I was at dinner this last week with a group of friends. One of my friends is considering buying a new house or building a new house. He’s been on the fence about it for a couple years now. In between bites of delicious chicken, he asked, “Freddy, in your opinion, is it better to buy an existing home or build a custom home in Kuna in 2023?” I laughed a little because, this was a question that he had asked me every year for the last three years. However, given that he has had the question persistently on his mind, I felt it would be a good blog post to respond to for others seeking guidance on whether or not they should build a custom home in 2023. I’m not a big fan of writing out pro and con lists, so I’ll refrain from doing that and take a more analytical approach based on my “insider” knowledge of building custom homes.
