February 7, 2018 | Paradise Homes on Deer Island

Building a new house can be exciting, even life changing, but all the experts agree on one thing. Careful planning beforehand is essential.

It's always exciting to begin planning a new construction home! Of course a process this big comes with a certain amount of stress and anxiety. You can help ease some of the stress of building a new construction home by simply planning ahead. Proper planning for a custom built home can take months, even years. We can help make this so much easier with some simple considerations!

Most people fortunate enough to be able to build a new construction home consider it their dream home, one filled with all the bells and whistles they've seen in magazines or admired on television. To make the home building process an exciting and fulfilling experience read as much as you can and do your homework!

Deciding on your location should come before choosing a design. "Being a part of Deer Island, you come to realize that homeowners fall in love with the community,” says Samantha Klein, Sales Office Manager for Paradise Homes on Deer Island.

“During the course of their search they might have looked at many model homes, but they drive onto our island and immediately fall in love. That’s where we come in, and where our vision of creating quality built homes to live in is so important.”

Here are three basic tips for those building their first home:

1. When choosing the right community to live in, consider amenities that add to your quality of life like sporting, recreation and entertainment facilities. Deer Island offers panoramic views of the lake along with a round of golf or practice your swing at the driving range. The island offers natural amenities including walking along the pier and seeing all the wildlife that make homes along the shores of the island.
2. When choosing your site, make sure its size suits both your budget and the house design you have in mind. Also check for any height or setback restrictions, and consider the energy savings that can be made by choosing the right solar orientation. We offer a wide selection of lots and home size options.
