For over 30 years, Boone Homes has focused on making the home-building and buying process simpler for people throughout the greater Richmond area. We know the benefits of buying a new-construction home are practically endless—but now, when used homes are flying off the real estate market in record time and for record prices, buying from a builder is even more lucrative. See why you should consider new construction for your next home, and why Boone Homes should be your top choice for the builder.  

Less surprise costs 
Buying a used home in today’s market is competitive, and many buyers are forgoing inspections to beat out other offers. But skipping out on inspections means you won’t know about costly replacements, renovations or upgrades that are needed until after you’ve signed on the dotted line. While some homeowners luck out during this process, others are faced with foundation issues, electrical or plumbing replacements, roof repairs and more—costing them thousands of dollars after purchase. Even if there’s no major structural issues with a used home, updating the interiors and exteriors to match your taste can also be expensive.

When you buy a new-construction home from Boone Homes, our team will go over all numbers and figures with buyers when contracts are signed—so there’s no surprises. Your home will be built to the highest standards in the industry, both structurally and aesthetically. New homes come with less overall maintenance, higher energy efficiency and a much smaller chance of costly repairs. Every house by Boone Homes also comes with assistance after closing, where our Service Department professionals will review the quality of your home and address any issues you may have—offering further peace of mind.  

Personalized upon move in 
Our process also allows homeowners to select the floor plan, color palette, features and finishes they want—ensuring the home will fit your vision and preferences on move-in day. Even if you purchase one of our homes halfway through construction for a shorter timeline, you’ll still have ample personalization options. By building new (and custom), your home will be perfectly suited for your family’s needs and built to the highest level of quality. No post-purchase paint jobs or flooring updates required.

Our custom homes also include Green Features that you won’t likely find in a used home. We use exterior structural insulation that performs 15-20% better than standard OSB + House Wrap. Your new construction home will also feature insulated garage walls and ceilings, an energy efficient TRANE 14 SEER heat pump and more! With these features, you will enjoy lower energy bills and a more comfortable, better built home.

New and upcoming communities 
The number of used homes on the market continues to dwindle, creating an even higher level of demand among potential buyers in the market. Competitive tactics, like bidding wars, are driving up the cost of outdated, used homes to astronomical prices—but if you want to skip out on bidding wars and get straight to building a home with all of the benefits of new construction, we have good news.
