When it comes to building new construction homes in Coastal Mississippi, some homebuyers opt for a different route, focusing their attention on spec homes.
What Is A Spec Home?
A spec home is short for a speculative house, I like to call them new inventory homes as they still have the builder’s bells and whistles.
The homes usually deliver what a typical buyer wants regarding space, comfort and convenience. The builder offers the homebuyers limited customization, if any, but includes the standard features and finishes most requested within a specific market. Here are some of the top advantages of buying a builder’s spec home.
Everything Is New
Since spec homes are brand new, you won’t have to worry about making substantial repairs immediately, which is better for your wallet. A pre-built home is also appealing since buying and moving can be stressful. Imagine adding a list of repairs on top of that. If you’re interested in an unfinished spec home, you might be able to make some changes. This will largely depend on the building stage and the homebuilder.
See It Before You Buy It
If you’re building a custom home from blueprints, you may not have a clear picture of it for quite some time. Although renderings can seem realistic, being able to experience a home in person is unmatched. You’ll get to walk through a spec home and examine the fine details to get a feel for the space. Some builders stage spec homes to give you a better idea of utilizing the area effectively.
Further Advantages To Buying A Pre-Built Spec Home
Purchasing a home that already includes all the bells and whistles is appealing. Other advantages of spec homes include:
- Move-in ready
- Faster closing times in many cases
- Save money with no repairs
- Consists of the builder’s warranty
- Fewer decisions to make on the design
- Includes current styles for interior selections such as cabinetry, tile and granite or quartz
If you’re considering a spec home or have already fallen in love with one, you should explore that further. After all, there are many advantages to buying a spec home, and many builders on the Secret Coast have an inventory of them, including Elliott Homes, D.R. Horton and Adams Homes, making this a very likely option in your home search.
