Questions to ask (and answer) before you rebuild your home.

Building a new home can be both exciting and overwhelming, but we can help. Whether you are building your primary residence, an investment, or a rental property, asking yourself the right questions can help ensure the result is a beautiful new home that meets your needs and is a smart investment. Let’s look at some key questions to ask (and answer) before you take the next step.

What is the purpose of your new home?

Consider what you want to achieve by building a new home. Will it be your forever home or a temporary residence? Will it serve as a rental property to generate income or will you plan to flip it for profit?  Knowing your purpose will help guide decisions when selecting a home plan and design features to maximize the home’s potential and value. For example, if you plan to build a rental property, you may want to add high-quality finishes and amenities to entice potential tenants.

How long do you plan to live in your home?

If you’re considering building a new home for your primary residence, ask yourself how long you plan to live in the home. Take into account potential changes to family size, both now and down the road. After answering this question, you can narrow down the number of bedrooms, extra space considerations such as aging parents who need to stay with you, and proximity to schools and workplaces. Gaining insight into these details in advance helps ensure your new home is built for your needs and lifestyle today and in the future.

Where do you spend most of your time at home?

Do you prefer to relax in the living room or sit out on the patio? Does your family spend time cooking together or gathering around the dining table? Where do you like to wind down with a good book or favorite movie? Thinking about where you spend most of your time at home can help you prioritize what to focus on when building a new home that fits your day-to-day activities.

What is your current home lacking?

Reflecting on what your current home is missing is also crucial. Are you pining for more space or an open floorplan with natural light? Could adding features like built-in storage, a spacious garage, and modern amenities simplify your life? These questions can help you determine the must-haves versus nice-to-haves when designing your new home.

What’s your vision for your new home?

Building a new home is a unique opportunity to shape a truly personalized living experience, so it’s essential to consider what matters most for your lifestyle. Are you looking for a place to raise children? Do you desire areas for relaxation and comfort, or dream of indoor/outdoor space for entertaining and hosting? Or maybe it’s a quiet office for working from home. Taking time to envision your ideal living space and what’s important to you can make all the difference in creating a home you love with everything you need.
