Five Reasons to Start Your New Home Build Now

We all share the current feelings of uncertainty, but we are sold on American ingenuity. We have good reason to believe that we will overcome the Coronavirus sooner than expected and return to prosperity. Below are five reasons why right now could be the best time to start your dream home.

1. Design and Engineering Timeline:

If a custom home design is what you are after, we normally expect the design, the engineering and additional tasks to obtain a building permit in SWFL to take between 4 and 6 months. Building from one of our pre-drawn home plans would indeed shorten that process, but our future will likely be very promising - just when you are ready to begin building.

2. Super Low Interest Rates:
Now is the best time in memory to get a home or construction loan. Interest rates are at or near all time lows which could mean saving hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of your home loan. Many lenders are offering to lock in rates for up to to 12 months - right now.

3. It’s a great time to begin your project:
If you live in colder climates and start the design process soon, your dream home can be dried-in and the trades can be working inside keeping you on track, before temperatures drop. If you plan to build in SWFL and begin now, you could be in your Florida dream home during next season.

4. Suppressed Demand:
It’s true that home and building costs have been strong, but there is no doubt stay-at-home orders have suppressed the immediate housing market. Architects & home designers, engineers, builders and tradesmen are now very motivated to schedule serious clients in the immediate future. Get started before the backlogged rush returns!

5. Hi-Performance Homes are Healthy Homes:
If we’ve learned one very important lesson in the last month, it’s the importance of a healthy environment. So if you don’t already know, our homeowners enjoy the most healthy indoor air quality available. We do not consider healthy indoor air quality an option. It’s an essential feature designed into every one of our hi-performance pre-drawn and custom home designs. Call or email Wright Jenkins Home Design’s owner Dave Jenkins for information.
