If you find yourself looking into building a home, you may wonder if custom home design is the route you want to take. It can be hard to know if a custom home design is worth the cost. Here are some of the pros and cons of custom home design that will help you decide whether it is right for your home.

Pros: 

• Exactly What You Want: As custom implies, you can customize your home however you like. Rather than having to pick a home that fits your needs and then accommodate your life to the home, you can simply make the home exactly what you want from the start.
• Unique: With a custom home comes uniqueness. Your home will be different from every other home, because no home will have a matching design. Your custom home design will be special and specific to your home. 

Cons:

• Price: It goes without saying but customizing your home will cost more than an already existing production home design. 
• Difficulty: Building a production home will not only take longer due to the customization, but you will also have to find the exact spot for it. It may be harder to find a perfect plot for your custom home than a production home within a neighborhood of similar homes.
• Appraisal Issues: Since your home is like nothing else on the market, it may be hard to figure out how much it is worth. This can create issues with appraisals, selling, and loans later down the line if it is hard to know how much the home is worth.

Creating a custom home design can be worth it, but there are also difficulties. If you have the money and time to spend on your perfect home, then a custom home design is right for you.
