While many homeowners dream of building their own custom dream home, buying an inventory home before it’s finished has many benefits. NIH Homes makes visualizing a completed inventory home a breeze with Pinterest and previous model photos. Inventory homes also give home buyers the opportunity to beat the crowd. In fact, our inventory homes are so popular, we’ve sold six of our seven Creekside model homes before construction was even completed! Wondering if an inventory home is the right choice for you? Keep reading for four great reasons to consider purchasing an inventory home.
Stay On Budget
Compared to building a home from scratch, purchasing an inventory home can be much more cost-efficient. Although a custom home is designed around the homeowner’s budget, there are times that the budget will be exceeded. From unexpected expenses to upgrading selections, costs can add up quickly. Opting to buy an inventory home can help you avoid those expenses because the majority of the process and selections have already been decided.
Add Personalized Touches
One of the best parts about building a custom home is getting to customize it to your exact preferences. Some buyers assume they lose the chance to personalize the home when buying a home that’s already under construction. However, that’s not the case. Despite many of the selections already being made in an inventory home, there’s often a chance to personalize a few last-minute selections.
Avoid Industry Price Increases
It’s safe to say no one likes price increases but it’s an unfortunate side effect of the housing industry. A home’s listing price may be increased anytime after listing due to industry price increases. When you buy an inventory home, you have the advantage of locking in the current pricing so you can rest assured you’re getting the best price for your new home.
Streamline the Moving Process
One of the biggest headaches about purchasing a new home is timing the selling, closing, and moving processes. Buying an inventory home can simplify the process so you can match up the closing date with the sale of your existing home. With a clearer picture of when you close, you’ll be able to start making plans for the big move.
