You’ve made a huge decision on your family’s future – you’re partnering with a local homebuilder to build your dream home. You’ve consider small but important details like which elevation and color scheme to choose and more consequential decisions like whether to live in a new subdivision or build on your own lot. One of the most exciting aspects of the new home construction process is deciding which of the homebuilder optional features you want to add to the design and what floorplan will work best for you & your family.
After evaluating your family’s lifestyle, touring newly built houses & model homes, and hiring the best new home construction company for your needs you’ve decided that when you build your home – it’s going to be a ranch.
Be excited – there are many great benefits to you & your family for living in a ranch style home. While the list could be much longer, here are five of the most terrific reasons to build a ranch home.
- Accessibility & Safety: Ranch style floorplans, with some of their most notable design features including single-story & open floorplans, makes them easily accessible for people of all ages and abilities. At the same time, the lack of stairs throughout the house makes it safer for children, the elderly, and those prone to falls.
- Customization, Flexibility & Adaptability: Ranch style floorplans offer tons of flexibility & customization to please a wide variety of personal preferences. Ranch built homes can come in many shapes – L’s, T’s and U’s being among the most popular – and sizes with various types of floorplans to best suit your family’s lifestyles and taste. And they’re highly adaptable in two ways. 1) Architectural design to fit any style or climate no matter if you live out west in the desert or along the coast of Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio – ranches can be built to suit any backdrop and… 2) Ranches, given their single-story design, are easier to put on additional rooms and make structural changes than their two-story counterparts.
- Affordability: According to HomeBuyer.com ranches, despite often requiring more roofing and foundation space, tend to have “simpler and more concise” layouts and thus typically reduce the cost to build a new home versus other styles. For example, HomeBuyer.com says ranches are $150 per square foot to construct vs. $300 per square foot for a colonial on average. Additionally, ranches are known for being, both, single story and for allowing in more natural light which can positively impact your monthly utility expenses.
- Natural Light & Views: Typically built as single-story homes, ranches are well known for allowing in natural light which can create a warm and inviting feel as well as offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. No matter if you live near the mountains, ocean, or suburban housing development – wherever you are – most ranches will provide a wide variety of great views of areas around your home.
- Resale Value: According to MarketWatch.com ranch homes are among the best when it comes to resale value. Several factors which include single floor living, lower maintenance cost, accessibility and flexibility are just a few of the reasons why.
