The Advantages of Buying New

Our friends at Shea Homes Arizona have come up with a nice list of reasons why it's better to buy new than to buy a foreclosed or short-sale home. Here's a few of them:

• No one has used your shower or your toilet except you.
• There is no need to rip out zebra striped wall paper or orange shag carpeting—your Shea Home is designed for you and your family. 
• You don’t need to worry about hidden damage like mold or termite infestations. 
• No one else has let their dog pee on your carpet. 
• No one has stolen your doorknobs or ceiling fans.

The Shea blog promises to go into more detail later this month.
