If you are on the fence, about building your own home, don’t be; a custom home is an extension of you and your outlined priorities when it comes to daily living. In fact, the benefits of living in a custom home exceed the expected pleasure and satisfaction that one might anticipate.
Some compelling reasons to build instead of buy are:
Endless options. The choices are endless when it comes to building your custom home; from hardware to fixtures, lay-out to landscaping, you hold the key to what your house will be. This freedom is liberating, and can result in your once-in-a-lifetime home, enjoyed by your family for generations to come.
Enhanced efficiency. A newer home is going to be more efficient, and a custom home with energy-efficient features will be optimally effective at reducing your family’s carbon footprint and reducing utility costs over time.
Easy maintenance. Quite simply, the upkeep is easier and cheaper with newer construction. Certainly, the more amenities, options, and features your home has, the more maintenance you will face, however, you won’t have to worry about issues related to wear-and-tear, like a leaky roof, right away.
Future investment. A custom home is a future investment that will likely pay-off one day, should you decide to sell. It is the most pragmatic to opt for high-end fixtures, features, and options that will retain value, such as appliances or hardware, with the idea that your home will appeal to a wider range of discriminating buyers down the road.
Healthier home. It is likely that a new custom home will be a healthier environment for you and your family, devoid of mold, allergens, or toxins that older construction may present. You can choose non-toxic paints and healthier finishes for your custom construction, creating a healthier home for your family.
Overall satisfaction. Building your own custom home will provide greater overall satisfaction when you have moved in. You will have the layout, space, and features that you have identified as fitting your lifestyle which contributes to a sense of convenience and ease when living there.
