      How to finance your new home

      Travars Built Homes offers choices for your custom home financing.

      Custom homes built on your lot require construction to perm financing. Our Preferred Lenders offer competitive rates and a variety of programs for you to choose from, including:

      • One or two time close options
      • Low down payments
      • And interest only payments during the construction phase

      If you already own a lot, your lender will talk with you about how that can impact your construction loan.

      If you are purchasing a lot for your home, the lender will talk with you about options, including wrapping the lot purchase into the construction to perm loan, with one transaction going forward.

      And our three-step pre-build process enables you to know important information about land you are considering purchasing, and how site specific requirements can impact your bottom line.

      Based in Chatham County, North Carolina Travars Built Homes builders bring decades of award winning experience to custom home building. learn what TBH has to offer, including direct communication with your builder team, pricing reliability, and third party certified energy efficiency.

      Custom Home Pricing

      Build costs are detailed and transparent at Travars Built Homes

      We don’t have a generic “price per square foot” because we build custom homes from cottages to estates. “Square feet” is only part of what custom home pricing is based on, including:

      • What is the architectural style?
      • How big is the footprint? 
      • How much square footage is downstairs?
      • How much square footage is upstairs?
      • How high are the ceilings?
      • How big and how many windows and doors?
      • How extensive is cabinetry and countertops in the kitchen, bathrooms, and mudroom?
      • How many bathrooms does the plan have, and how big are they?
      • Extensiveness of built-ins
      • Garage size
      • Covered porches, screen porches, outdoor living areas

      Knowing what it takes to build your new home at your homesite can make a big difference as you consider your choices. Build costs can differ depending on where you are building your home, due to things like:

      • Local regulations and impact fees
      • Community covenants
      • Topography
      • Water sources
      • Length of driveway
      • Streams, rock and other natural elements
