WHAT WILL MY NEW DREAM HOME COST?

Be Informed, Be Ready
Now that you have selected a 1 acre lot in Shady Oaks Estates; live oaks, perfect orientation, good neighbors and priced within your budget: the house plan begins:

What will the home cost?
1. Size--rooms--garage--guest house--pool
  •  Can’t decide, not sure?
2. Features--what comes with the home
  •  What designer features do you want?
3. Insulation
  •  What do you want other than standard insulation?

What does not cost anything but a little of your time?

1. Write down a wish list and a need list.
2. Fill out a form on line with Schwertner State Bank for pre-approval.
3. Select a plan or select ideas from various plans.
4. Make an appointment to discuss exactly what you do and do not want in your new home.

Now would be a perfect time to for us to discuss your Jimmy Jacobs Custom Home building options. No obligation---my goal is to help you make an informed decision. Building costs are down and interest rates are low. But, interest rates are starting to creep up. And, who knows where building costs will be in 6 to 12 months.

To discuss building in Shady Oaks Estates, call 512-639-3653 or visit the model home at 501 Oak Branch Drive to speak with me.

HOW TO SELECT THE PERFECT LOT

FIRST STEP IN BUILDING YOUR NEW
JIMMY JACOBS CUSTOM HOME
IN SHADY OAKS ESTATES

Building a Jimmy Jacobs Custom Home versus buying a house already completed is a decision only you can make. The ability to make decisions about your property, the details of your home and watch it under construction is very appealing to most people. First decision you must make is “The Lot”. You will select your very own one acre lot. There are many factors to take into consideration in selecting your piece of land.

Lot Selection:
• Price:
Work within your budget. There are many one acre lots available at various prices.
• Orientation: Meaning which direction do you want your home to face. Do you want the sun on the front or back of your home in a particular time of the day?
• Trees: Are trees important to you? How do you plan to landscape? Are you planning for a pool?
• Topography: Very important to consider if you want a level lot so you will not have steps in or around your home. It is much easier to build a pool on a level lot. Most important be prepared for added costs on a lot with slopping topography.

Why Build:
• It is your home:
You will have control over all the features and options that will affect you and your family.
• Ownership: You gain a sense of ownership from the very beginning of the process. You are able to watch over every step of your home construction.
• Experts: The team members at Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes are experts; you will have your own team of professionals to guide you.
