👉 What to consider before BUYING a house? 👉 Is it CHEAPER to buy or build a house? 👉 Basic recommendations to avoid making a mistake when deciding BUYING A HOUSE OR BUILDING A HOUSE I imagine you've wondered at some point whether it's a good idea to build or buy a house. I'm guessing you've asked a thousand different opinions, and they'll all be different. But for you: Which do you think is the best option? BUYING a house or BUILDING it from scratch. To clarify what you're going to see, let's look at the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of each option. Advantages of BUYING a house Immediacy effect: It's immediately available. You go out and explore the market; you see something you like, and in a couple of weeks you become the happy owner of a new home. Zero work relationships: You'll avoid architects, bricklayers, builders, etc. “Killing two birds with one stone”: In the same purchase, you'll be resolving the search for land to build on. Disadvantages of BUYING pre-built homes Impersonal design: The house was designed for someone else and may not be what you had envisioned. Whether you're happy with it will depend on your degree of flexibility to adapt to something that was designed for someone else (or for NO ONE in particular). The cost of renovations: You have to consider the investment required to adapt it to your needs. Renovating floors, replacing openings, renewing wall coverings, etc., as in bathrooms. The condition of the installations: A house over 30 years old will likely need to replace its infrastructure. What you can't see: Before buying a home, it's important to seek advice if you have the slightest suspicion of hidden problems. Let's look at other points to help you decide between building a house or buying one. Advantages of BUILDING a house Custom design: Since it's a commissioned project, you'll know it will be tailored to your needs. Designing a house guarantees you'll be able to meet your specific needs. No indirect costs: In home construction, there will be no costs for demolition, renovations, or repairs. Possibility of phased construction: Since it's part of a complete project, it will be easier to build your house in a more organized manner. Less chance of hidden defects: Having a house under construction guarantees you'll know how it was built. Disadvantages of BUILDING a house Building a house requires you to participate in the construction process: Advantage or disadvantage. You'll have to read what I wrote above again... Construction times: Building houses is not for the faint of heart. Human relations: In home construction, many people participate in the construction process, and you have to be prepared to "coexist" in harmony. CONCLUSIONS ABOUT BUYING OR BUILDING A HOUSE Let's look at some points to help you decide whether it's better to build or buy a used home. Economically speaking, the costs of building from scratch compared to those of a pre-built home depend on countless variables: the geographic area, the market value of the properties. Comparing the central areas of a city with the outskirts, whether it's a large city or a small one, is not the same. So, let's look at some conclusions: 1) Before closing a deal to BUY a house, ALWAYS consult with a professional for their technical opinion on the decision. 2) For those wondering whether it's cheaper to build a house or buy one, keep this equation in mind: When buying a house, the final price is the result of the PURCHASE + the RENOVATION costs. 3) If you're not very patient, my recommendation is to BUY a pre-built home. Building is NOT for the faint of heart. 4) If you find one of those "can't-pass" deals, for example, a property in very good condition at a more than reasonable price, in a location you like, NONE of the advice I've given you so far will be of much use: your best option is to buy a house. 5) If you're someone who's interested in checking how each part of the house is built (to sleep soundly), BUILDING a house FROM SCRATCH will be ideal. BUYING A PRE-BUILT HOUSE OR BUILDING: THE FINAL OPINION I still recommend building, for the opportunity to dream up a project and participate in the process that will take it from drawing to construction... but ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS with the help of a conscientious professional who knows how to guide us through the process. The other alternative, that of improvising and MAKING THE PATH as we make mistakes, is NOT recommended at all. Building has to be an ENJOYABLE and PLEASANT experience. If precautions aren't taken to ensure this is the case (and they can be), it's preferable to BUY pre-built homes. VIDEO EDITING ➤ https://www.instagram.com/matiseia/?h...
