The average American will purchase at least three homes in their lifetime—often a starter home, a family home and, finally, an empty-nester or retirement home. In some markets, homeowners who are climbing the property ladder may own five or more homes as the decades go by. For many, this evolution of home ownership creates the perfect chance to work toward the home of their dreams.
If you’re at a place in life where you are ready to upgrade to a new home, you have an exciting opportunity before you: to build a custom home that is also your dream home.
For many of us, getting the keys to our very first home feels like a dream. But over time we realize that a true “dream home” is more than that: It’s crafted with you and your family in mind, and it suits your lifestyle. It has a floor plan perfectly suited for your family and their hobbies and interests—whether you’re into entertaining, movies, crafts, or something in between.
A dream home is also located in your ideal area, on a piece of land that you love. For many homeowners, this means a property with a beautiful view; others just want a bit more elbow room than a typical pre-built home can offer.
Inside, a dream home should have all the upgraded features and new technologies that will help make life comfortable and fun. If you love to cook, maybe that means a gourmet kitchen. If your family loves the big screen, you might want a theater-style movie room.
These dream features all add up to create a home that you’ll want to stay in for a long time—one that is not just the next step on the property ladder. That’s because a dream home is truly yours.
