The price per square foot varies depending on many items such as style of home, complexity of lot, and square feet of your space. Likewise, the amenities in your home will change the price per square foot; most likely upwards. Such amenities include the number of "Pinterest" style designs that are requested, flooring, cabinets, and trim. Don't forget the exterior features. Steep roofs, woodwork, and special designs can drive the cost per square foot up as well. Our custom home builder at Pope Company Custom Homes LP will work with you to stay within your budget.

The building of your home happens in stages. For example, foundation, plumbing, framing, HVAC systems, electricity, insulation, sheetrock, cabinets, and so on. Each stage has its own timeline and inspection process. Prior to the construction starting, you will receive a construction timeline from your custom home builder that outlines these stages.

During the building process, buyers should refrain from making large purchases or acquiring any additional credit lines without consulting their lender first. Minor purchases on credit or even one late payment can affect your credit score, which may impact your home loan. Speak with your custom home builder or lender for more information!

Yes! There are several more things required as your home nears competition. These include:

• Lock in your interest rate. About 30 to 45 days prior to closing, your lender should contact you to lock in your loan rate.
• Satisfy final loan conditions to prepare for closing. Your lender will provide you with a list of financial conditions that should be satisfied before closing. Proof of homeowners insurance should be submitted to your lender.
• Review and understand your loan. Federal regulation requires buyers to receive the closing disclosure of their loan at least three business days before closing,. The title company will contact you to confirm the date and time of your closing meeting.
• Set up utilities, change of address forms, and other moving-related items.
