Beat the Spring Rush: Make Your Dream Home a Reality Now

The new year is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to take the first steps toward building your dream home. Winter may not seem like the traditional time to think about new beginnings, but it’s actually an ideal season to secure a lot and start planning your custom home with Buffum Homes. Here’s why:

1. New Year, New Goals

The start of a new year is the ultimate time for fresh ideas and long-term planning. If a custom home has been on your mind, now is the moment to take action. Securing your lot early in the year allows you to:

◦ Start the design process with clarity and focus.
◦ Plan out your timeline for construction, so your home is ready when you need it.
◦ Align your home-building goals with your financial and lifestyle objectives for the year.

2. Winter’s Advantage: Be Ahead of the Crowd

Winter might seem like a slower season for real estate, but that’s exactly why it’s a great time to act. Many potential buyers wait until spring to start searching for lots, meaning there’s less competition now. By securing a lot in winter, you can:

◦ Have a broader selection of available lots to choose from.
◦ Avoid the springtime rush and potential bidding wars.
◦ Get a jumpstart on permitting, surveys, and testing to ensure your lot is ready for construction.

3. A Head Start on Floorplans

Once your lot is secured, we can immediately begin working with you on floorplan designs. Knowing the size and layout of your lot helps us tailor the perfect home for your needs. Whether you’re dreaming of a sprawling ranch or a two-story family home, getting started in winter means:

◦ More time to perfect your design without rushing.
◦ The ability to factor in seasonal considerations, such as natural light and outdoor space.
◦ A chance to collaborate with our expert team on every detail, ensuring a seamless transition from planning to construction.

4. Building Dreams in Buffum Neighborhoods

Buffum Homes has stunning lots available in neighborhoods like Kingsfield Estates in the Grandville School District and Planter’s Ridge in Byron Center. These communities offer:

◦ Proximity to excellent schools and local amenities.
◦ A welcoming atmosphere for families and individuals alike.
◦ A mix of beautiful homes, with plenty of opportunity for customization.

These lots are ready to build on, with planned building envelopes and PERK tests completed. However, they won’t last forever—waiting until spring could mean missing out on the perfect location.

5. The Flexibility of Private Lots

If you have your own land or are eyeing a private lot, winter is still an excellent time to move forward. While securing a private lot can involve additional steps like inspections and tree clearing, getting started now allows you to plan your build timeline with these factors in mind. Buffum Homes has extensive experience building on private lots, and we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.
