How long does it take to build a Centennial Home and will you keep me informed?

Centennial excels when it comes to keeping our customers informed of our progress.  We have recently introduced private customer information sites so customers can keep track of their projects via the net.  Take a look at one.

Last year we finished one house in in 129 days.  Another home took us 208 days.  On average we can complete a home in 23 weeks.  There are many factors that can effect the time that your new home will be under construction.  Here are a few:

  • The size and complexity of your new home will certainly make a difference.
  • Weather during winter and spring can cause delays.
  • Restrictions placed on us by your development or township can delay work.
  • Out of state lenders often cause delays as their inspection process can be protracted.

How much will it cost me for a building Lot?

The cost of a building lot is ultimately determined by the market place.  How big it is.  Where the lot is located, how close to transportation, sewer lines, schools and hospitals will also make a difference.  Monroe County has been divided into communities, subdivisions and developments with various amenities.  We have seen lots sell for as little as $20,000.00 and as much as $200,000.00  Centennial Homes is a full service Real Estate company so we are able to help you with the search.

Are there any hidden costs?

There are no hidden costs, but there are some additional costs associated with your specific lot and house.  When you come in for a visit we will be more than happy to advise you about any expenses associated with your choices.  Most of the common expenses are listed below:

  • A source of clean water - either a well or connection to a central system.
  • A place for sewage - either a septic system or connection to a central sewer.
  • Building permits and code inspection fees.
  • Building plans.
  • Additional items required by your township or development.

You can relax.  Centennial Homes, Inc. has built hundreds of homes over the last twenty years and we can help you through the process.
