Doesn’t it seem like every time you turn around prices are going up because of rising energy costs?
Take gas prices, for instance. How many times have you gone to the pump, paid with a credit card and shut it off at $75 without driving away with a full tank?
How about the fuel surcharges that are added to services like garbage pickup or packages you sent? Even food prices continue to go up because of rising energy prices.
If energy prices have got you down, and you think your new dream home is out of reach, hold onto your dreams while you consider our
NIH Home Energy Package.

Hybrid cars and other new automobiles that get better gas mileage are experiencing a surge in sales today, and many consumers are getting rid of their SUVs because of rising gas prices. In fact, you can pick up a used SUV for a whole lost less money right now.
Maybe you’re considering the used home market because you perceive them to be less expensive, too. Like buying a used car instead of a new one, used homes may have a cheaper price tag, but will it end up costing you more in the long run?
Consider this …
- Used homes generally have low-efficiency furnaces and air conditioners. As energy prices keep rising, your monthly utility bills will, too.
- Old plumbing fixtures will pour out thousands of gallons of water each year, and your water bill may consistently run into three digits.
- How about your indoor living environment? You don’t know what molds, paint additives, glues and toxins are floating around the air in a used house.
- Even the appliances in a used house are often in less-than-peak condition, and they also may rob you every day through inefficiency.
- And the biggest energy thieves of used homes are those old, drafty windows.
When you buy a used home, you’re buying someone else’s life. Used homes were designed for how we lived yesterday — not today. Sure you can invest in all of the updates, but you’ll spend thousands of dollars remodeling and be forced to live with a huge mess in the process.
Yes, used houses may have a lot of hidden issues that you were not even aware of but …
Initially, the answer in many cases is yes. But would you rather pay the lowest price or the lowest cost?
With price you pay once. Today a comparable gas-guzzling vehicle that gets 10 MPG has a lower price than one that gets 35 MPG. Does that vehicle also have the lowest cost?
The reality is, the 10-MPG vehicle may have a lower price initially, but over its lifetime, it will cost much more to operate than the car that gets 35 MPG.
Yes, you could buy a used house for less, but it will cost dramatically more each month you own it. You may inherit energy-guzzling appliances, have less or inadequate insulation, an unhealthy and uncomfortable living environment and — most importantly — the design may not suit your lifestyle without extensive remodeling.

All of these items have costs associated with them — costs that more than exceed the low price you only get once.
