Building a New Home in Nevada - Buy or Build a House in 2021?
Feb 23, 2021

Are you planning to move to a new house and afraid to make a bad decision? Both buying and building a house is an important and exciting step forward, but they still can drive you crazy with all the paperwork to deal with and money to spend. So, how to choose the better option for your budget and needs? 

New home construction in Las Vegas area

Nevada has a very active real estate market with lots of homes for sale. Houses get sold fast and new ones keep coming onto the market, so there’s no lack of real estate here. Due to many new construction projects, the cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson are constantly attracting so many homeowners and homebuyers. Their neighborhoods including Summerlin, Green Valley Ranch, Lake Las Vegas, Seven Hills, Southern Highlands, Royal Highlands, Anthem, The Fountains, etc. are the most desired locations for building new homes. If you want to buy a house, Titon Construction Company will provide you with new construction home listings, so that you could learn more about homes for sale in Nevada and choose the most suitable one for you. 

Is it cheaper to buy or build a new home?

Both buying and building a new home lay a huge responsibility on you. However, we can say for sure that the quicker process is definitely buying a property, as you can move in as soon as you've paid for it. On the other hand, building a property gives you much more freedom and control. You get to choose every detail and feature of your future home from the location to the number and size of rooms to finishing touches inside and outside. But be ready to wait till you could finally live in your newly-built home. To facilitate the construction process and make it less stressful, it’s really worth hiring a professional new custom home builder who will deal with all permits you need and do a quality job with the funding you provide.

When it comes to prices, building new homes in Las Vegas is usually more expensive than buying, especially if you want to implement every single unique detail and feature. However, the price mostly depends on the location. That’s why building a home could often end up being cheaper.

Titon General Contractor can estimate your construction project, so that you’ll know approximately how much your custom home will cost you. Our new construction home listings will help you compare similar houses for sale in different communities of Las Vegas, Henderson or North Las Vegas. This is a good strategy for you to figure out what will be cost-effective for you: buying or building a new home.

How much does it cost to build a home in Las Vegas?

Lots of people are scared to start a new construction project and build their customized home because they don’t know the overall cost and the extra expenses it’ll bring about. Building a new home in Las Vegas varies from $400,000 to $10,000,000.  The price mostly depends on a number of factors including:

  • Location of the land
  • Size and type of your home
  • Selected building materials and products

  • Cost of residential construction services in the area

You should find a reliable construction company near you to get a clearer understanding of what will work best for you. At Titon, we’ll ensure home construction by licensed contractors that will meet your price range. 

What is the most expensive part of building a house?

Building a new house in Nevada requires a long list of different jobs done on every stage of construction. In most cases, one of the most expensive parts of building a home is interior finishes. They usually include cabinets, countertops, doors, trims, mirrors, drywall installation, flooring, lighting, painting, insulation, appliances, plumbing fixtures and fireplace. There are various materials on offer that define the cost of the work done.

What’s also going to be quite pricey in custom home construction is foundation and framing. These are the core things of any house, so foundation and framing work have to be done properly with top-quality materials.
