It's time to build a custom home and you are looking for a lot. Investing in Okeechobee land for sale is the first step in the process of relocation. It is wise to take notes and itemize your needs before you begin looking to be sure you get the size and neighborhood you want.

First you must look at your financial picture and overall budget for the project. You have to calculate what your home is worth now and the likely price of sale. Is the cost of comparable to the structure on the new site? You also need financing and a time frame that is workable and feasible for relocation. The area or neighborhood of the lot will determine the price. As always, it is location, location, and location. You want to get the most you can for a fair price.

Choosing your location is critical, but you will pay for a good one. If you want an upper middle class neighborhood, for example, zoned for single family homes, it will have a stated market value. If you want to live higher, it will be that much more. Proximity to public transportation adds to the price as do schools, parks, community pools, shops, and restaurants. If you want to be able to walk in the woods or on the beach, so be it. Just set your sights accordingly.

After the lot type is decided, you will begin to plan your home. It may be one or two-stories and will be an identifiable style - such as ranch, Cape Cod, Tudor, or Craftsman. You hope to get all the factors you need in your purchase, but sometimes you do have to compromise. No matter. It is likely to be a wonderful place where memories are made.

Next on the list are the utilities. The land must already have contracted for electricity, gas, sewage, and trash pickup. You should avoid transitional properties that do not have these in place. At the same time, if you find that there is water recycling, it will be a cost saver in the long run.

The sale of raw land can be tricky depending upon the owner and if there are any liens. There should be no issue as to title before a transfer can take place. Then there is the possibility that the property is bank owned, requiring many months of paperwork.

The food part comes shortly after securing the lot. You know its square footage or acreage and you can start to design a floor plan. You will then decide on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms as well as the floor, bathroom, and kitchen finishes. It is best to know what you want upfront to avoid costly errors and later inconvenient updates. You can of course use your builder but you may want a decorator and a landscape architect.

The fun part starts when you begin to envision the floor plan and layout. The need to decide on paint colors, trim, bathroom and kitchen finishes, floors, and more. You may want to rely on your builder but most people hire the services of a professional decorator to make sure it all gets done right. It is best to work together as a team to accommodate your every need. In the long run, you will have your dream house.
