If you’re considering purchasing a new home at Esplanade at Turkey Creek, you may be comparing base model prices at the sales center with the resale homes on the market. While the base price of a new home may seem significantly lower, it’s important to consider the true cost of bringing a new home up to the level of a fully upgraded resale home.
The Hidden Costs of Buying New
💰 Design Center Upgrades – On average, homebuyers invest an additional $150,000 in upgrades after going into contract. These include premium flooring, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, appliances, and more—features that many resale homes already have.
🌿 Landscaping & Backyard Installation – Once you move in, you’ll need to complete the backyard, which typically costs $50,000 or more in Esplanade. This includes hardscaping, plants, irrigation, outdoor living spaces, and additional features like pergolas or fire pits.
🪟 Window Coverings – New construction homes do not come with window coverings, requiring an additional $7,000 investment on average for blinds, shades, or custom drapery.
⏳ Move-In Delays & Extra Work – With a new build, you may face months of waiting before your backyard is completed, leaving you in a construction zone with no outdoor space to enjoy. Resale homes, on the other hand, are fully turn-key and ready to move in today with all upgrades and landscaping complete.
Resale Homes: A Smarter Investment
When you add up the true cost of purchasing a new home and completing all necessary upgrades, you’ll find that resale homes offer exceptional value—often at a comparable or even better price than a newly built home with all the same features.
✔ Move-in Ready – No waiting, no extra work—just unpack and start enjoying the resort lifestyle.
✔ Luxury Upgrades Included – Many resale homes already feature high-end finishes, premium appliances, custom window coverings, and professionally designed backyards.
✔ Established Neighborhood – No construction noise, dust, or waiting for landscaping to mature.
