There’s no place like a new home: 5 reasons to build with Visionary Homes in Southern Utah

When searching for a place to live, many people face the quandary of building a new home versus buying an existing home. But wouldn’t you rather choose your own flooring, window coverings, cabinets and more? Imagine having everything in your brand-new house reflect your unique style, truly making it feel like home.
The opportunity to build a new home is one of the most exciting milestones in life, and Visionary Homes knows exactly what today’s buyers want. They’re a Utah-owned and operated builder developing neighborhoods that are all about lifestyle.
“Visionary Homes built over 800 homes all across the state last year, and we provide a world-class experience when it comes to design and construction,” said Matt Relei, director of sales for Visionary Homes in Southern Utah. “So, my question to any prospective home buyer in today’s market is, ‘Why not buy new?'”
Get a fresh start
There’s nothing like moving into a newly built home, Relei said. You don’t have to worry about finding stains in the carpet or discovering mildew underneath the sink. Allergens and health hazards like smoke, mold and pet dander are removed from the equation.
“There’s peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re the first person to live in a home,” he added. “It’s all-new, and it’s all yours.”
It’s not cheaper to buy used
In today’s market, new construction is often priced very similarly to existing homes. If you had an opportunity to buy a newly built home for only slightly more, why wouldn’t you?
With new construction, you won’t need to budget your finances and time to complete immediate home repairs. Visionary Homes employs construction superintendents and project managers to make sure the job is done right the first time. All new homes are move-in ready on day one.
It’s not cheaper to remodel, either
Older homes have character, but with it comes age-related problems that are often costly to repair and replace. Depending on the age of the home, some aspects of its construction, such as wiring and insulation, may no longer be up to code. Another concern is DIY “upgrades” by past homeowners that might not follow code at all.
“If the remodel is something simple and quick, maybe that’s the house for you,” Relei said. “But getting a fixer-upper or finding extensive problems after purchase can make a remodel cost as much as buying another house.”
Built for living, built to last
With a commitment to premium craftsmanship, Visionary Homes builds houses that buyers are proud to call home. The company prioritizes comfort, energy efficiency and delivering a high standard of construction that’s as close to perfect as it gets.
Every new home is protected by a builder’s warranty for added peace of mind. If any unforeseen mechanical, technological or structural problems arise within a specific period of time, Visionary Homes employs a loyal network of subcontractors that will return and take care of the issue as quickly as possible.
Design your dream home
If you have the flexibility of time, you can choose your home site in one of Southern Utah’s exciting new communities and really make it your own. Visionary Homes operates a state-of-the-art design studio in St. George with hundreds of samples to consider, including flooring, cabinets, countertops and fixtures, plus full-size interior vignettes. A professional designer will guide you through every step of personalizing your dream home.
The company also offers quick move-in homes that have already been professionally designed and built. This way, you can enjoy all the benefits of a new home without waiting for construction to finish. Visionary Homes offers a comprehensive lineup of floor plans to fit every buyer’s wants and needs.
Offering a wide range of styles and sizes, Visionary Homes is currently building and selling in four unique Southern Utah communities.

“We’re building in great communities with phenomenal locations and amazing amenities,” Relei said. “Being able to build or buy new is an amazing chapter in people’s lives, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide that experience.”
