New Homes in the Des Moines Iowa Area

If you're getting ready to buy your first home, or perhaps ready to upgrade from a starter home to the next step up, you will find there's a choice to be made. Should you look for new homes in the Des Moines area, or will you find your dream home from the many pre-owned houses that are available? What are the deciding factors to choose new from old or vice-versa?
Cost could be an issue if you are looking for the least expensive place to live. An older home in a modest neighborhood will probably always be the cheapest type of home for sale. But with age comes problems with upkeep - broken appliances, leaky roofs, etc. Sometimes "cheap" isn't as cheap as it sounded in the beginning.
We have quite a few options for those looking to buy new homes in Des Moines. Some of the pros of choosing to build your own home include being able to choose your color and style, having the most state-of-the-art upgrades available, going "green" with ease, and living where a more active lifestyle is encouraged and planned.
There are several reputable builders for new homes in Des Moines. One of the most well known home "brands" around is Hubbell Homes, who created the house they used in Extreme Makeover. At this time, Hubbell boasts that they have 12 managed communities, a 10 year warranty, all kinds of "green" upgrades with landscaping and other amenities available including pools and outdoor jacuzzis.
They also offer newly built condos and townhomes in the Brownstones Community, 4th Street Condos, and Druid Hill.
Another excellent builder of new Des Moines homes is Quail Valley homebuilders. In business since 1983, they boast having built over 300 homes and winning many awards, including 5 wins of the American Dream Award, and having been president of the Home Builders Assn of Greater Des Moines in prior years.
If you are interested in looking for a homesite or lot in Des Moines to build your home, or you're looking for advice about buying a home or Des Moines Iowa town house, give us a call and we'll be glad to explore the options with you!
