Why Build A Custom Home On Your Lot?

It’s no secret the real estate industry has seen a significant shift over the past few years. With the inventory of pre-existing homes in Columbus, Ohio, at a low, many people are choosing to build a custom home. From designing a home that meets your needs to selecting high-quality building materials, American Heritage Homes can help you design and build a new custom home that truly meets your needs and tastes.

So, what is a custom home? We offer a variety of plans as a starting point and can customize to create a one-of-a-kind house where the buyer has complete control over the layout, design, and features. This level of control means that the average price of a buyer’s custom home can vary. If you’ve been searching for custom home builders in central Ohio, you may have also heard the term semi-custom home. Typically semi-custom home builders offer more streamlined floor plans, and the amount of customization you can do with these builders is minimal, which is one of the many reasons why people choose to build a custom home. Some other reasons to build a custom home on your lot are explored below.
