Find Land for Your Dream Home
Are you still looking for the right location to build your custom home?
Finding land can be one of the most challenging steps of the new home construction process. Two members of our construction team have their realtors license and can work with you to find the perfect piece of land for building a new home. We can also refer you to one of our exceptional Realtor partners who can help you find the right piece of land to call home.
Finding Land to Build Your New Home
As a custom home builder, we work with our clients to help them build the home they want in the location they want to be in. While some of our clients come to us owning a parcel of land they’re ready to build on, others only have an idea of where they’d like to build - but don’t yet own their land.
We’re more than a custom builder. In addition to our design/build team, we also have Realtor partners who work with our clients to help them locate lots, sell their existing home, and even find an existing home should they decide that building a custom home isn’t right for them.
After twenty years building homes, many Real Estate Agents approach our team first with land opportunities before they are listed on the MLS. We will reach out to our potential building clients with these opportunities if these lots fit their wish list.
INFILL VS OPEN LAND CONSTRUCTION
In new home construction, there are essentially two land purchase types that you will be looking for - Infill Lots or Open Land.
Benefits of Infill, or Teardown, Construction
Our lot list includes a number of teardown or infill construction opportunities. This is often the only way to build in more centrally located and established neighborhoods like Kirkwood, Ladue, and Webster Groves. This involves deconstructing the older, outdated original home and building a new home in its place.
Benefits of Open Land Purchases
In outlying areas of St Louis County and into St. Charles County, you’ll see there are more open land opportunities with more acreage. These parcels of land tend to also have mature trees, natural lakes or streams, and other benefits.
When evaluating land to buy and build on, remember that there will be preparation costs to consider such as tree clearing, leveling, septic, sewer, and water connections.
One thing that makes Hibbs Luxury Homes stand apart is during the process of estimating your cost to build, we take those costs into consideration as part of your overall construction budget.
Land Evaluation Tip: If you want to save money during the excavation and foundation phase of the building process, your best bet is to seek out a lot that is level and wide enough to suit your design, with fewer trees, and easy connection to utilities.
Financing Your Land Purchase & Construction Costs
If you’re looking to roll the cost of land into your overall construction project, we recommend that you reach out to construction lenders or your personal lender to discuss your options. Some construction loans allow you to combine the lot purchase and construction financing into one loan at closing.
As a true custom home builder, Hibbs Homes builds your home plans on the land you own. You remain the owner of your land throughout the construction process!
