Believe it or not, there are signs to knowing if you are ready to build that home you’ve been thinking of living in your entire life. But sometimes it can be hard to tell what those signs are exactly. Luckily, we’ve learned what some of those are along the way and want to share them with you!

The picture has been painted

If you can picture the layout, what the kitchen countertops will be made of, what kind of lot you’ll need for your home, and what school district you’d like to be in, that’s a pretty good sign.

You’ve done the math

Then there are the finances. You already know what you want your dream home will include and where it would be. If you’ve sat down and ran the numbers on that including what your available finances are before starting down the road of the building a home journey that’s another great sign that you’re ready to start building.

Gotta love new

There are many reasons to like buying brand new things instead of used. With homes it’s no different. When buying an older home there are uncertainties on things like twenty year old plumbing or the roof, but with a new home you know it will be all brand spankin’ new, which means a lot less surprise issues.  In addition, with a new home you can design everything to your specific needs and not have to settle for floor plans and kitchen designs that may not be what you truly desire.

Developments are your jam

The best place to build a new home is a community development. If you really like being inside subdivisions with amenities and family friendly atmosphere then chalk it up to another sign that you are on the right track to your dream home.

There’s a builder…

If you have a specific builder in mind, someone whose work you’ve already seen and admire in a custom homebuilder, then you might have done more research than you think. Finding a builder who fits your style and ideas most certainly shows that you are ready for the custom beauty you want.

How many of our signs did you tick off? The fact is this is a big decision but these steps can show that you’re on your way to your fantasy custom home!
