"The biggest surprise a lot owner gets after they purchase a lot is how much additional site work may be required to make the lot buildable. Not every part of the lot may be buildable either." Clay Shultz, president of Paradyne Homes has been picking lots out for customers for over 20 years. Clay will work with you personally to make sure the beginning is as good as the completion.
For example, the foundation may require piers or pads. Or drainage issues may require extensive excavation work, which can run into thousands of dollars. And there are other considerations as well, including a complete understanding of the easements, local zoning laws, property line restrictions, flood areas, and architecture guidelines and review processes.
Although the land may be ideally situated for the future homeowner and has everything they ever dreamed of, being able to custom build your home can also be a daunting task. Visiting spec homes can be helpful, as well as viewing virtual three-dimensional models via computer.
Next, be mindful that the rule of real estate has not changed. It is wise not to choose a home plan that will "stand out" in the neighborhood as the biggest and the best. If you "overbuild" for the neighborhood, it will decrease the value of the house. You don't want to be the most expensive house on the block.
Elements of Style and Time
Building on your own lot allows you the freedom to choose the floor plan you want, but be aware that customization takes time. When you build on your own lot, as opposed to building within a new neighborhood, homes typically take longer to build due to simple logistics.
"Be realistic with your time expectations. While a home can be built in 90-100 days, a custom built home on one's own lot can reasonably take six to nine months," notes Moore. Depending upon the weather, the size and complexity of the home, as well as the unpredictable nature of building on scattered sites, often it is impossible to commit to a completion date until well into the construction project.
Paradyne Homes reminds you, it is not unusual for a buyer to fall in love with a floor plan in a luxury area of a community, but also want something a little different. "In a development, a builder may not be able to accommodate semi-customizing floor plans due to restrictions of the community, but they would be able to do so on an already owned lot," says Shultz.
