Buying a housing development or building your own home both meet the needs of living. The only difference is some limitations. Some people are interested in buying land to build their own homes, while others are interested in buying a housing development. But for those still undecided, today we'll compare and contrast the two to help you make a more informed decision about owning a home in the future.

Self-built homes
Advantages
1. You can design your own home, truly tailored to your preferences.
2. You can choose your own location, whether it's near a community or far from congestion.
3. Reduce maintenance costs by selecting the highest quality materials. Having a well-designed and well-designed design and materials from the outset helps extend maintenance periods in the future.
4. You can control construction costs yourself. If you're not satisfied with any parts, you can immediately notify the contractor to fix them.
5. You don't have to pay annual common area fees and don't have to go through the hassle of requesting permission from the juristic person for any changes to your home.

Self-built homes
Disadvantages
1. Choosing strong, durable materials to your liking can lead to cost overruns.
2. It's quite complicated and cumbersome. In addition to constantly checking for completion, if we lack the knowledge of construction, we could be cheated or taken advantage of.
3. Contractors abandon their work. Some houses may need to be completed by at least 3-4 contractors. This wastes time and money, but also creates a sense of disappointment.
4. We cannot choose our future neighbors.
5. We must be careful about safety. Without security cameras or barricades, thieves can easily break into our homes.

Projected Housing, Village, and Housing Estate
Advantages
1. It's easy to plan and allocate a budget for purchasing a home.
2. If you find a project you like, you can sign a purchase contract immediately.
3. Many amenities are available, such as a fitness center, a park, and a swimming pool.
4. It's safer because of a good security system.
5. The environment within the project is relatively good. As the saying goes, buying a housing estate is buying a community. There are no parking issues blocking the road in front of the house, and there are no problems with neighbors' endless home additions.
No need to supervise or manage the construction yourself.

Ultimately, whether you build a home yourself or a projected home, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on the needs of the resident. After carefully weighing and comparing the two, you'll likely have a clear picture of which home style best suits your needs and meets your needs. If you're still undecided, you might want to visit a project's model home to see the actual atmosphere of the home you're considering for your future purchase.
