You can spot the advantages above. While pricing and square footage may be similar, the comparison stops there. By purchasing a new home, you find newer floorplans that live the way you want to live today, modern designs and new finishes throughout the home, warranties from top to bottom, lot selection, and significant energy efficiency through improved technologies.
Plus, the one-of-a-kind, customizable homes in Talking Rock’s Outlaw Collection are perfect for those who want to speed up the custom-home on a custom-lot timeline. Save time with the Outlaw Collection, a process that streamlines the architectural, approval and construction process, allowing you to have exactly the home you want in short order. These homes are available with personalized options that include added bunkhouses, extended patios and rooms, and more.
The Outlaw Collection is just one offering at Talking Rock; the Ranch Cottages and new Dorn Home collections offer more choices, and more peace of mind, than ever.
