5 Questions to Ask Yourself When Picking a Floorplan

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a new home. Your needs and your lifestyle should help prioritize and influence your decision of selecting a floorplan. As a premier Charlotte NC home builder, we specialize in new construction and redevelopment. Whether you’re looking for a single-family home or a townhome or duet home, we offer a variety of floorplans to fit your needs. Answer these five questions to help you pick the right floorplan.

Why are you moving? – This is an important question to ask yourself. Maybe you are currently renting and looking to purchase a home. Or you may lack space and need more room. Your family could be growing or downsizing. Knowing why you are moving can help put your needs into perspective.
What are you needs? –This can include square footage, storage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, a mudroom, garage, dedicated workspace, or anything that are nonnegotiable requirements needed for you to live comfortably in your new home.
What are your wants? – Your wants can include paint color, flooring, double ovens, walk-in closets, two-car garage, a fireplace in your living room or bedroom, or a front porch or rear deck. These are features in a floorplan may not be necessary but could enhance your quality of life. Some of your wants may even be needs depending on your lifestyle.
Do you want an open-concept home or more tradition? – Do you prefer hosting intimate dinners at home? Then maybe a traditional floorplan is more your style. Or you may like to host and entertain so open concept floorplan is the right choice. Knowing your style will help you choose the floorplan that is right for you.
What is your current and future lifestyle? – We offer an array of different floorplans. Consider how you plan on using the space and how you would like to experience the space. The last thing you want to do is purchase a new home that does not fit your lifestyle. At the same time, you should keep your long-term needs in mind. Maybe you’re planning a family in a couple of years or aging and will need single story living in the future. Select something that you can not only live in comfortably but also grow into so that you don’t run out of rooms and space.

When selecting a floorplan, it’s important to picture yourself living there. We are a preferred Charlotte NC home builder who offers a Build on Your Lot program.

“After working with Vista Homes for over two years and being a part of hundreds of custom home builders in Charlotte, I can say there is not another builder with the talent and processes to ensure a quality build from start to finish like Vista Homes. With their understanding of the Charlotte real estate market, current construction standards, and systems to ensure a quality product. The value Vista Homes provides for their customers is unmatched.”

"I used Vista Homes to purchase my very first home and from beginning to end the process was seamless. I had biweekly calls with Chandler (the best there ever was) where she gave me updates and was super transparent about everything. Every single update was communicated effectively via email or on our calls! I was SO impressed. Never did I feel left out or unsure about what was happening during the building process. Then there is Mariessa... whenever I had a random odd question she always had an answer. Needless to say I had a fantastic experience with my first home and I would highly recommend Vista!"

Brantley B.
"Vista (specifically Chandler and Mariessa) were amazing to work with. They kept me informed throughout the process and answered my million questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone! I felt very informed and kept up to date on everything happening throughout the process. They were also super flexible in working around my schedule."

“We have been in our Vista Home for over a year and still can't believe we’re fortunate enough to live here! Vista provided us with our dream home at an incredible value. A recent appraisal estimates that we have gained $70k in equity already. If you are looking for a beautiful, quality home in some of the hottest areas in Charlotte. I highly recommend you look at a Vista home."

David S. and Catherine C.
“We love our Vista home! The Vista team was easy to work with and very responsive. We found our own lot and worked with Vista to build on it. It was perfect, as we were able to save some costs compared to a custom build and not have to stress about every little detail. We get complimented often on the quality of our finishes, fixtures, and appliances, which are all standard in Vista homes!”

“Quality was top notch and our home was completed ahead of schedule. Communication and transparency were amazing. Mariessa and Chandler also went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make sure any concerns were addressed. We are so grateful to have worked with Mariessa, Chandler, and the rest of the Vista team.”

“We have been so pleased with our new Vista home! The floorplan and finishes were exactly what we were looking for in a new home in NoDa. The project managers, sales coordinator, and other services we received in regards to our home were top-notch. Special thanks to Ariel, who addressed every detail and made it all so perfect! Thank you Vista Homes for building just where we wanted to be! We couldn’t be happier with our new home.”

“During the homebuying process, we came across what is now our beautiful Vista home. We spent countless days and nights researching and making sure we were making the best decision possible.
