MISTAKE: #1 UNDERESTIMATING THE PROCESS

When done right, the process of building a new home can be one of life's most rewarding adventures. Watching your vision come to life and moving into your tailor-made home is the stuff of dreams.

However, you are probably aware that the process of building a new home can be anything but the stuff of dreams.

The first mistake to avoid in building your dream home is to not underestimate the process. It can be time-consuming and complex. It’s important to do your research and plan accordingly.

While the idea of building a new home is exciting, it isn’t for everybody.

Here’s a quick quiz to determine if building new construction is right for you...

Do you have the time and patience over the course of the next year or two to commit to all the details of building a new home?

Do you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking for?

Do you know where you want to build?

Do you have a floor plan, or general layout in mind that will work for you?

Do you have a builder in mind?

Do you love the design process?

Are you detail-oriented?

How well do you deal with changes and problems?

If you answered "no" to many of the questions, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t build a new home, but that does indicate that you have some thinking to do

Building a new home requires a lot of planning, attention to detail, and the stomach for the inevitable challenges that will arise during the process

If none of that is exciting or seemingly worth it to you great! That means you may be better suited for a resale home And if you love the idea of building new because you want an updated, lightly used, maintenance-free home, our market has plenty of those options for you.
