Unfinished Homes – A Great Way to Buy a Home
When it comes to purchasing a new home, many prospective buyers find themselves grappling with the question of whether or not it makes sense to invest in an unfinished home in order to save money. While it may seem unconventional, buying an unfinished home can actually be a fantastic way to enter the housing market and secure your dream home while keeping costs down. In this article, we will explore the benefits of buying an unfinished home and shed light on the opportunities it presents.
One of the most significant advantages of purchasing an unfinished home is the potential for substantial cost savings. By opting for an unfinished property, you can lower your initial investment and enjoy lower monthly mortgage payments. This financial flexibility can be particularly appealing for first-time homebuyers or those working within a tight budget. Moreover, buying an unfinished home may allow you to acquire a property with a larger foundation size. This means that, with time and resources, you have the potential to transform your "Starter Home" into a highly sought-after custom residence.
Typically, an unfinished starter home refers to a property where the upstairs area remains incomplete. The level of unfinished work can vary, depending on the amount of effort you are willing to invest. In some cases, the upstairs may only feature a framed center bearing wall to support the roof trusses. Alternatively, it could include rough framing, electrical wiring, and plumbing. Based on experiences shared by homeowners, not finishing the upstairs can save you approximately 15% to 20% of the overall cost of completing the entire home. For example, a traditionally finished home priced at $200,000 could cost around $160,000 to $170,000 if left unfinished upstairs.
If the properties you are considering have planned attached garages, there may be an opportunity for additional savings. By forgoing the garage, you could potentially save an additional $25,000 to $30,000. Similarly, if there is a planned attached family room, choosing not to include it in the initial construction can yield similar cost reductions as forgoing the garage.
Another area where savings can be achieved is by suggesting to the builder to omit a fireplace temporarily. Instead, a cap can be built on top of the jog in the foundation, allowing for the addition of a fireplace at a later stage. By eliminating the fireplace initially, you may be able to save several thousand dollars. However, it's important to note that builders aim to maximize their profits, so while they may accept some of these ideas, they might not agree to all of them.
It's crucial to consider the requirements set by banks when dealing with unfinished homes. If you plan to secure a mortgage, the bank will likely require the unfinished home to meet livability standards and adhere to local building codes. Consequently, the downstairs area may need to include a room that can function as a bedroom, complete with a door and a closet. This means that a space initially designed for a dining room, den, or living room may need to be modified and built to accommodate a
