Building a custom home is an exciting time. You may have been dreaming of this project for many years, and now you are finally in a position to make it happen. All of the focus is on working toward the completion date, so you can move in and start to enjoy the new house that has been created by one of the top homebuilders Greensboro has to offer.

 

While it might be hard to think this far ahead, there will come a day when you no longer want to own this home, and it will hit the open market. Whenever that day rolls around, you want the house to be as appealing as possible to prospective buyers. So, what kind of house should you build with resale in mind? You’ll find a few tips below.

 

Don’t Stray Too Far from Conventional

One of the great things about building a custom home is that you can do whatever you want with the design. As long as it falls within code restrictions, and fits in your budget, you can do virtually anything. With that said, if you get too wild or unconventional with your design, you might find that there are fewer interested buyers when the time comes to sell.

 

This doesn’t mean that you have to build something that looks like every house on the block, but going somewhere between standard and totally unique is probably a good balance to strike. That way, when you are ready to sell at some point in the future, you’ll be selling a house that a lot of people will like, and you should find a strong market for the property.

 

Kitchens and Bathrooms

It’s a well-known expression that real estate is about little more than “location, location, location”. While that factor is certainly important, when it comes to selling houses, kitchens, and bathrooms certainly have a ton to do with the interest that a property will find on the open market. So, as you go through the process of designing your home and having it built, be sure to pay close attention to these two components. If you have a beautiful kitchen with all the features and comfortable, large bathrooms, countless buyers will be lined up.

 

Living in the Moment

Resale value is important, but it should be noted that you also want to embrace the opportunity of building a custom house and not restrict yourself too tightly just because you’ll need to sell the house someday. If there is a feature that you really want to have in the home for you and your family to enjoy, go for it. Most likely, someone in the future will appreciate that feature, and even if not, your beautiful custom home will still have plenty of value and you will have enjoyed living there along the way.
