There are currently no new listings of new construction homes in Birmingham, Michigan, but check back frequently for updates or take a look at the new homes available in nearby Troy or Royal Oak.
• Good – Less maintenance. Since everything has been newly constructed, you’ll have less to worry about such as roof leakage, mold or pre-homeowner’s desire to fix something themselves instead of paying a professional.
• Bad/Good – Although not really that bad, one of the downsides is you may not see as big a growth in the investment side for quite a while because the house is new and considered a premium. The good news is, when you do sell, you’ll have a newer house as opposed to one that was built in the 1970’s.
• Bad – If it’s a new neighborhood and you're one of the first buyers you may have lots of construction traffic going through building up the homes around you. Workers sometimes start up their machines at 7 a.m.
