If You Know What You Want in Your Next Home, Build Custom
Have a checklist detailing your ideal house? Custom may be the route for you.
Whether you’ve lived in a few homes that weren’t quite right or whether your lifestyle and family size demand a certain set of qualities in a home, a custom build is the best way to get what you want from your home.
It’s become a common story in the last few years: someone decides to buy a home, makes a list of their “must-haves,” views a variety of homes in their area that may or may not feature said “must-haves,” makes a few offers, loses repeatedly, and ends up either giving up, breaking their budget, or moving into a home that barely has any of those “must-haves.” Especially in the seller’s market that has dominated the Charlotte and Research Triangle areas recently, buyers often end up settling for homes far different than the ones they once dreamed of.
If you’re looking for a starter home and aren’t too picky about its exact style and details, today’s market might serve you just fine! But if you know just what you’re looking for in your next home, consider a custom home build.
Build to Your Lifestyle
Even relatively new existing homes were built for a lifestyle that may not feel relevant anymore. Many aspects of our daily lives have shifted since the lockdowns of early COVID, from more remote work to increased time outdoors. Plus, the number of rooms and types of spaces a home will require depends heavily on the size of your family, the frequency of your hosting, and your tastes when it comes to how you spend your free time.
Increase Efficiency
Building a custom home means no space or budget is wasted. Instead, you’re able to create the very best versions of the spaces that make sense for your lifestyle, instead of paying for rooms and features you know you won’t use or need. No more buying homes with huge dining rooms that you know will only collect dust and drive up energy costs — focus on the features that will make your life more enjoyable. Plus, today’s technology allows for better energy efficiency and more sustainable practices.
Express Your Personality
Your home should reflect your personal style and include the particular amenities you find comforting and relaxing. While many people buy homes only to adapt them and make updates and additions to fit their needs and personality, building a custom home allows you to express yourself right from the start! Choosing materials, colors, finishes and layouts can be an extremely personal process, and only building custom allows you to take the reins on these key aspects of your new home.
