Details….Details….

Have you ever toured a new model home and your first reaction was…wow!?

As you walked through the house you couldn’t put your finger on it but it just felt different from other homes you’ve looked at.  Other than a great floor plan to start with, odds are it was all the little details and extra touches a good custom builder makes sure are in every home to catch your attention and make you feel like “this is the one”.

In this highly competitive real estate market clients/buyers are looking for that standout property at the best price possible with as many extra features included as standard.  This is starting to show up in even some smaller entry level and move-up size models.  The builders’ biggest challenge is to give as much as possible to remain competitive while still making a decent profit to keep cash flowing.

When meeting with a custom builder for a new project always remember if you spend a little extra money carefully in the right places, a few thousand will “feel” as though you’ve invested much more.  Build these features into your new home and you’ll enjoy them for years to come.

From minor architectural details like arches or art niches, to slightly more costly effects like a tile inlay in a hardwood entry floor, will make these eye catching details turn the average home into a home that feels like a true custom build.  The best custom home builders should be able to recommend how and where your money is best spent to get the overall design and specific details you’re looking for to personalize your floor plan.
