5 Myths About Buying a New Construction Home

June is National Homeownership Month, making it the perfect time to separate fact from fiction—especially when it comes to new construction homes. At Robertson Homes, we hear it all the time: “Isn’t building a new home more expensive?” or “Don’t you have to wait forever to move in?” The truth may surprise you.

Let’s bust five common myths about buying a new construction home:

Myth 1: New Homes Are Always More Expensive

Reality: While base prices may be slightly higher than used homes, new construction offers long-term savings through energy efficiency, fewer repairs, and minimal maintenance. Plus, you can avoid costly renovations by choosing modern finishes upfront.

Myth 2: You’ll Wait Forever to Move In

Reality: Many of our homes are already under construction or move-in ready! Robertson Homes offers quick move-in options throughout Metro Detroit, so you can settle in without the long wait.

Myth 3: You Can’t Personalize Anything

Reality: With new construction, you can have the opportunity to choose the finishes, flooring, cabinetry, and more—so your home reflects your style from day one.

Myth 4: New Homes Are All in the Middle of Nowhere

Reality: Our communities are thoughtfully placed near parks, shopping, dining, and top-rated schools. Whether you want walkability or wooded views, we build where people want to live.

Myth 5: The Process Is Complicated

Reality: Robertson Homes 80 years of experience makes the process clear and easy. From mortgage pre-approval to design choices to move-in day, our experienced team is with you at every step.
