Forget Fixer Uppers: 3 Reasons to Build New in 2023

As you consider your housing options for 2023, building a new home deserves your careful consideration. While fixer-uppers and established homes have their appeal with potential cost savings and mature landscaping, new construction offers significant advantages including the ability to fully customise your new home and its layout as well as being able to incorporate energy efficiency from the start.


There will also be limited maintenance for the first few years – just another benefit of building a new home with the award-winning team at Ross North Homes. Before you dive into renovating an older property or settle for an existing home that doesn’t quite match your needs, explore why starting from scratch may be the smarter choice for you in the coming year.

Avoid Surprises: New homes have modern systems and features. Plumbing, electrical, and other critical components must all meet current relevant building codes and safety standards. Appliances and fixtures are new, under warranty, and energy efficient, so there are no lurking issues to discover.

Lower Maintenance: New homes require less upkeep since everything is new (and under warranty!). You can enjoy several years of minimal maintenance which allows you more time to enjoy the home rather than constantly repairing or replacing items.

Made For You: Our expert pre-start and design team will help you choose the flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and many other design elements to suit your budget, taste, and style. You’ll get to enjoy making all these selections during the design phase, rather than the stress and cost of renovating an existing home.

In summary, new home construction provides significant benefits for homebuyers in 2023 and beyond and delivers an unparalleled living experience, especially when you build your new home with Ross North Homes.


While fixer-uppers and established homes may seem appealing in their potential, building a new home with Ross North Homes provides peace of mind about the quality and integrity of your new home, giving you access to modern amenities and cutting-edge design so you can focus on enjoying your new home, instead of repairing it. Why deal with costly surprises behind walls or a layout that doesn’t quite suit your needs? Build a home with us that is perfectly tailored to your lifestyle and designed for modern, stress-free living.
