New career move? Tired of renting? Growing family? New priorities call for big changes. This may be the year you’re looking to purchase a new home. Now that you’re ready to buy your dream home, it’s important to pick one that fits your lifestyle. Before you begin the home shopping process, it’s good to first be familiar with the three types of new homes:

  • To-be-built: A new home that is built from the ground up

  • Move-in ready: A new home that you can move into quickly

  • Under construction: A new home that is still being constructed

While all three are great options depending on your needs, a move-in ready home is a popular choice due to the quick turnaround time and home completion progress. Let’s dig into what a move-in ready home is all about and why it may be the perfect fit for your next move.

Timing is Key

Building a new home can take some time, especially if it’s built from the ground-up. From permitting to construction and everything in between, you will need to allow 7-10 months for your new home to be built. A move-in ready home is a better option if you’re looking for the benefits of purchasing a new home and are anticipating moving into your home sooner rather than later. Move-in ready homes often are fully complete (some may have up to a 60-day completion window), so if you’re short on time, this may be the ideal choice. Now that you have the timing down, you may still be wondering what exactly is a move-in ready home? A move-in ready home is already built and includes finishes that have been selected by our design experts. The best part: It’s ready to be lived in.

Built-In Fixtures and Less Maintenance

When you start with a new build, you will make all your interior selections (from the ground up), including your appliances. This takes place during the construction process. While it is an amazing experience, it does take time and patience. A benefit of a new home, including a move-in ready home, is it already has the latest fixtures built-in. That will help you spend less time on maintenance and work requests. We’ve completed the initial steps and set-up, so you can walk into your new home feeling at ease that everything has been taken care of. Another perk? All your appliances are up-to-date and brand new.
