Why Millennials are Choosing Custom Builds Over Resale

Millennials are reshaping the housing market, and one trend stands out: a preference for custom-built homes over resale properties. As a generation that values flexibility, modernity, and sustainability, millennials find that new builds provide exactly what they’re looking for.  

Montchanin Builders offers new-construction luxury townhome communities designed to meet the unique lifestyle demands of today’s millennial homebuyers, delivering style, affordability, and flexibility. Here’s why a custom build is becoming the go-to choice for this generation. 

Affordable Luxury: Why New Builds Offer More Bang for Your Buck 

Walking into a brand-new home is an experience like no other. With a custom build, everything is pristine, modern, and tailored to your tastes. Unlike resale homes, you don’t have to worry about outdated kitchens or aging fixtures. New builds by Montchanin Builders offer high-quality finishes and state-of-the-art amenities, allowing millennial buyers to enjoy the best in luxury living at an affordable price. 

Beyond aesthetics, new builds eliminate the headaches that often come with resale homes, like unexpected repairs or outdated systems. There’s no need to budget for a new furnace, windows, or roof—everything is fresh, under warranty, and built to last.  

Choose Your Own Floorplan and Customize Features 

One of the greatest benefits of a custom build is the ability to select a floorplan and personalize it to your needs. For millennials who love to entertain, open layouts with gourmet kitchens—like those found in our new construction townhomes in Kennett Square—are ideal. Features like large kitchen islands, high-end appliances, and ample counter space make hosting easy and enjoyable. With customization options, you can craft a space that aligns perfectly with your lifestyle and tastes. 

Adaptable Living Spaces for Changing Needs 

Millennials are also choosing new builds for their adaptable floorplans. The flexibility to create spaces that evolve with life changes—whether it’s setting up a home office, a fitness area, or creating a nursery—is highly appealing. Montchanin Builders offers floorplans, like the Everett and Franklin at Kennett Pointe, that feature customizable options for offices, lofts, or dens, accommodating shifting needs over time. 

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency 

Energy efficiency is a significant factor for Millennials, who are both environmentally conscious and budget-minded. Montchanin Builders incorporates eco-friendly building practices and energy-efficient materials, reducing utility costs and environmental impact. These homes often feature advanced insulation, high-performance windows, and energy-efficient appliances, offering millennials a sustainable lifestyle that aligns with their values. 

 

Local Culture and Recreation 

For millennials seeking a vibrant, community-centered lifestyle, Kennett Square is an ideal fit. Known for its live music, craft breweries, art galleries, and wellness options, downtown Kennett offers a rich mix of modern amenities and local charm. The dining scene stands out, with farm-to-table restaurants, cozy cafes, small-batch bakeries, and fresh offerings from family-owned farms and co-ops. 

Kennett Square is also minutes from the renowned Longwood Gardens and offers access to hiking trails, river activities, and biking paths in the Brandywine Valley. Annual events like the Mushroom Festival, Summerfest, and Winter Market create a lively calendar of activities. 

Prime Location with Easy Commutes 

Location is key for millennial buyers who often work in cities but desire quieter living spaces. Montchanin Builders’ new construction townhomes in Pennsylvania offer convenient access to major cities like Philadelphia and Wilmington, making commuting both easy and sustainable.  

Investing in the Future: Long-Term Value of New Construction 

Buying a custom new build is also a smart financial move. New construction homes offer a strong resale value. Millennials increasingly view homeownership as a long-term investment, and new builds provide stability, fewer maintenance costs, and less need for renovations over time.
