It is mid-year (well, really a little past mid-year) and you are seriously thinking about building a new home. The used home market is picked over and you are really not interested in buying someone else’s home problems. Now building a new home becomes an exciting consideration, but where do you start? 

 Ivey Homes has a proven process to build your home your way. We have the perfect mix of process-driven construction and homebuyer personalization options. The steps to building a new home go something like this;

• Take an individual inventory of features and aspects you want in your new home. What do you like and dislike about your current home? Building from the ground up gives you so many more options!
• What area of town do you want to live in? The sticks and bricks of a house are just one part of what makes a home… what do you want in a community?
• Next up is visiting an Ivey community to meet with one of our dedicated Community Sales Associates. These team members are experts in their communities and the Ivey process. They can also connect you with Approved Lenders to get that part of the process started.
• At your community tour start really narrowing down your wants for a community. Once you decide on a neighborhood that suits you best, it is time for homesite selection!
• Selecting a homesite just for your new home is a special experience. This is where you will stake your claim on the American Dream. Cheezy? Not at all, it is what you’ve worked so hard for, live it up!
• Sometimes the floor plan selection and homesite can happen at the same time. You may have done your research and know what plan you see yourself in, that is ok!
• Once your homesite and floor plan are chosen, it is time to “build” your home on paper with all the options and features you are wanting in your brand new Ivey home! Remember there may be some compromise depending on your budget, that is ok too. Suggestion… build in the larger items that cannot be easily changed at a later date and compromise on the smaller items to keep yourself on budget.
• Once pricing and options are selected it is time to contract! Eek, you are making it official!
• After the contract is signed, it is on to the Design Studio Appointment. Get ready, this is homebuyer’s FAVORITE part in the process. Our in-house Design Consultant will walk you through colors, finished, and the details of your new home. All of this happens in the largest Design Studio in the area!

These steps can happen in a few days or a few weeks, but the Ivey Homes team from sales to construction are ready to help make your dream new home a reality! Let’s get started!
