New Construction

Building Your Dream Home

In an effort to find you a home, your REALTOR® may include new construction as part of the search process.

Your REALTOR® works with builders in the Columbia, Missouri area to stay aware of new subdivisions and available properties. This can be an advantage to you throughout the home building process. Ask your REALTOR® to accompany you on your first visit to a new subdivision.

Choosing a newly constructed home is more than buying shelter or a comfortable floor plan. You will be purchasing neighborhood amenities that will enhance your lifestyle. Perhaps convenient shopping and restaurants are important to you or tennis courts, swimming pools and common-ground areas. Some communities offer recreational perks such as golf course membership & clubhouse privileges. To find your dream home you must satisfy your most significant lifestyle needs. So keep in mind what amenities are most important to you.

Advantages of Owning a Newly Constructed Home

• Customized to your needs, due to the wide range of floor plans, elevations, interior & exterior finishings.
• Components of the house consist of the latest design and state-of-the-art equipment with full-term warranties.
• Home warranty options range from specific warranties to limited warranties for structural defects.
• New homes are generally built in areas of expansion. This can assist your future resale value.
• New homes generally have longer life expectancy than existing homes.
• Homes today are built by law to stricter energy codes than previously built homes, which can result in utility and maintenance savings.
• New homes require less maintenance, especially exterior, due to technological advances in building materials.
