This Is A Great Time To Explore Building Lots For Sale
By Scott Rogers • April 8, 2020
If you're thinking about building a home, it's a great time to explore building lots for sale - simply because it is not an indoor space with regular inhabitants. I don't think the owner of the building lot will feel a need to wipe down the grass, underbrush or trees after you leave. Speaking of building, an age-old question is whether to buy a re-sale home or build a new home, especially as your price range gets above $400K or $500K. Typically, the tension between buying vs building is one of: 1. Goals 2. Money 3. Timing If you build, you can get the house you want, but you'll pay more for it and it will take a lot of time and attention. 1. Goals = Win 2. Money = Lose 3. Timing = Lose If you buy an existing home, you won't get exactly what you want, but you will pay less for the house and the process will not be a drain on your time. 1. Goals = Lose 2. Money = Win 3. Timing = Win Don't let my oversimplification of this issue fool you -- this is something that buyers can get stuck debating for months, or even years, often while looking at resale homes to try to convince themselves to buy instead building. If you are stuck in this quagmire, I'd be happy to meet with you (via Zoom?) to talk through some of the pros and cons and try to help you come to a decision you'll be pleased with in the short and long term.
