When you're ready to buy a home, you have to decide where, for
how much ... and whether to build it from scratch.
Marnie Oursler, star of "Big Beach
Builds," says it comes down to your lifestyle — not just the
way you intend to live in the home, but the way you live now.
Oursler is the founder of Marnie Homes, a custom building
company in Bethany Beach, Delaware. She's been building since
2003, and she loves the challenge and the process of building.
But that doesn't mean everyone will.
"If you're torn between building and buying, buying takes a lot
less decisions, and you know upfront the exact cost and
exactly what you're getting," she told Business Insider. "If
you're the type of person who mentally needs to know that, then
buying is probably right decision for you."
Building, on the other hand, "is more abstract.
You're starting with a clean slate, the design is brand new,
and the cost is unknown until you can price it out," she
said.
She says "if you're OK with the abstract process," then
building can help you "get exactly what you want."
But you're going to have to put in the time. "It's probably doing
something for the new house every day," she said. "If you don't
have the time to commit to it, then it's going to be a lot harder
of a process. You need the time to commit, or the ability to make
decisions quickly. I've had homeowners who were very busy but
were able to make decisions quickly, and we could help them with
that."
"Big Beach Builds" will premiere on DIY Network on
Monday, March 20th, at
9:00 P.M. EST and 9:30 P.M.
EST.
