New Home Construction: 6 Reasons to Build Your New Home
Ask any realtor, and they’ll tell you that home buying always involves compromise. Either the kitchen’s not as big as you’d like, there’s no separate dining room, or there really aren’t enough bedrooms.
But wait, isn’t this too important a decision to be filled with compromises? Yes, it is. And there is another way.
New home construction puts you in charge and means that you can get exactly what you want. You choose the plot; you call the shots. Compromise, what compromise?
Let’s explore 6 pretty-great reasons why you should build a new home.
1. Forget Costly Bidding Wars
With home listings at record lows, bidding wars are a fact of life for most home buyers. Buyers are actually being frozen out of the market because they keep getting outbid.
Homes are moving fast, with half of the homes going under contract in less than two weeks. This frenzied market can lead people to pay more, make compromises, and ultimately get a home that’s far from what they wanted.
Instead of all this stress, imagine all you need to do is choose the ideal layout for your home. At Oevering Homes, we can even purchase the lot you have your eye on, or build on land you already own. And after that decision, it’s as easy as choosing the floor plan that works best for your family.
2. Zero Remodel Expenses
Buying a home is stressful enough. After that, many people then start a never-ending list of renos, revamps, and decorating projects that keep them busy for years to come. All the time, the dollars are flowing in one direction, and time for more important things is ebbing away.
Let’s take a kitchen reno as an example. Most people spend anywhere from $25,001-$50,000 on a new kitchen! That work all has to be done while you’re living in the house, so you need to factor in spending on eating out and takeout as well.
In contrast, new home builders let you choose your dream kitchen before the foundation is complete. You don’t just get your dream cabinets. You get your ideal layout as well.
You also get a home that is the right size for your family. You don’t need to worry about extending your home a few years down the line or putting up with cramped living arrangements.
3. A Truly Customized Home
However nice the house you buy is, you’re always working with someone else’s layout and preferences. No doubt your previous homeownership experience has taught you a lot about what you do and don’t want in a house!
By choosing the home building route, you are in total control of the design. You choose the right tried and true floorplan and then everything else is down to you. From the kitchen and bathroom fixtures to the flooring and decoration, you can get everything just how you want it, the first time.
When planning your new construction home, check out your builder’s custom home gallery. You’ll see the level of finish they can achieve. You can also gain inspiration for your own home.
4. Save Stress
New home construction may not sound like a relaxing activity! But when you work with experienced new home builders, you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like.
Look for a builder that is keen to listen to you and work with you through the process. Let them handle the permits and the construction while you have input into the fun parts.
The best home building companies have the process down to an art. They will have every stage clearly outlined. This includes consultation and proposal, site plan, and selection meeting.
5. Help Obtaining Financing
New home construction loans are an essential piece of the homebuilding puzzle. Before you can start to build a new home, you need to be pre-approved by a lender. This means that you have a guarantee that you have the funds in place to see the project through to its conclusion.
At Oevering Homes, we handle the messy construction loan, meaning we finance the build and you purchase the home and lot/land from Oevering at the end of the build! You just need a preapproval letter from your lender.
If you don’t have a trusted lender or a preapproval letter already, the team at Oevering has recommendations for lenders that we have worked with, know their process, and know the level of result they achieve. This can help you to obtain the financing that you need to get your project underway.
6. More Affordable Than You Think
Working with one of the largest homebuilders in the US might set you back a pretty penny. But working with a local Western Wisconsin firm has many advantages.
They understand the local market and what people are looking for. They can also offer fantastic value for money.
Oevering Homes was established for this very reason. We were founded with the goal of building affordable homes for the people of Western Wisconsin.
The last few years were tough years for new homes construction because of bottlenecks in international supply lines. However, we are seeing a reverse in that trend, with a return to moderate prices. That means it is a great time for you to build a new home!
