Galveston
Home Builders,
DSW Homes
has made Custom Building in Galveston affordable. Before Hurricane Ike, the
custom home building market was booming. And it was common for homes to start
around $200 per square foot, in addition to the price of buying the lot.
Today,
there has never been a better time to build a home on or around Galveston
Island. With DSW Homes, homebuyers can build a custom home for half the
price of the current home building market. Here are four simple
reasons why it is easier and more affordable than ever for homebuyers to build
in Galveston and surrounding areas:
1. Construction costs have
never been lower. DSW Homes has completed over 200 homes within the last year in Galveston County. With
that volume, current pricings are as low as $65 per square foot for homes that
aren’t in a floodplain, and around a $100 per square foot for those that must
be raised 8-13 feet. That is for an all-Hardipank (Hardiplank?) home
with many included upgrades.
2. There are incredible deals
on home building lots. If it is a house on the beach, the bay, or a canal lot, you
can find building lots as low as $20k. There has never been more inventory of
building lots to choose from.
3. Interest Rates for a home
mortgageare at historic lows. Between 1971 to 2001,
there were only 13 months where interest rates dropped below 6% apr Today,
a fixed rate, 30-year mortgage is around 4%. No one can guarantee what
interest rates will do in the future, but if history tells a story then now is
the time to buy!
4. Added Energy Efficiency in
a building a New Home. New homes are much more energy efficient than older homes.
Recent building codes and good construction practices have created homes that
use less than half the energy of an older home. Whether the new home is for a
primary residence, a weekend home, or a vacation rental; homebuyers will save
money year-after-year on energy.
Located
