While not as common as purchasing an existing home, custom home building has been picking up over recent years. This is both a result of the shortage of quality housing available today as well as the changing needs of our lifestyles.  In today's world, many families consist of dual income households.  After work we find ourselves rushing home to pick up our kids and back out to get them to soccer, baseball, football, lacrosse or cheer leading practice, etc....

Combined with these lifestyle changes, the desire for in law suites to accommodate parents and older family members has increased significantly. Add in the desire to work from home which accellerated as a result of the global pandemic, many home buyers are finding existing resale housing just doesn’t meet the needs of their family.

As a result, the very nature of home design is changing to accommodate our lifestyles.  For example, we find many people no longer want formal living rooms and favor of more open floor plans and larger daily living spaces like great rooms which are connected to the kitchens so when the family is home so they can share more time together and in some cases multiple home offices. 

Over the past few years we have seen a big shift toward custom home building as more people are looking for homes that are more conducive to their lifestyles and display an extension of their persona. For some, the custom home is not only based on lifestyle and convenience, it is a status symbol like the Rolex watch.  

Custom home builders have been working diligently to make the process much easier and transparent for the consumer to understand, this has been a major obstacle as many home buyers would love to build a new custom home, but lack the knowledge of how to get started.  This is why I created constructionloan101.com, to provide you with the information you need and a clear Pathway to Your New Custom Home as well as to simply the financing options.
