Think you're ready to build a custom home? Find out!

You’re looking for change. You want a bigger home. You’re tired of all the outdated features of your current home. You want to live somewhere that fits your lifestyle. Whatever your reason for considering a new home, now might be the perfect time to start your project.

If you’re still a little unsure of whether building a custom home is right for you or not, we’ve compiled a list of ways for you tell if you’re ready:

You’ve outgrown your current home.

If you live in a two bedroom home and kid number three or four is on the way, then it’s probably time to start thinking about upgrading the size of your home. Adding bedrooms onto a home isn’t always the most cost-effective or viable option. Purchasing a larger home could work, but if you’re going to purchase a new home, wouldn’t it be better if it were the home of your dreams? With a custom home, you can pick out the perfect floor plan, choose where the home is built, and decide on all of the interior and exterior features.

You’re tired of feeling out of place in your home.

Your current home works, but something feels off about it. It’s not yours because you didn’t design the layout or choose all of the details. You could spend the time and money updating the home, but a new coat of paint probably won’t fix some of the issues you’re running into. Instead, a custom home will provide you with the right amount of space, all of the details you love, and, what’s more important, you’ll feel at home every day because it’s the home you planned and built.

You spend hours and hours on Pinterest and HOUZZ.

If you’re tired of your current house or are dreaming of a custom home, then you probably spend hours and hours looking at photos and design ideas on Pinterest. If you’re really ready, then you probably spend time on HOUZZ looking for custom home builders, design tips, products, and even reading the stories of how others built their dream homes. These sites are great for inspiring dream homes. And, if you spend a ton of time being envious of the homes others have built, then it’s a good indication that you’re ready to start your own project.

You pick up floor plan books every chance you get.

Whenever you see a new book boasting dozens of unique floor plans, you just can’t pass them up. You flip through them at the store and ultimately end up making the purchase. When you get home, you start comparing the different plans, imagine living in the homes, and thinking about all the details you’d add on the inside. What’s more, you’ve started cutting the floor plans up to make your own dream home.

You’re tired of all the outdated features of your home.

Outdated features can make life difficult, but updating every single part of your home can become expensive. Rather than deal with the frustration or try to update everything, why not build a home you’ll love from the minute you step through the front door? A custom home is just that. It’ll be modern, styled exactly like you want, and be the perfect size for your family.
