Frequently Asked Questions
Is a New Construction Home Within My Budget?
New construction isn’t automatically more expensive. On average our homes fall in the price range of $285k - $425k. Many buyers are surprised that their monthly payment is comparable to a resale home. Especially when you factor in lower maintenance, energy savings, and builder incentives.

What Financing Options Are Available?
We work with ALL loan types: Conventional, FHA, VA, RD (Rural development), MSHDA, and other common loan programs.
Many buyers don't realize there are programs that reduce upfront costs or lower monthly payments.
How Long Does It Take to Move Into a New Home?
About 80% of the homes we build are Quick Delivery Showcase Homes. Many are ready in 30, 60, or 90 days — giving you the opportunity to move much sooner than most buyers expect. If you’d prefer to build from the ground up, that process typically takes around 9–10 months.
Your timeline will vary based on the home and options you choose.

No. Pricing is the same whether you work with a Realtor or come directly to us.
In fact, having your Realtor involved ensures you have full representation and guidance throughout the process.
