The cost of utilities and the connection of utilities will also be a cost to consider upon building on your own lot.  Should the area be rural in nature their may be significant costs associated with the build and or it may be impossible at the time of purchase.

• When purchasing a home whether it be a home that is already standing or a home you plan on building it is also very important to have a good understanding of the product when compared to other homes on the market to include the build methods and use of green features.  Some Custom Home Builders in San Antonio and mass production builders choose to focus on utilizing green technology and others choose to focus on cost and potentially offer a lower sales price.  When you Build On Your Own Lot In San Antonio it is up to you, the buyer, to know what is important to you and ensure that you ask for it.  A knowledgeable professional Realtor who puts the buyers best interest above their own is a major benefit in ensuring you have all the education and knowledge necessary for making what may be the largest investment of ones life.

• We at Team Infinity Keller Williams have an extensive collection of information on San Antonio Custom Homes Builders to ensure that our clients receive the due diligence which should be a standard in deciding which custom home builder to use.  A buyer will always want to make sure the builder has a good product, reputation, staff and also good financial stability to ensure any home warranties will be there for years to come to include the 10 year structural and foundation warranty which is currently a standard.  With the changing market and the changing real estate industry some builders will not be in business in the next 5 years.  Should you decide to Build On Your Lot In San Antonio a trusted, reputable and financially stable builder would be a wise choice.
• A good rule of thumb to go by when you Build On Your Own Lot In San Antonio or the surrounding areas is to take a look at the average price per square foot of the comparable recent home sales in the area for the builder you are most considering as well as the next two biggest competitors.  As a buyer it is also a wise strategy to take a look at the pros and cons of each with a tour of some of the preowned homes on the market within the area. This will give you a great understanding of just what kind of deal you are truly getting.  It is possible that you have decided to spend much more on your home than the average consumer, but in that case you will still have an idea of what your situation might be like when it comes to resale of your custom home.  In short ensuring you have a full understanding of your investment in your custom home will make for a better resale experience years down the road.
• Finding the best financing options available as with any home purchase is something to consider as well.  It is usually best to work with a referred lender or speak to at least two reputable loan officers to ensure you have a positive experience. This can save you headaches with regard to personality conflicts, communication issues as well as monetary issues like interest rate and closing costs.
• As a final point with regard to a Build On Your Own Lot In San Antonio or the surrounding areas please understand that in all cases the builder sales representative works for the builder.  If you ask any builder sales representative "Who's best interest do you represent mine or the builder your work for? See how they reply and you might have trouble convincing yourself that they are truly looking out for your interests.  Builder sales people are usually good people, but they have a job to do and when the rubber meets the road and things get a little heated or complicated you can trust that a great Realtor will look after your best interest as opposed to a builder salesperson who is employed by the builder...who is also the seller.
