Many buyers have a vision of their dream home, including the land it resides on, the property surrounding it, and the design and layout of their dream home. Finding a location on which to build your home in Howard County can provide all your dream home features and more. From our lot assistance database to our personal realtor, Cedar Square Homes will work with you to make your dream home a reality.
To find the perfect location for your custom home, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Accessibility and Construction
The more remote the lot, the less likely it is that it’s connected to power lines, gas lines, and sewage lines. Creating these lines will easily up your price point, which may or may not be feasible given your budget. If you find a lot in an existing new home community, you may run into issues with excavation or foundation work, which will also up the budget. When scouting out potential lots for your future homes, keep in mind how much additional work will be needed to make your home livable.
Be Realistic
You might have visions of floor to ceiling windows, but the topography of the land or nearby properties may mean you consider alternative options. While there are numerous floorplans available, when building a custom home, some things to take into consideration are the views, mature trees that can offer passive solar heat gain, or any slopes that may exist on the property. Your dream home may need some adjusting to work with the lay of the land.
Account for Time
When you start a home from scratch, the build process can take six months or longer compared to the usual timeline of 90-100 days. Make sure that you have a home that you can live in while you wait for your dream home to be completed.
