Benefits of Building a New Home in The Bitterroot Valley
Here in the Missoula and Bitterroot Valley area, it can sometimes be challenging to find that perfect property that checks all the boxes AND that falls within your budget. You may have considered what it would take to build a new home, or if building a new home is a good idea? Not surprisingly, there can be a lot of benefits to building a new home!
Here at Elk Mountain Construction, we focus on 3 types of new home construction, custom, semi-custom, and move-in ready.
A custom home is a one-of-a-kind house where you, the buyer, work with a homebuilder to design and plan your new home from the layout to the finishes. You have complete control of the entire layout, design, and end finishes. Custom homes are perfect for folks who know exactly what they want, how they want it, and are not willing to compromise on their vision.
A semi-custom home offers homebuyers the best of both worlds, with the ease of using a preexisting home plan vs the complexity of designing one from scratch. Elk Mountain Construction will then help you modify and redesign a home plan to your unique needs. A semi-custom home is a perfect solution to get everything on your “want list” without sacrificing your style or spending the extra time and money to build a full custom home.
A move-in ready home is a pre-built home that is ready for the homebuyer. You can still expect great quality and service from a move-in ready home at Elk Mountain Construction, however, you will not be able to customize design or layout as it is already built.
Both custom and semi-custom options have many exciting benefits to the homebuyer. You will have the freedom to build a home that flows with the way you live and reflects your style and personality.
Let’s dive into 6 of the top benefits of building your new home!
Get what you want
The most obvious benefit in building a custom or semi-custom home is you get what you want. From the design, layout, number of rooms, colors, finishes, features, and appliances, you have the freedom to let your creativity fly and your wants met. Maybe you want a space designed around your pet, children, spouse, kitchen pantry, or shoes! The sky is the limit when it comes to your unique needs and visions. Unlike buying an existing home where you need to force your living arrangements on a poorly designed layout; you and your family will have a home that flows with your life and reflects your style and personality.
Live where you want
Building a home also allows you to pick the location. Here in the Bitterroot Valley, you may want a smaller lot in town or acreage in the mountains. Elk Mountain Construction will help you with the ideal placement of your custom home on any land. The landscape in relation to topography, roads, neighbors, views, and even the sun make a big difference in how the home should be placed. Forward thinking and details that impact the way we live are very important when deciding the prefect spot to build your new home.
Latest innovations and technology
New products and technology are constantly hitting the market that improve the function and convenience of our homes and the way we live! These days there are a lot of high-tech features that can take your home to the next level. Heated and lifeproof floors, smart appliances, and home sound, vacuum and air purification systems are just some of the exciting new products being introduced on a regular basis.
Choose and know your materials
A pre-existing or older home can have inferior, outdated, or worn materials and finishes, which can result in an unseen or impending issues. With a newly built custom home by Elk Mountain Construction, you can take comfort in knowing your home will be built with quality processes and materials. You can choose the look and feel you want within your specific budget, and most importantly you will have peace of mind knowing the integrity and quality of your home from the start!
Get an energy efficient home
Today’s home products are far more energy efficient than older ones. Innovations from appliances, windows, insulation, flooring, heating, cooling, and lighting can all be incorporated into your new home. These appliances can help conserve water, decrease electricity and gas consumption, reduce your pollution and carbon footprint, and save you money through utility bills and potential tax breaks. The benefit is clear when it comes to the environment and financial gains to you in the form of lower monthly living expenses. New technology is constantly providing us with products that truly do make a better quality of life for all!
Worry less about maintenance
Repairs needed due to the natural wear and tear can become costly and time consuming as a home ages. This is especially true if the house was not built properly or with low quality materials. With older homes these issues can quickly become costly and just a general headache! Building a custom or semi-custom home can save you from costly renovations after you move in, which are often overlooked in the homebuyer’s initial budget. While of course you will still need to keep up on standard home maintenance, with a brand-new home you will not need to worry about unknown or underlying issues. The quality materials and workmanship Elk Mountain Construction provides will last for many years. Your new home will also come with a warranty so you can feel confident anything will be fixed if needed.
