How Much Does it Cost to Build A Home on Your Lot in North Carolina
Moving into your next home is an exciting adventure! The total experience is even better when you have control over every detail of the house and property. That’s where Caruso Homes’ On Your Lot option makes all the difference for homebuyers. Here’s how the process looks when you partner with Caruso Homes.


Understanding The Market

The North Carolina market is popular for home shoppers. For 2021, the Urban Land Institute gave Raleigh-Durham the leading spot on their list of Top 10 Real Estate Markets

Everyone from working professionals to retirees and growing families are calling the Triangle area home. The Triangle offers a good blend of urban and suburban life. That means properties are in high demand and move quickly. Median home prices in Raleigh have risen 6.6% in the past year.

Buying an older, already built home can be more affordable, but you’re limited by what’s available. Finding the perfect house that fits your needs and budget is frustrating in a hot market. You also have to factor in the expense of maintenance, upgrades, and repairs that old homes need. 

In the long run, new construction homes can save you money, plus you’ll enjoy more confidence in your purchase. 

Find The Right Land

The first step in finding your dream home is always location, location, location. Start by making a list of the attributes you are looking for in the perfect home site: How far are you willing to commute to work? Do you want to be in a specific school district? How much land do you want to maintain? What areas allow you close proximity to your career, schools and nearby activities?

Finding land in North Carolina can be tricky, but our Sales Managers are out looking for land daily. Feel free to contact us before you start your search. You could also find a private seller or relative who has land available.

As you research, you’ll want to consider:

  • Zoning: Is the land zoned for residential buildings?
  • Permitting: What permits do you need? 
  • Utilities: Have power and water already been installed?
  • Prep Work: Is the land cleared and leveled for building?

We know this process can be a little overwhelming. Rest assured by partnering with Caruso Homes. We have built on land throughout North Carolina and can help answer these questions and determine if it is feasible to build on the property you found.
