Ep. 12 | Build vs. Buy - Why More People Are Choosing Land + Custom Homes

In this episode of The Dream Home Doorway, Rachel Starratt sits down with Eric Alarid, Senior Vice President at Tilson Homes, a fourth-generation build-on-your-land homebuilder in Texas. They discuss how building on your own land has changed over the years, the trends shaping home design today, and why more buyers are choosing to build instead of buying a resale or neighborhood home.

 

Whether you’re just starting to dream about building or ready to take the next step, this conversation will give you practical insight and inspiration for making your Dream Home a reality.
