Choosing the right custom home builder for your project is one of the most important decisions you will make. Unlike production builders, who typically only offer stock floor plans and limited personalization options, custom home builders are dedicated to designing homes that reflect the unique personality of each client. Ideally, you should find a builder with whom you have a long-term relationship and who can meet your needs, budget, and taste. During the selection process, ask prospective builders for references from previous clients and encourage them to show you homes they’ve recently completed. You should also check with local governments to determine what permits you’ll need and how much they cost.

While the upfront costs of a custom home are typically higher than a spec home, they can add up to a greater return on investment in the long run. Because a custom build can be designed around the way you live and include features that will help you age in place, you’ll likely enjoy your home longer than you would if you moved into a resale property.

In addition to promoting accessibility, Universal Design also helps to foster a sense of community and belonging. It can promote social interaction between family members of all ages and abilities by incorporating features that allow everyone to participate. For example, wide doorways and low cabinets can accommodate wheelchairs and strollers, while open floor plans allow for easy maneuverability and promote socializing.

You should also consider that, as a new owner of a custom home, you’ll have to pay increased property taxes. Viores estimates that the additional tax burden for a custom build can run tens of thousands of dollars.

If you are in a hurry to move into your dream home, a spec build may be a better option for you. If you’re relocating for work and need to move before the start of a new school year, a spec home may also be the most viable option for your time frame. However, for retirees or financially secure adults preparing for retirement, it may be the best financial decision to invest in a custom build. With each detail designed around your unique tastes and preferences, you can be sure that your new home will truly feel like home the moment you step through the front door.
