Why Now is a Good Time to Build a Custom Home

After experiencing a few tumultuous years in real estate, many homebuyers are anxious about reentering the world of new and custom construction. Climbing interest rates and supply chain disruptions have put many buyers’ dreams on hold. And, many homebuyers are still wondering if now is the right time to build a custom home in Alabama as the market enters a new year.

Now is a great time to design and build your custom dream home! At J. Wright Building Company, we partner with homebuyers to build the custom home of their dreams on their timeline. A member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program, the J. Wright Building Company team consistently provides a one-of-a-kind building experience and exceptional customer service for homeowners across the greater Birmingham area.

Decreasing Costs

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel thanks to decreasing costs! The declining trend in some materials offset the higher interest rates the market is experiencing. Luckily, the luxury custom construction market hasn’t been significantly affected by the recent downturn and is still strong. Don’t wait another moment! Take advantage of current market conditions to make your dream home a reality.

It’s a Long-Term Investment

Deciding to embark on a custom construction journey is an investment in your family’s future! On top of creating a home that directly reflects your style and needs, your J. Wright custom home is a beneficial long-term financial decision. Whether you plan to live in your custom home for a handful of years or pass it through the generations, choosing to construct your ideal home now saves you money and time in the long run. Building a custom home reduces future costs as you already have your ideal installations and finishes!

While more expensive initially, choosing to build a custom home saves homeowners money on future upgrades and the headaches of handling outdated technology, aging appliances and dated styles.

Control the Layout

The beauty of building a custom home is the most obvious reason: complete control. When you custom build your dream home, you are forging a residence to house a growing family, provide support during your golden years and much more.

Have you always wished the owner’s bedroom had uninterrupted backyard views or the laundry room was easily accessible to the entire family? Select the perfect spot to thoughtfully place your chef-inspired kitchen, family media room, owner’s suite and more in a location that serves your family best. Embarking on the custom building journey allows you to pick and choose every detail, from the placement of a room to its shape, design, size and more!

Reduced Maintenance & Increased Energy Efficiency

The common problem with purchasing older homes is the host of issues you, as an owner, inherit after unlocking the door. From outdated appliances and crumbling foundations to design updates and dingy flooring, purchasing a previously owned home can come with many hassles.

Remove the stress from homeownership by starting on a new page with your new home. Custom building allows homeowners to pick and choose which state-of-the-art appliances, trending design features and more to include in their perfect home. Updated appliances and newer finishes reduce a home’s carbon footprint and maintenance costs.

Treat yourself to a lifetime of luxury, and let your imagination guide you. The talented J. Wright Building Company team is here to partner with you on your custom building journey from start to finish. Connect with us to get started, or visit the virtual portfolio for project inspiration!
