It's a tough question for anyone looking to build a new custom home: Do I wait for home construction loan interest rates to go down or move forward on my project?

High interest rates have (unfortunately) become a fact of life in recent years, and they're not just limited to loans for real estate or home construction. Auto, student, and personal loans all have a higher price tag when all is said and done.

If you've ever built a custom home, you know as well as we do that no two are the same.

In most cases, those who become one of our independent dealers already have an established home building company.

Such is the case with Severyn Development. A Lancaster, N.Y.-based construction firm, Severyn had long been doing business in Western New York before becoming one of our Barden Independent Dealers. 

Ask any client who has committed to building a custom home when they'd like their project to be completed, and there's a good chance they'll say, "Yesterday."

For some, the dream of custom homeownership is realized in a very hands-on manner.

Unless you’re working with a client who’s been through the custom home building process before (a rarity), chances are the future homeowners who come through your dealership’s doors will have lots of questions. 

Even in the big city, there’s nothing like having a home that’s unquestionably yours down to the smallest detail. 

The world of custom homes is a much more diverse place than it’s ever been. 

Think of the last vehicle you bought.
