How Much Does It Cost To Build a Custom Home?

Building a custom home is an exciting journey, but one of the first questions people ask is: How much does it cost? The answer depends on several factors, including location, size, finishes, and architectural details. At Curington Homes, we believe in transparency and guiding you through every step of the process to create a home that fits both your lifestyle and budget.

Understanding Custom Home Costs

Just like traditional homes, custom home costs vary based on geographic location. In sunny central Florida, where Curington Homes is based, pricing is influenced by factors such as land costs, material availability, and labor rates. For homes built in the last year, our prices have ranged from the $400K range to well over $1,000,000 for luxury estates, with an average home cost between $600,000 to $1,000,000. These costs fluctuate based on market conditions and personal customization choices.

Why Price Per Square Foot Isn’t the Best Measure

Many people ask for a price per square foot, but we always caution that this number can be misleading. Different homes with the same square footage can have drastically different costs depending on architectural complexity, finishes, and structural requirements. We’ve written an entire article on why price per square foot shouldn’t be the primary focus—so be sure to check that out!

Instead, the best approach is to determine the total cost of your custom home and understand what’s included in that number. If your budget is a key factor, we can work with you to adjust the size, finishes, and architectural details to stay within your desired range.

To help simplify the custom home-building process, we offer our Designer Series, which serves as a foundation for customization.
