What is the difference between a custom home and a production home?

A custom home is designed from scratch for a specific homeowner on their chosen lot, with full control over floor plan, materials, and finishes. A production home is built from pre-designed plans in a subdivision, with limited customization options.

Are custom homes more expensive than production homes?

Custom homes typically cost more upfront, but they offer greater long-term value through higher quality construction, personalized design, premium materials, and better resale potential. At Sage at Marvin, custom homes start from $2M+.

How long does it take to build a custom home vs a production home?

Production homes typically take 6–9 months. Custom homes take longer — often 13–18 months — because every element is individually designed, specified, and crafted. The result is a home built to significantly higher standards.
