Do you dream of building your own home but are uncertain whether you want to take on such a large project? For some, waiting on a longer time line and being available throughout the decision-making process can pose a formidable obstacle to moving forward with new home construction in Michigan. But if you’re not quite ready to give up customization options and new home construction, then it’s time to investigate quick move-in homes. When this opportunity knocks, you’ll want to entertain it.

How Do Quick Move-In Homes Work?

For most custom homes in Michigan, buyers work with builders “from the ground up.” This entails selecting a lot, customizing a floor plan, and deciding on materials. It also entails working with contractors and the city to complete construction, obtain permits, and pass inspections. Quick move-in homes, also known as spec homes, available homes, and inventory homes, on the other hand, are already constructed and ready for buyers to move into immediately, but they still leave room for final customization. 

What Final Customization Will I Have a Say Over?

Although your lot and floor plan will already be in place, you can still select final materials for your quick move-in home. You can make your home feel truly like it reflects your personality and needs by selecting flooring and appliances, as well as kitchen cabinetry and countertops. Also, while you won’t be able to design your own floor plan in detail, remember that most builders, like Evergreen Homes, offer a wide variety of existing floor plans so that you can select a new home with your family’s needs and preferences already in place.

What Are the Financial Benefits of Buying a Quick Move-In Home?

If you’re looking at the final price tag of a quick move-in home and comparing it against a quote for new home construction in Michigan, you may be surprised to discover that they are more or less the same. But keep in mind that, while your builder may not charge you any more money for one than the other, buying a quick move-in home may still save you more money.

Quick move-in homes save money by saving time, and not just in the obvious sense that they allow more uninterrupted time to devote to work and family life. With quick move-in homes, you will have nominal or nonexistent expenditures related to holding double mortgages. If you are relocating to Canton, Michigan, from a different area and don’t have the time to wait on building a custom home in Michigan, then quick move-in homes can save you even more money by providing an immediately-available home space so that you don’t have to find temporary housing while waiting for construction completion.   

Don't Overlook this Opportunity

Quick move-in homes are not for everyone, but they are an often-overlooked opportunity for those seeking new home construction and customization options while working within time constraints. Save your time, taste, and money by investigating this option alongside new home construction options.
