Two margaritas later… and apparently I have more opinions about building a house. 🍹🍹

Part 2 is here.

After years of selling new construction (and building a Fischer home myself), I’ve developed some pretty strong opinions about where buyers should spend their money.

Here’s the thing.

Just because an upgrade is available doesn’t mean it’s worth the investment.

Some upgrades are difficult to change later. Others can wait until you’ve lived in your home and figured out what actually matters to you.

And sometimes? The best upgrade is the one you decide NOT to purchase.

Swipe through for the upgrades I’d skip and the two exceptions I’d make.

💬 Comment SKIP if you’d like my complete list.

The base price isn’t the price. 🏡

And before you think I’m telling you there’s some hidden cost to building a home, hear me out.

The base price is exactly that. A starting point.

Your homesite, structural choices, exterior elevation, and design selections all play a role in determining the final price of your new home.

And let’s not forget the other numbers that matter: financing, closing costs, taxes, and insurance.

Here’s what I tell my buyers:

Don’t start by asking what the base price is. Start by asking what the home you actually WANT will cost.

Because building a home isn’t just about choosing the right floorplan. It’s about understanding your options, prioritizing what’s important, and making decisions that align with your lifestyle AND your budget.

And that’s where having the right person guiding you makes all the difference.

📌 Save this before you fall in love with everything in the model home. 😂

📩 COMMENT “COST” and I’ll walk you through a sample new-construction pricing breakdown.

New construction in Town & Country? You might be surprised. 👀🏡

If you’ve been looking for a brand-new home in Town & Country, Missouri, your options may be better than you think.

Meet the Pearson by Fischer Homes in Deer Hollow.

New construction. Move-in ready. And an opportunity to live in one of St. Louis’s most desirable areas without waiting months for your home to be built.

And here’s something else worth knowing…

New construction in Town & Country might be more attainable than you think.

Don’t rule it out before exploring what’s available.

📩 DM me “PEARSON” for pricing, current incentives, and a private tour.

The transformation never gets old. 🏡

I’ve sold new construction in two different cities, and there’s still something incredible about watching a house go from framing to finished.

I’ve walked through hundreds of homes at every stage of construction. And somehow, seeing the finished product still gets me.

Because what started as lumber, concrete, and a floorplan eventually becomes someone’s home.

And I get to be part of that process. ❤️

But what if you don’t have time to build?

You’re just in time for the Fischer Homes 72-Hour Sale! ⏰

For a limited time, explore opportunities on move-in-ready homes without waiting through the construction process.

📩 DM me “72HOURS” to find out which homes are included and what incentives are available.

Everyone wants to build… until we start talking about what building actually looks like. 👀

And that’s okay.

For some buyers, choosing the homesite, floorplan and finishes is exactly what they’ve been waiting for.

For others? A brand-new home that’s already under construction or move-in ready makes way more sense.

Neither is better. The question is which one fits your timeline, budget and how much decision-making you actually want to do.

So which are you?

Comment BUILD 🏗️ or READY 🔑 and I’ll tell you what I’d consider before choosing.

UNDER CONTRACT 🏡

This family just secured their homesite in Inverness and will be building the Winston floorplan. Now the fun part begins—turning that homesite into their home.

Located in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, Inverness gives you that neighborhood feel while keeping you connected, with convenient access to Hwy 364, I-64 and I-70.

And if Inverness has been on your radar, now is the time to take another look.

🏡 Fewer than 5 contract-to-build homesites remain.

With current incentives, we can also explore putting that buying power toward financing—because the right incentive isn’t always the one you can see. Sometimes, it’s the one that makes the numbers work better.

📲 DM me “INVERNESS” and I’ll send you the remaining homesites, floorplan options and current incentive information.

Nobody warned me that buying more house would just give the dogs more places to cause problems. 😂

The upstairs railing = backyard surveillance.
The staircase = WWE wrestling arena.
The two-story family room = apparently theirs.

No regrets. 🐾🏠

Apparently two margaritas is all it takes for me to start telling you what I REALLY think about building a house. 🍹😂

After years of selling new construction, there are things I wish more buyers knew before they started making decisions.

Not every upgrade adds value.

More square footage doesn’t automatically make a better house.

And sometimes the “deal” isn’t actually the best value.

So consider this the slightly less-filtered version of my new construction advice.

And yes, I have enough material for a Part 2. 😂

What would you add to the list?

I said I would never live somewhere even remotely rural.

And yet, here I am.

Taking a morning walk. Watching the sunrise. Loving a life that looks very different from the one I once pictured for myself.

It makes me laugh because I hear versions of “never” from homebuyers all the time.

“I’d never build.”
“I’d never move that far out.”
“I’d never leave my current neighborhood.”
“I don’t think we can afford a new home.”

And sometimes those things really are non-negotiable.

But sometimes, you just haven’t seen the right possibility yet.

Buying a home isn’t only about bedrooms, square footage and interest rates. It’s about figuring out what you want your actual life to look like.

Sometimes that life ends up somewhere you never thought to look.

Mine certainly did. ❤️

If you’re curious about what you’ve been ruling out, let’s talk. You might be surprised by what’s possible.

New construction in Town & Country — without the wait. 👀🏡

Meet the Pearson at Deer Hollow, a move-in ready home in the only new single-family community currently being built in the area.

New construction. Town & Country. And a price point that may be more accessible than you think.

The best part? It’s ready now.

📩 DM me “PEARSON” for pricing, details + a private tour.
