• Buying a new house with construction or prior to construction, gives the freedom to have it built without lifting a paintbrush, hammer or finger.
  
  
• Newly built homes come with all the latest designed features like open kitchens, free eat-in places, walk-in closets and huge bathrooms, so you don’t have worry for anything.

The Cons

• Brand new homes are costly as compared to per-constructed homes which can be easily bought for 30% cheaper.
   
• Whatever high end facilities you read in the plan add up to the 
  actual cost. The builder quotes higher price of the features which have been less installed by yourself.
  
  
• The advertisement cost of the builder is also added to the package that raises the price of the house.
  
  
• New colonies and residential sectors are developed out of the city where you may have to compromise with the basic amenities like supermarkets, schools, college, hospitals etc.
  
  
• In case you are one of the first ones to move in that locality, you might be living in a zone of construction for many years.
  
  
• It may be hard to get socialize for many years as the neighborhood is still under development.
  
  
• A new colony has no charm as what you find in the older localities.
  
  
• New localities are built with smaller houses so you will miss the lush lawns and big backyards. Your neighbor's door will be just adjacent to your main door and you might also sharing the same lawn.
  
  
• You may find new construction interesting but that is not the ideal choice as there are several lifestyle factors to be considered. You must not forget that a new house is like a home without neighbourhood.

• The last factor that is considered least is relocating a house, that can be a stressful job if done without hiring a professional moving service.
