What financing advantages do you offer? 

Building your dream home has never been easier. If you are a qualified landowner, save thousands of dollars through our unique and one-of-a-kind financing program, : No Down Payment, No Construction Loan Costs, and No Closing Costs. We use our cash to self-finance the construction, so there are no loans involved in construction, and therefore no interest costs. It's pure savings to our customers! 

 

Are you limited to building from Mitchell Homes floorplans, or can I provide my own set of plans for construction?

 

Certainly! We welcome the opportunity for you to bring your own set of plans. Our team will promptly provide pricing, typically within 4-6 weeks. Alternatively, we offer a selection of 40 fully customizable floorplans, featuring various elevation choices and an extensive array of options and upgrades.

 

What standard features are included in your homes?

 

Mitchell Homes takes pride in offering an extensive range of standard features to enhance the aesthetics, comfort, energy efficiency, and simplicity of your new home. Additionally, we provide over 40,000 options and upgrades for further customization.


Why build custom?

A custom home is a unique residence designed for a specific client and location, providing control over layout, land placement, and accessibility. At Mitchell Homes, we aim to make the home-building experience exciting and enjoyable, ensuring your investment is well-protected. Hear from our happy clients and find out why building custom with Mitchell is the best choice for you and your family.

What defines a stick-built home and its significance? 

“Stick-built" refers to homes constructed using the traditional method of assembling materials on-site. This approach offers the highest level of customization, building substantial value and equity over time. Researching the resale value of modular homes versus stick-built homes in your area is crucial, as stick-built homes typically exhibit higher appreciation and resale value.

Custom home vs. spec home: What's the difference?

A custom home is tailored explicitly to your preferences, allowing you to make decisions on every aspect of the design. Mitchell Homes offers full customization with over 40,000+ options and upgrades to suit your unique lifestyle. In contrast, a spec home lacks a specific owner and is built based on the builder's perception of market demand, offering limited customization and often overlooking factors such as comfort, view, and quality.

What new home warranty do you provide?

Every Mitchell Home includes a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty as a standard feature.


If you want/need to build a house I would highly recommend Mitchell Homes. They walked us through every step of the building process. There were no surprises, hidden costs or unexpected delays. Even when it was getting difficult for them to get materials, they had a plan, searched and secured the necessary products to complete the build on time. They kept us in the loop by letting us know what was going to take place on a weekly basis. This is a professional group of experienced people and they build a beautiful home. We are so pleased with our new home it is near impossible to put into words. Thank you Mitchell Homes for a job well done!
