The Lot
Before you can design your home, you need to know how much space you will have on which to build. You need to choose a lot. The three most important things to consider when choosing a lot are location, location and location. If you have lived in an area for a while then you probably know the place you want to build. However, if you are a first time builder, the experience of a real estate agent will help you to determine many of the statistics associated with that lot. For example, you many need to take into consideration water, sewage, and electricity. Many people find a lot that is beautiful but would cost quite a bit of money to bring water sewage and electricity. A real estate agent will also be able to find out the property taxes for the lot, the price of the lot, the quality of surrounding schools, the average sales price of lots or homes in the area, and homeowner association dues and covenants associated with the property.
