“Peace of Mind Starts with a Home That Fits”
Hi, I’m Carrie Thompson, your Digital Marketing Realtor here in Genesee County.
I know the challenges of buying new construction not just as a realtor, but as someone who has personally gone through the process myself.
I’ve walked in your shoes, felt the stress of endless decisions, and celebrated the moment the keys to a brand-new home were finally in hand.
That experience, combined with helping countless families locally, allows me to guide you step-by-step without the overwhelm.
I know how you feel, tired of constant repairs, high utility bills, and weekends eaten up by home projects instead of family time.
Many of the families I work with felt the exact same way.
They loved their homes but hated the stress that came with maintaining something 40+ years old.
They wanted a safe, modern space where their kids could grow up without worrying about what might break next.
What they found is that new construction isn’t just about a shiny new house it’s about peace of mind.
Lower bills, no surprise repairs, and a community designed for busy families.
They discovered that moving into new construction gave them back their weekends, their energy, and their confidence in their investment.
New construction homes in Genesee County are selling fast and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
With prices and interest rates shifting, waiting could cost you the home that’s right for your family

How much does it cost to build a new home in Genesee County?
Building a house in Genesee County, Michigan generally costs between $200,000 and $400,000, but can vary significantly based on factors like size, design, and chosen materials. The average cost per square foot for new construction can range from $165 to $275 or more, depending on the level of customization. Builders often offer packages that keep costs predictable, and I’ll walk you through what’s included so there are no surprises.
What questions should I ask a builder before I commit?
Before signing with a builder, here are some must-asks:
What’s included in the base price, and what counts as an upgrade?
What’s the estimated build timeline, and how do you handle delays?
How do you communicate during the process (weekly updates, site visits, etc.)?
Can I tour completed homes or speak with past clients?
These questions will save you stress later and since I’ve been through the process personally, I’ll help you ask the right ones at the right time.
What’s the new construction process like?
Building a new home happens in phases:
Planning & Permits – choosing your floor plan, finishes, and site prep.
Framing & Utilities – the house takes shape and essential systems go in.
Walkthroughs – you’ll have chances to inspect framing, finishes, and final touches.
Closing & Keys – final inspection, warranties, and move-in day.
It’s exciting, but also a lot of moving parts; that’s why having someone on your side makes all the difference.
What extra costs should I budget for when building?
Besides the base price, be prepared for:
Lot prep & utility hookups (varies by location)
Permits & inspection fees
Upgrades like flooring, countertops, or smart-home features
Landscaping or decks not always included in the builder’s package
I always recommend having a small “buffer fund” that way, you can say yes to upgrades that make your home feel truly yours.
