Why Buy Now?

We understand that there’s a lot of uncertainty right now surrounding the housing market, so we’re here to provide some information about what’s actually going on. 

Did you know that we are in a buyer’s market? Gone are the days of bidding wars, foregoing inspections, and buying a home you’ve never seen in person (thank goodness!). As the market stabilizes, buyers are finding more flexibility and options than they’ve seen in years, and builders are getting creative with programs to help more people take the next step. Current market conditions mean acting now gives buyers more control, selection, and value. Buyers are more capable than they have been in years of getting what they want for a price they can afford. 

But these conditions won’t last forever. As soon as rates change or demand increases, many of today’s buyer programs will scale back, making now the best time to take advantage of buyer-friendly conditions. Current incentives are designed to make homeownership more achievable, with options like rate buydowns and design upgrades that help bring your dream home within reach. According to Fannie Mae, mortgage rates are projected to stay steady around 6% in 2026, so there’s no reason to wait. It’s a smart time to buy in a stable market.

Most of all, buying now means you get to live in the right house for you. No more scheduling bathroom time to get ready in the morning, being two rooms away from your family while you finish cooking dinner, working from home at your dining room table, or using your garage as storage. You deserve a home that fits your lifestyle today. 

Reasons to Build with Keystone Custom Homes

At Keystone Custom Homes, our number one goal is to build your dream home while giving you a seamless experience and a well-constructed home that will last you a lifetime. That means we are raising the bar and offering things other builders won’t. 

Design selections at your fingertips

Let’s start with the design process. When you build your new home with Keystone Custom Homes, you get access to a system called KeyChoices, where you can see all the design options for you new home and click on the features you want to add. This program makes the design process significantly faster and more efficient and gives you more control. Make additional customizations with PCRs (Personal Choice Requests) and Design Time for more unique options. But don’t worry, our Designers will still be with you throughout the process to guide you through making those selections. 

Daily updates on construction

At Keystone, we believe communication is one of the key ingredients to a seamless process. That’s why we created the MyKCH app. When you build with Keystone Custom Homes, you will have access to the MyKCH app, where your Construction Manager will send daily photos and updates. You can see exactly where your home is in the construction process and ask any questions you may have directly through the app.

Better insulation, soundproofing, and structural integrity

Every Keystone home is built with intentional details that enhance strength, comfort, and longevity. From thicker siding, solid framing, and engineered floors to advanced drainage, HVAC design, and water protection systems, each feature is crafted for lasting performance. These quality-driven standards reduce maintenance, improve efficiency, and protect your investment—making now the perfect time to build.

More unique designs for better value 

We believe every home should be unique. You deserve better than a cookie-cutter home in a neighborhood where every house looks the same. That’s why we offer a wide selection of floorplans in all our communities, each with several different elevations, to make sure that no two homes in the community are the same. This helps you maintain the value of your home by creating something truly unique. 

Industry-leading 20-year structural warranty

There’s no doubt in our minds that our homes are built to the highest standards. That’s why we back our homes with a 20-year structural warranty. You can have the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are covered if anything goes wrong with the structure of your home. 

For the greater good

When you buy a Keystone Custom Home, you are helping end poverty all over the world. Keystone Custom Homes is 90% owned by The National Christian Foundation, which supports organizations like HOPE International, a non-profit organization that provides microfinance loans to people in Third World countries so they can start a business. Those business owners are then able to get their children educated so they can move to bigger cities and get jobs, thus ending the cycle of poverty. When you build with Keystone, you get to be a part of something bigger.
