Pricing

“What is the price?” is the first question and the answer is the same as everything else in life that you buy, it depends. Any other answer would be misleading. Would you trust the answer if you asked how much is a car or how much is a bag of groceries? If anyone tells you a price based on minimal information – run the other way! Trying to make the price sound low by either not including a variety of things or assuming the cheapest materials, or both, is a common sales tactic. Our goal is to provide the most accurate price, but we need information that only you can provide. Although most of our completed home projects generally cost from $200 to $300 per square foot, pricing home projects by square footage is a terrible way to estimate the cost and we DO NOT price our homes this way.

A home has thousands of parts, and dozens of people onsite and behind the scenes that are working hard to complete your project. Each home site is different; even a singular floorplan can be built using varying quality levels of materials. Differences in property development such as engineering, septics or sanitary sewers and well installation vs. city water, driveways, tree clearing, land balancing, as well as differences in local building codes and requirements are just a few items that affect the overall price. Each client has their own list of amenities they want in their new home; when calculating costs, everything matters, from the type of exterior finishes to the style of the cabinet knobs.

Discussing your needs with us is the most important step in the process of understanding your expectations of what you want in your dream home. Sharing your vision with one of our housing consultants is the best way to help us provide you with an accurate and realistic cost estimate for your new home.

Our COMPLETE cost of the home project (excluding cost of the property) includes everything required for a finished home. Our complete costs include; design work, site planning, permits, excavation, full basement, two-car garage, covered porch, septic, well, driveway, mechanical, plumbing, flooring, finishes, final painting, and much more. Call us today to discuss your home project so we can provide you with an accurate cost estimate.

Estimate

Oasis Homes understands our homebuyers and in our experience, 100% of our customers make some type of change to the home floor plan and every property/lot is unique. That is the sole reason we do not offer a standard price to our customers.

Our home specialists care about every detail of your home and will take the time to help you with selections to fit your budget.  This process ensures that you receive a home price estimate that fits your personal budget.

We will provide you with various estimates for floor plan options, amenities, project timeframes, and additional items such as property and site requirements, elevation characteristics and budget considerations. We will work closely with you during the entire site improvement and home selection process and provide you costs based on your selections and needs.

We offer both partial and full customization of your home. Most of our homes are designed from an idea or inspired from another floor plan. If you have found the perfect floor plan from one of our standard plans, you can customize everything from the size of the home to the doorknobs and everything in between. We know the selection process can be overwhelming, even for seasoned home buyers, let us help you.

Value

The key to finding value in your home project is understanding what is included so that you can make the best decisions. A floor plan is simply a layout of rooms that shows spaces and physical features of each room. Let our team show you the different building methods and products that can be used in a floor plan and how they affect durability, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and value.

Compare

If you receive a standard price from a builder who does not take the time to identify the type and quality of home that you want, the price you receive will most likely be the lowest quality version of the floor plan. Since there are fixed costs associated with the home project, such as permits and standard business costs, the reduced cost you receive will be made in the quality of the products used to build the house. See the list below for a small sample of the hundreds of differences that can affect the overall price of a home.
