Introducing Declaration Homes by Ivey Homes
A Simpler, Smarter Path to Homeownership
At Ivey Homes, we've always believed that building and buying a home should feel exciting and that quality should never be out of reach. That's exactly why we created Declaration Homes, a new series designed to open the door to homeownership for more buyers, without compromising what matters most.
Whether you're stepping into your first home, growing your family, or simply looking for a well-built home at a more approachable price point, Declaration Homes offers a clear, confident path forward.
What is Declaration Homes?
Declaration Homes is a new home series by Ivey Homes built around one simple idea: Ivey quality, intentionally simplified.
This is not a "budget" version of an Ivey home. It's a thoughtfully designed alternative that focuses on what truly matters: strong construction, functional layouts, and a timeless aesthetic.
Instead of layering on extensive upgrades and decorative details, Declaration homes are built with:
- Solid construction and trusted craftsmanship
- Honest, durable materials
- Timeless, streamlined design
The result is a home that feels fresh, well-built, and easy to make your own.
Who Declaration Homes Is Built For
Declaration Homes was created for buyers who are ready to own but want a more straightforward way to get there.
This includes:
- First-time homebuyers entering the market
- Young families needing more space without stretching their budget
- Value-conscious buyers who prioritize quality over extras
- Buyers looking for move-in ready homes that feel clean and complete
- Anyone who wants simplicity and clarity in the homebuying process
If you've ever felt like homeownership was more complicated or out of reach than it should be, Declaration Homes was built with you in mind.
What Makes Declaration Homes Different?
Declaration Homes is built on three core pillars that shape the entire experience:
Ivey Quality, Intentionally Simplified: Every Declaration home is built to the same construction standards as a traditional Ivey home. The difference is not in how the home is built, it's in how it's designed. You still get the same trusted foundation, materials, and craftsmanship.
Curated and Confident: No overwhelming Design Studio. No endless upgrade decisions. For pre-sale homes, our in-house designer has already curated a selection of finishes that work beautifully together. You simply choose from a streamlined collection designed to ensure a cohesive, modern result. For move-in ready homes, you'll walk into a home that feels clean, modern, and solidly built. A home that is easy to love and even easier to make your own.
Attainable, Not Entry-Level: Declaration Homes are priced to be more accessible, but they are never stripped down or cheaply built. These are homes you can feel proud of owning and building a life in. Designed for real life, in communities you want to be part of.
Let's Talk Affordability
One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home is the idea that you need a 20% down payment. The reality? Most buyers don't.
Many loan programs make homeownership more accessible than you might think:
- FHA loans with as little as 3.5% down
- Conventional options starting around 3%
- VA and USDA loans offering 0% down for qualified buyers
- Down payment assistance programs that can help bridge the gap
For example, on a $300,000 home, a 3.5% down payment is $10,500 - not $60,000.
Many buyers are closer than they realize and Declaration Homes was designed to meet them right where they are.
A Home You Can Feel Confident In
Declaration Homes is about removing the barriers that keep people from owning a home, without sacrificing the quality they deserve.
It's a simpler approach. A smarter approach. And for many buyers, it's the right approach. If you've been waiting for the right time or the right opportunity, this could be it.
