HOME GOAL: BUILD A HOUSE - is this you?
The number one thing to do if you want to start the building process this year is to figure out your budget 💰
This is going to look like a balance of determining your must haves, want to haves and deal breakers and figuring out what those things cost individually and collectively.
Starting with the lot - if you have a new development you'd love to build in - figure out the minimum lot prices and what requirements the subdivision has on things like square footage, building materials, etc.
What goes hand in hand with that is finding a builder. Are you looking at the high end builders, mid range builders or budget friendly? The builder itself, can play a huge role in the lot you end up building on.
Next, start looking at cost of upgrades. One of the biggest surprises to people starting the building process is how many upgrades there are and the extent of options that drive the price up really quickly.
I designed this little flow chart to layout the process in order but the budget is definitely going to be the first thing you take into consideration and then follow the list from there.
Did you know that you can work with a Real Estate Agent during the building process? If you're considering building, I can help walk you through the process, help you find the right builder and help you through negotiations.
