Most Common Type of New Construction Homes
Spec Homes
A move-in ready home built by the homebuilder to meet the needs of the average person. Spec homes are cost-effective ways to get a new home at a good price. Plus, since spec homes are designed to sell, they make excellent investments in case you need to move in the future.
Appeals to 1st time Homebuyers
When resources are available, it’s common practice for homebuilders to build move-in-ready homes on new lots. These homes, which are known in the home building industry as “speculative” (or spec for short) are built with the ‘average homebuyer’ in mind.
Spec home designs are accommodating and outfitted with selections that appeal to just about everyone, which is the whole point. If you know you want a new home, but aren’t interested in the process of customizing one from scratch, then you should look into buying a spec home.
SEMI-CUSTOM HOMES
The homebuyer selects an existing plan in their homebuilder’s inventory and customizes the look and feel of the interior and exterior.
Buyer given customization list
From this list, the buy selects a floor plan that meets his or her expectations and fits their our family’s needs. Then, work with the home builder to customize the home’s selections, materials, and finishes.
If you have a clear vision for your new home but aren’t interested in spending the time and money needed to fully customize it, a semi-custom home might be perfect for you.
Fully Custom Homes
Designed specially for the buyer
The homebuyer has near-total control of the home’s layout, look, and feel. Custom homes tend to take longer to build and are generally more expensive than pre-built homes, but the end result is a true expression of the homeowner’s style and priorities.
A custom home project is one where the buyer works directly with a homebuilder (and possibly your own architect) to design, plan, and select every single detail about the home’s construction, layout, and finish. The buyer is responsible for selecting everything from the number of bedrooms to the color of the doorknobs.
Buyer is responsible for design
Custom homes are great for buyers who enjoy a detail-oriented process and generally are not willing to compromise on their vision and ideas.

What PEOPLE ARE ASKING ABOUT REALTORS?
“Do I need a Realtor if I’m buying New Construction?”
Answer: No. Most new construction sites will allow you to buy a home without agent representation. The homebuyer needs to know that the builder’s sales representative works for the Builder. It is wise to be represented by an agent.
Below are just a few of the ways you can benefit by using me as your Realtor.
- Not using a Realtor will not reduce the price of your home.
- My advice is objective and focused on finding the right home for you, not selling a particular Community or model home.
- I can assist you in obtaining financing, because I have a team of lenders on standby to assist you, even if your credit is subpar.
- I maintain a database of Community profiles containing critical data on every tract in the area.
- I can point out pros and cons of the Community or property features that a Builder or sales representative may not mention.
- I stay up-to-date on the progress of Community construction.
- I can discuss with you how the CC&R (Community Rules) of the Community may affect your usage.
- I have reviews of all the Builders in the area and their documented reputations.
- I can help protect your investment by helping you schedule independent inspections before closing and before your first year warranty expires.
- Do you prefer to rent a new built home? I can help you find a new construction home to rent now and buy later.
- I can help you obtain temporary housing if the timing of your move requires a temporary place to live.
- I can sell your current home or assist you with obtaining a guaranteed offer from one of my preferred partners, if the sale becomes a condition of your new home purchase.
“Can’t I buy the house for LESS if I don’t use a Realtor?”
Answer: No. Builder prices are fixed. In most cases you will pay the listed sales price regardless of you being represented by an agent or not. The agent’s commission has been factored into the list price. Builders have tight margins and they have no room for negotiated prices. So, the advertised price is the price you will pay regardless of agent representation.
