Basic Cost Breakdown


Building the home of your dreams is not as far out of reach as many think!

What may seem to be a daunting endeavor, can be broken down into 3 main associated costs. Check it out!


Cost of Land
Cost of Land Preparation
Cost of New Red Door Home


Yes, it's all wrapped up into these three! So, what does each one entail? Let us explain...


                

Cost of Land

If you do not currently have land, guess what...you can still start the process of building your own home!

The cost of your land can be wrapped into the value of your construction loan/perm mortgage.


If you already have land and are still making payments on it, you're on a great track to start building your own home! You can roll the existing land loan into the new construction loan, which will then roll into a permanent mortgage.


In either case, the loan amount should be based on the appraised value of your total investment. That total investment includes your land, land preparation, and new home construction agreement.


                

Cost of Land Preparation

The cost to prepare your lot for the build of your new home can vary depending on several factors, but in general this element includes the following:

  • Survey
  • Building permit
  • Tree clearing and/or grading
  • Equipment rental and material
  • Installation of utilities (if needed)

*note: lot preparation cost does not include post construction landscaping
