Knowing your options is the first step toward finding your dream home.

What is a New Construction Home?

A new construction home is a house that has been built recently and has never been lived in before. These homes are typically built from the ground up, using the latest designs, materials, and technology. Buyers have the opportunity to personalize certain features of the home such as fixtures, finishes, and layout. New construction homes often come with warranties for appliances and structural components, providing peace of mind for buyers.

New construction homes boast benefits like low maintenance, personalized floor plans, energy efficiency, financial incentives, warranties, and access to prime locations.

What is a Quick Move-In Home?

A Quick Move-in Home refers to a new construction home that is already built and ready for immediate occupancy. Our home-building professional team has chosen the floor plan and design selections. Our quick move-in homes are designed with your needs in mind, featuring finishes and amenities that incorporate the latest trends and cater to modern lifestyles. 

Opting for a quick move-in home with Gemcraft Homes means you get to experience the convenience of a move-in-ready home without compromising on quality or style. Much like an existing home, you could buy and settle your new home in a time frame that fits your needs rather than the construction process. The quickness of a resale but all the benefits of a new construction home.

What is the Difference Between a To-Be-Built and a Move-In Ready Home?

Overall, a to-be-built home is a house that has not yet been constructed, allowing the buyer to choose the location via a homesite option in a community, from our selection of off-site lots, or one they have found and purchased on their own, and personalize the design, layout, and features according to their preferences. To-be-built homes require more time and patience as the construction process can take several months to complete. 

On the other hand, a move-in ready home is a house that is already built and ready for immediate occupancy. These homes are typically fully constructed and equipped with all necessary amenities, making them a convenient option for buyers who want to avoid the wait associated with building a new home.
