Layton Pics_20120123_7120Building a new home starts with the three key points of real estate; location, location, location.  The proper location for your new house is crucial for a variety of reasons.  A good location will increase in value over time, thus adding value to your home.  A properly placed home will be in a safe, quiet location.  A prime location will be close to fast roadways, shopping centers, and entertainment without being too close for comfort.  The best thing a new home owner could do is  buy a lot they want to build their new home on.

Buying a plot of land comes with a lot of advantages, the first of which is the location.  Buying a plot of land, from a fraction of an acre to a handful of acres, gives you the power to choose where you want to build your home.  You can pick out a lot that is closer to the beach, closer to the highway, or in a more remote location, the choice is up to you when you are searching for a homesite.  Once you have your land you can plan what to build on your lot in Jacksonville Beach, FL, which means you can design your custom home the way you want it.  You have the freedom to have your home on the edge of the property, in the center, in a corner, anywhere you want to take advantage of the natural features on your lot. Buying and building on your own land can also help with your budget as you can search out the best piece of property that is within your price range instead of going uncomfortably higher or lower in an effort to build in a location.  You should not compromise on your home designs when you have the option to build a truly customized home.

Buying your own lot lets you make a truly custom home.  You won’t have a home owner association defining what colors can and cannot be used in painting the outside of your home.  You will have the freedom to make all of your own design decisions which means you can build the home you want to be proud to live in.  You will be able to develop your lot the way you want which means you can install water features, grow gardens, plant flowers, or place a pool on your land.  A plot of land means the freedom to choose what you want to build and how you want to landscape your corner of earth.
