Before you look at model homes, meet with sales agents, or even browse online, it is important to know whether you are ready for the financial commitment of building a home. There are three periods during the building process that will ultimately end up costing you a significant chunk of change.

How long does it take to build a house with a builder? When considering building a presold home, many people have the question, “How long does it take to build a house?” or “How long does it take to build with a builder?” These are great questions. We’ll try to be as upfront and honest about it as possible, so buyers considering building with a homebuilder know exactly what to expect.
