Have you ever wondered if you should have your new home custom built? If you’ve been looking around for the perfect home, but you can’t seem to find the right property, consider building a home instead. You can get exactly what you want and you won’t have to waste time and energy searching for a house.
The prospect of building a home can feel daunting, but it’s easier than you might think. Before you dismiss the idea, consider these reasons to contact a home builder to get your ideal home.
- Your new home will come with important warranties
When buying a new home, it’s important to have warranties in place for certain things, specifically your roof and some major appliances. Home builders do offer warranties, but sometimes they’re limited to 30 years.
That might seem like a long time, but if you buy a home in the middle of the warranty, you won’t get the full 30 years. Some home builders provide lifetime warranties for shingles; if you can find a company that does this, you’ll be in a better position.
Although you can get a warranty on your roof, it’s important to make sure it covers the right types of damage. Leak coverage is often limited, but it could be fine if you have additional coverage through your homeowners insurance.
- It’s not too expensive to build a new home
When you look at the final sale price for the average home, you’ll find that it’s more expensive to build a new home than to buy one. However, the price per square foot is about the same. Newly built homes seem more expensive because most people who build want a bigger home.
If you’re on a strict budget, you’ll probably find it easier to build a home in a specific location where it’s cheaper to live and there are fewer regulations.
When it comes to buying land, you’ll find better deals in rural areas where you can get cheap acreage. The money you’ll save on land can be rolled into the cost of building your home, which can balance out the higher cost.
- Having your dream home is worth the effort
When you build your home from scratch, you’ll need to put in some time and effort to make your dream a reality. Although, the effort will be more fun than running around to open houses and being disappointed when you don’t like what you see.
Building your dream home will be a fun task. You’ll get to dream up everything you want, from the layout to the space in the kitchen to your windows. You’ll get to choose all your fixtures from the beginning as an upgrade, or you can go with the builder’s standard fixtures and swap them out yourself.
There will be a lot of paperwork involved, phone calls, and back-and-forth, but it’s all worth it in the end. When all is said and done, you’ll get your ideal, cozy, comfortable home.
- You can build your ideal kitchen
If you normally spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen, you know the value of having ample counter space to prepare your meals. It’s hard to prepare meals when you don’t have the right setup.
The average American spends 37 minutes per day preparing food, serving food, and cleaning up. However, that’s just the average. If you cook for other people, you probably spend at least twice that amount of time in the kitchen. If that applies to you, you’ll love having a custom-built kitchen.
When you build your home from scratch, you can get your ideal kitchen. For instance, you can set the exact counter height, choose your ideal cabinets, determine how long and wide you want your counters, and build your ideal kitchen island.
- You’ll avoid certain renovations
When you buy a pre-existing home, you’ll need to perform renovations to some degree. No home will be perfect right away, and you’ll find yourself making a list of things to revamp.
When you build your home from scratch, you won’t need to perform renovations to make your home feel cozier. You can tell the builder all of your requirements and have your home built to your specifications from the start.
You deserve your dream home
You might luck out and find an existing home that suits your needs. However, if you want to bypass the frustration of searching high and low for a perfect home, connect with a home builder and get the custom dream home you want and deserve.
