Building a custom luxury home definitely has its perks. From crafting the ideal outdoor space to designing your dream bedroom, it can be difficult to focus on finances.

Contrary to popular belief, there are a few ways to benefit monetarily when you invest in a custom luxury home.

Go Green!           
While a high-performance home may cost more to build, the long-term energy savings are invaluable.  Adding sustainable features to your custom home will dramatically increase your energy efficiency, reduce your environmental impact and ultimately, lower your costs.

Splurge on the Kitchen
The general consensus among real estate professionals is that home buyers consider the kitchen to be the highest priority room in the house.

So, what does that mean for you?

Well, it may be just enough leverage to convince your better half that you need to splurge on those granite countertops.  Choosing to upgrade every room in the house may not be an option for you. If you’re deciding where to shell out the extra cash, those kitchen cabinets may be a good place to start!

Concentrate on Curb Appeal
You have one chance to make a first impression, right? Put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer.  Interior decorating may be your second calling, but your home’s exterior is just as important when it comes to maximizing the ROI of your custom home.

Designing windows that are dramatic and durable can really boost your curb appeal. If you’re designing a custom home, you should find plenty of quality window options to choose from. Make sure you’re given accurate warranty information when deciding which option to go with.

Regardless of your home building budget, following these simple tips can help increase your return on investment.
