April is new homes month.  And one of the virtues of a newly constructed home is the savings that come with reduced energy and maintenance expenses.

For example, for routine maintenance expenses, 26% of all homeowners spend $100 or more a month on various upkeep costs.  In fact, 73% of new homeowners spent less than $25 a month on routine maintenance costs.

Homeowners spent 78 cents per square foot per year on electricity and owners of new homes spent 65 cents per square foot per year.  Homes using natural gas spent an average of 53 cents per square foot while new homes spent 38 cents per square foot.
