Top 5 Reasons Custom Homes Are a Good Choice

When buyers begin their house hunt they often face an initial decision on whether to bid on an established property or to design a custom home on a plot of land of their choosing. While there are some pros and cons for both ownership options, many homeowners are now finding that a custom home option is better for their family’s personality, and character, and offers the lifestyle they need.

There is a common misconception that designing a custom-built home is complicated and expensive. We are here to explain some of the reasons why a custom-built home may be a good choice for you and your family.

#1 – Exactly What You Want & Need

When purchasing an established property, homeowners must learn to live with what that home provides unless they plan an extensive renovation in the near future.

This could mean an inadequate number of bedrooms or baths, a missing home office, less efficient home systems, and a long list of details that may be missing in what is wanted or needed.

Conversely, custom-built homes are designed and built to the exact specifications of the owner. From the number of beds and baths right down to the style and color of the flooring and everything in between. No two families are alike and this allows for customization of needs and wants based on their personality, character, and home vision.

#2 – Build Around Your Budget

There is a common misconception regarding budgeting in a custom home. Many buyers falsely believe that a custom-built home will be too expensive and out of their budget. This is actually not true.

Custom homes can actually be a budget-friendly method to get into the housing market. By opting for a custom home you are picking and choosing the options and additions that mean the most to you rather than settling for options already existing in a traditional home.

Get the style and size home with all the details that matter to you and your family when designing with your contractor. Many already existing homes have aspects that you may want to remodel or renovate because they are not what you want or need. With a custom home, you bypass all of that by making it your own on your budget.

#3 – Ideal Location

We all know that in real estate the three most important things are location, location, and location.

Given today’s tight real estate market, you may not find a home in your ideal location for the price you want. Building a home on a plot of land means you choose where and the style of home you want. In fact, many people that choose to build stay in that home for years and years because they chose the perfect location for them and their families.

#4 – Professional Design

Most contractors work with experienced and professional designers and architects that will work within the budget and needs of home buyers to create the home of their dreams. Professional builders and designers bring years of experience in how to create a home with craftsmanship they take great pride in.

#5 – Access to Innovations

If you are a home buyer that values the most efficient appliances, sustainable materials, and energy-efficient living such as solar systems, advanced plumbing, electrical systems, and so on, then the process of building a custom home may be your best bet to get exactly the newest and best innovations on the market.
