My wife and I looked at a hundred different houses for sale before we finally decided to build something of our own.
- We weren’t happy with any of the choices that the realtor showed us.
It wasn’t her fault. She was doing a great job, but we wanted things that were difficult to find in homes that were already constructed. One of the most important features that we wanted in our home was radiant heated flooring and ductless cooling. These options are not available in all homes. We only found one home that was equipped with radiant heat and ductless cooling. The place was too small for our family. The realtor mentioned building a dream house and my wife and I spent all weekend considering the option. When we met with a building contractor, we gave the guy a long list of items we wanted inside of our home. Ductless cooling and radiant heated flooring was at the top of that list. The homebuilder showed us several different floor models and got started on the construction a couple of weeks later. Seeing our new house come together from the ground-up was absolutely exciting and having a place that is exactly the way we want makes it easier to pay the mortgage each month. My wife and I knew what options we wanted and our home, but we didn’t know it was going to be so affordable to start from scratch and build our dream house. Now that we are finally in our home, both of us are happy that we decided to do things this way.
