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.

Contact us for more details about your down payment, the lending process, custom home financing, and building on your lot:

Custom Home Pricing

How much does it cost to build a custom home on your lot?

It depends on your parcel, your plan, and your preferences. At Travars Built Homes, pricing is transparent, builder-led, and tailored to your vision — starting with a detailed turnkey quote that includes typical site work like well, septic, clearing, and more.

How Do I Get Pricing?

Have a plan in mind? Send it to us.

Still exploring? Tell us what you want in your home — and your build budget. We’ll suggest floor plans that can align with your goals.

Your initial consultation includes in depth information for a complete build package. Your turnkey quote will include the build, typical site work allowances, and custom flexibilities. After a homesite evaluation with the builder, we’ll add site-specific considerations.

What Makes Travars Built Different?

Customizable Floor Plans – Browse our extensive online catalog, bring your own, or describe your wish list. We can customize nearly any plan — with in-house design support.
Beyond-Standard Features – Hardwood floors, premium cabinetry, extensive stone surfaces, energy efficiency, and more are already built in — with a “forever home” mentality.
Transparent Pricing – Your custom home quote is turnkey, with detailed specifications, generous customization choices, and transparent allowances — to help you make informed decisions.

What Impacts Custom Build Costs?

Every custom home is a unique project, shaped by your choices and your land. Total build costs can be further influenced by:

Architectural Design – Porches, rooflines, footprint and layout all play a role in the complexity of your build.
Selections & Finishes – The depth of detail in your quote will reflect what’s special about our upscale “standards.” Our design/build capability can further enhance the possibilities — such as expanded outdoor living areas, additional built-ins, or luxury elements.
Lot Conditions – Well, septic, slope, tree clearing, and driveway length are just the start of what we take into consideration as we evaluate your homesite together.
Permitting & Local Impact Fees – These vary by county and are factored into your site-specific estimate

You’ll work one-on-one with the builder — for guidance you can trust and decisions you can feel confident about.
