This summer, many Americans will be moving to a new home. Imagine your next move being to your custom built home on Cape Cod instead of one that has already been lived in and possibly damaged by someone else. More Americans understand the value and reasoning behind creating their unique abode. According to This Old House, 1.65 million American housing units needed building permits in 2022. Here are three reasons to create a custom built home to fit your habitation needs.
1. Prevent Health Hazards
When you build a home from scratch, you can ensure that developers don’t use hazardous materials that could affect your health. When you buy an older home, you may have to worry if the property has had regular inspections and updates. When it comes to asbestos and lead pipes, you don’t want to risk having those in your space. While asbestos and lead pipes have been outlawed in the United States for quite some time, some properties may not have been updated and had these items removed.
2. Choose Your Neighborhood
One of the big dilemmas of moving to a new home is finding a perfect, beautiful neighborhood that doesn’t have a home available. You may find a beautiful home that meets your requirements but isn’t in an ideal part of town. Put this issue to rest by finding a plot of land in your ideal area and having your custom home built on it.
3. Have All Your Preferred Features
You can get a ready-made home and renovate it later. However, that’s going to take more time. Save that time by building your own home and moving into a space that’s perfect from the beginning. Whether you want marble countertops, hardwood flooring throughout, heated floors, gold or copper metal fixtures, or Scandinavian design, the sky’s the limit when you choose to work with custom home builders.
There are many reasons to make your already relaxing life in Cape Cod better by investing in a custom built home. You can create a space that’s untouched by anyone else, is free from outdated materials, and is in your ideal neighborhood.
