1. Misconception: New homes are more expensive than pre-owned homes 

Reality: When people hear the phrase “new home” the word “expensive” comes with it. The beauty of working with a custom home builder is the ability to customize your budget. You can design your home by adding features you can’t live without and taking out features you feel you don’t need. With pre-owned homes you have to spend time remodeling old appliances and outdated features that aren’t your style.
