Hello, Beautiful: 7 Brand-New Homes for the Brand-New Year

If your New Year’s resolutions involve buying a new house, you’re in luck: We’re just the folks who can help you cross that item off your list. And we’re not just talking about a house that’s new to you—we mean never-been-lived-in kind of new.

Think about it: New construction means a blank canvas. No weekends spent scraping off tacky wallpaper applied by owners of yore. Pristine floors that haven’t been scratched up by somebody else’s Samoyed. And, our favorite part, showers and bathtubs that have been untouched … until you.

With new construction, you can go where no human has gone before.

If that tickles your fancy, allow us to ring in your new year with our favorite new construction options—all for sale and all still blessed with that “new home” smell. Resolve to check them out.
