Patty Made it Happen!!!
"We just wanted to say thank you for all your help in selling our home in Monument. You were there from the very beginning helping us with preparing our house for sale. You gently advised us on what changes to make and your advice worked; our home sold relatively quickly and for a good price. Living in Florida and selling our home in Monument was not the easiest thing to do but you made it seem very easy; we truly appreciate you taking care of everything for us. To top everything else off you put us in touch with a great realtor down in Cape Coral, after you had interviewed him for us, and we found our dream home in Florida. We heartily recommend you to anyone who is either buying or selling a home."
You have a story to tell about me. You've worked with me, and I've helped you buy or sell a home. I need your feedback. Others need your feedback, too! Please take a moment to fill out this form and tell me how I did... 
Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New or Buying Old
New homes typically have a higher sales price than comparable existing homes, and buyers are usually willing to spend more on a new home because of lower maintenance costs. Builders' warranties on new homes, when combined with a new roof, appliances, and major systems, usually make major repairs unnecessary and help to counter a slower initial rate of appreciation.
Census Bureau Housing Surveys suggests that operating costs are lowest for brand new homes and slightly higher for relatively new existing homes. Operating costs per square foot of living space are consistently higher for progressively older existing homes. Utility costs represent the largest factor in operating costs. Energy consumption per square foot depends on the size of the home, the insulation and quality of the windows, air leakage and the efficiency of the furnace.
New homes require fewer expenditures for routine maintenance. The cost of maintenance first increases with age, then declines, so you will generally spend less maintaining a home built before 1960 than for a home built between 1970 and 1975.
