Think Building is More Expensive Than Buying an Existing Home? Here’s the Real Scoop
Don’t let the myth of higher costs keep you from building your dream home.
If you’ve ever thought about building your dream home but were worried about the time it takes, you're not alone. One of the biggest misconceptions about new construction is that it takes forever to move in. The truth is, with Envision Homes, you don’t have to wait! We’ve got a variety of spec homes that are under construction or fully completed and move-in ready.
In this blog, we'll break down why spec homes are the perfect solution if you're eager to buy a new home without the long wait.
Let’s start with the basics: What exactly is a spec home?
"Spec" is short for speculative, which means the builder constructs the home based on popular trends and features, anticipating that someone will want to buy it as soon as it's complete. These homes are either under construction or already finished and ready for immediate purchase. While they may not offer the full customization of a build-from-scratch home, they often include modern finishes, smart layouts, and quality craftsmanship that align with what most buyers are looking for today.
One of the most obvious perks of a spec home is the timeline. If you’re looking to get into a new home fast, spec homes offer a near-immediate solution. You can bypass the entire construction process, which can take anywhere from 6-12 months, and move in within weeks (or even days, if you’re lucky!) after signing.
At Envision Homes, every spec home is built with the same quality standards as our custom homes. From energy-efficient systems to high-end finishes, you’re not sacrificing quality for speed. You can rest easy knowing that you’re getting a brand-new home that meets today’s rigorous construction codes and standards.
When you buy a spec home, you’re getting a home that has been thoughtfully designed by industry experts. We build these homes with today’s buyers in mind, which means you’ll find the latest trends in floor plans, materials, and technology. Expect features like open-concept layouts, energy-efficient appliances, and the latest in smart home tech.
Building a custom home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming with the sheer number of decisions you’ll need to make. With a spec home, a lot of the hard work has already been done for you. We’ve selected popular finishes, neutral color palettes, and high-quality materials, so you can simply focus on moving in and enjoying your new space.
One of the major advantages of a spec home is that you can tour it before making a decision. Unlike a custom build where you may be visualizing from blueprints or renderings, with a spec home, you get to walk through the space, get a feel for the layout, and see the finished product firsthand.
A common hesitation with spec homes is the fear of not being able to personalize your space. While it’s true that you won’t have control over every detail, our spec homes are designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes. Plus, many of our homes are still in the final stages of construction, giving you the opportunity to add a personal touch to certain features like paint colors or fixtures.
Even after moving in, you’ll have the freedom to make your own updates and changes as you settle in. The foundation of a high-quality home is there—you can add the flair that makes it uniquely yours.
At Envision Homes, we offer a wide range of spec homes at various stages of construction. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly floor plan, a smaller home to downsize, or something more luxurious, we’ve got options that fit every lifestyle and budget.
