While most prospective homeowners enter the real estate market expecting to shop for existing homes, there's also an increasingly popular alternative to consider: building your own home. Working with a residential contractor on building a custom home is one of the easiest ways to live in the house of your dreams. Another viable alternative, of course, is building additions to an existing home. To help you determine which option is right for your needs, consult the guide below. 

Building Your Own Home

renovationsCustom home building works best for people that have the time to wait for the structure to be built, and for those who want to see their dream home come to life. Working with a residential contractor on a custom home will give you complete control over the final product, allowing you to ensure every detail is customized to your specific taste.

Additionally, a custom home is a great way to avoid pricey repairs or renovations in the near future. When you have your house built from the ground up, everything in the home is going to be brand new. This ensures that nothing in the house will need to be fixed for a long time. As such, this route is ideal for homeowners who want to minimize the amount of work needed shortly after moving in.

Additions to an Existing Home

While there are a wide range of benefits to building a custom home, additions are preferable for homeowners who wish to stay in their current space but desire upgrades or changes. One of the benefits of this option is that it offers a greater convenience than a custom build. In most cases, you’ll be able to keep living in your house during the entire process. 

Additionally, for families who might not have the financial means to pay for a fully custom home, additions offer an attractive second alternative. With additions, you can bring parts of your vision to life using an existing home, saving you time and money.
