoba’s economic stability, you are better able to financially plan for your family’s future. Your investment in a new built home is secure. Investing in a new home guarantees return.
5) Reliable Banks
The Canadian banking system was recently named the safest and more reliable in the world by a report released by the World Economic Forum. Our banks see the value in buying a new built home and continue to offer mortgages on good investments. Banks/Credit Unions have made purchasing a new home even easier with competitive rates and builders mortgages.
6) Energy Efficient
The Canadian Energy Alliance Association has once again named new homes in Manitoba the most energy efficient in Canada. Manitoba’s new homes are Power Smart leaders, ensuring lower monthly bills for you and a lower impact on the environment. Builders are constantly keeping up with new technologies to provide energy efficient homes.
7) Low Emissions
Because new built Manitoba homes are more energy efficient, they produce lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions than older homes. GHG emissions in new built Manitoba homes have decreased by 31.3% and require less than half the energy of older homes to heat and cool despite the larger sized rooms.
8) Your Home Your Way
One of the key benefits to buying a new built home is that you can choose exactly what you want. Home buyers will often take the good with the bad when buying and older home, but with a new built home you can have everything you want just the way you want it!
9) Healthy Home
Today’s homes are built to standards that ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for new home buyers and their families. Tougher safety standards and more efficient building products mean better air flow and quality. When building your home with J&G Homes, you have reassurance knowing exactly what is being used in your new home.
10) Smart from the Start
A new built home allows you to install the very best energy efficient systems during construction, rather than having to spend considerable dollars on renovating older homes to the same standards of efficiency. The energy efficiency of a new built home will ensure that you save energy, reduce your monthly bills, enjoy more comfortable indoor temperatures and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
11) Less Upkeep
Newly built homes do not require the upkeep of older homes; all J&G Homes are built with low or no maintenance materials. Less maintenance means more time to enjoy your new home and less money spent on repairs.
12) Lifestyle
New built homes are designed for the way we live today with open plans and large family rooms, master bedrooms with luxury bathroom and large walk-in closets. There are many more options to choose from when building a home to fit your lifestyle needs and wants!
