3 Questions to Answer Before You Start to Build Your Custom HomeIf you have been tossing around the idea of building the home of your dreams, you may have more questions than answers. This is particularly true if you are still in the very beginning stages of the process.

Yet, while there may be a long list of items you need to know about, before you proceed with contacting a builder and discussing all of the minute details, there are three key questions that you should answer, as these can ultimately determine your next move.

First, while you may feel that you will remain in your new home forever, it is essential that you realistically determine approximately how long you plan to live there. For example, is your family still in the process of growing, or alternatively, will you soon be an empty nester?

Next, you should also decide what is most important to you and your family. For instance, do you enjoy entertaining, or would you rather go out? Likewise, do you love to tinker in the yard, or would you instead enjoy more of a maintenance-free exterior?

Certainly, one of the most important criteria to nail down is the location of your new custom home. In this case, is being close to schools, shopping, and other conveniences a key determinant of where you would like to reside, or is more of a quiet environment your style, where you don’t need to worry about traffic and lots of passers by?

In some cases, a location – and even a lot – may already be in place. This, too, is important, as you will need to determine the feasibility of running electric, gas, and sewer lines to the property.
