Buying a house…it’s the dream, right? A sturdy roof and strong walls for you and your whole family. Comfort and security inside, visual appeal outside. Not just another building – your house is your home.
But house shopping isn’t easy, and after a while, it isn’t particularly fun.
Don’t let those model homes and fixer-uppers get you down. If you can’t find your perfect dream home, guess what? You can build your own dream home.
If you think building a custom home is just a pipe dream, think again. Custom builders are more accessible than ever, and people just like you get unique dream homes built all the time.
And if you think the costs outweigh the benefits, just read on – here’s five great reasons to build your own custom home:
1. Greater Energy Efficiency
Over the course of the years you’ll live in any one place, you’ll use loads of energy in various forms. Why move into a place that wastes energy from the very moment you turn the lights on? Newer homes built by experienced builders use today’s most advanced methods of insulating, directing resources, wiring, and more to keep new homes as energy efficient as possible, saving you thousands of dollars over time.
2. Your Family’s Health
Many older homes were constructed before modern health and safety codes were implemented. This can be a frightening fact when you think about keeping your family inside, sleeping among old chemicals and rusty nails. With a modern custom house, you know that the current codes are met and reliable for years to come. No additional costs from surprise fixes, upgrades or enhancements – from the beginning your custom house is safe and sound.
3. Technology You Want
With a lot of newly built tract homes you’ll find plenty of bells and whistles that you’ll never need. When you build your own home, you know that you’re only spending money on the things you truly want or need. As a bonus, if you have a good experience with your builder, then later on down the road, if you decide you do want some of those extra bells and whistles, you can certainly add them in using the same company with the same excellent service.
4. Better Investment
When it’s time to sell, it’s almost certain that your custom home will yield a greater return on the investment than you’d get with a preexisting home. Custom kitchens in particular are a very attractive feature for many shoppers and can help your home price soar above the rest.
5. Personal Satisfaction
When you build your own custom dream home, you’ve got an emotional bond with it before you even move in. You and your family don’t need that period of adjustment to make this house yours, because it’s naturally yours from the beginning.
If this is exactly what you’re looking for in existing homes but not finding, then consider a custom built home. Life’s too short to keep looking – get started on your own unique dream home today! Call Alair Homes Collingwood to get started.
