There are a variety of reasons many homebuyers prefer purchasing a brand-new home instead of an older home.

Some love the idea of moving into a home that’s never been lived in by anyone else. (Think of that crowd as the “new-car smell” aficionados of homeownership.) Others relish the opportunity to put their personal stamp on a home—tailoring the model, layout, and finishes to their particular tastes.

And then there’s the segment of buyers who are simply turned off by older homes that will likely require work and upkeep. They assume—rightly in most cases—that a newly built home will mean lower maintenance costs.

However, if you have your eye on a new home because you expect absolute perfection from Day One, think again. New-home buyers must be prepared for issues that might arise, according to John Heidenry, managing partner at Red Bridge Condos, in Hoboken, NJ. He has been building luxury homes for nearly two decades.

If you’ve ever wondered how much a reality-show home makeover adds to a property’s value—especially one by HGTV royalty Chip and Joanna Gaines—check out this sweet little cottage in Waco, TX.

It’s now listed for $339,900, more than three times what a single mom snagged it for back in 2013.

She paid around $89,900 for the 1,814-square-foot abode for the Gaineses’ “Fixer Upper” show on HGTV. The three-bedroom, one-bath fixer-upper—or the “Cottage Bungalow,” as Chip dubbed it—needed extreme TLC.

If you’re feeling the financial crunch right now, you’re not alone. Ever since inflation reached a record high of 9.1% this past summer (the highest it’s been in 40 years), life has started to feel pretty unaffordable.

Add the double-whammy of increased energy prices and the oncoming holiday season, and it’s gearing up to be an expensive end to 2022. And a wallet-busting new year as well.

It’s little wonder that everyone seems to be trying to save money in their home. So we spoke to home and energy experts across the country to get their insider tips for the best ways to save on basic living expenses each month. Here’s what they had to say.

If you’re a fan of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, you might be frustrated by the scarcity of his iconic works.

At the moment, there is only one Wright-designed home available in the country. Located in Central California, it’s listed for $4,250,000.

But if you’re interested in a home built by one of Wright’s students, you’re in luck. His students have spread out across the U.S. and created some swell dwellings.

We found five homes that were designed (or claim to have been done) by architects Wright mentored. See if you can spot some of Wright’s signature elements in these unusual abodes.

For those of you who thought you’d seen the last of Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall working together on “Flip or Flop,” surprise—they’re back!

These two have returned for one more episode, titled “Flip or Flop: The Final Flip,” where they renovate a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2200-square-foot house in Sunset Beach, CA. They’d bought this property way back in 2020 for $925,000, figuring they could spend $200,000 to renovate it, and then sell it for about $1.5 million.

But that was two years, a bitter breakup, and a few new reality shows and spouses ago.

While they congenially worked together on the flip itself, it was not lost on us that they didn’t appear together in the interviews and commentary on the project. They spoke separately about everything they learned on the show over the past 10 years.

Sales of new homes have suffered, but plenty of projects remain active. Homebuilders have yet to make steep cuts to their payrolls, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.
