We use the phrase "buying a new home" a lot, but usually, the term means the house is new to us, and not necessarily a new build. But there are many advantages to buying a spec, or inventory, home, and it can often be more affordable than many people think.

Caliterra is a new-home community about 20 miles southwest of Austin, on the banks of Onion Creek and surrounded by the best attractions, restaurants, and wineries of the Texas Hill Country.

Why should you buy a spec home there? Here are a few of the top reasons.

Your home is brand-new
It's definitely appealing to know that no one has lived in the home before you. Everything — from the finishes to the appliances — is new and top-of-the-line, and you don't have to rely on someone else's maintenance history.

It's move-in ready
Unlike custom homes, you don't have to wait months while the home is built. Caliterra homes already exist, so you can tour them and check out exactly what you're buying before you're locked into a contract.

You'll save on energy costs
This goes back to the "new" aspect. By building with the most up-to-date materials, you can be sure your home is energy efficient. When your home doesn't have to work as hard to stay warm or cool, then you enjoy the rewards of a lower energy bill.

Safety is assured
Forget about worrying over faulty circuit breakers, outdated electrical wiring, and garage doors that don't close properly. Everything in a Caliterra spec home is not only recently built, but also under warranty. You're covered no matter what.

The amenities can't be beat
When you buy a Caliterra home, you're also buying into the community. And those perks include a resort-style pool; a fishing dock; and Caliterra Commons; which encompasses an event pavilion, a kids' splash pad, and a coffee bar.

You're surrounded by nature
Caliterra is set on 600 acres of rolling Hill Country land, and the developers have been careful to maintain as much of that natural beauty as possible. Jog, hike, or bike on the trails or relax in Treehouse Park. Enjoy 250 natural acres, half of which is devoted to undisturbed green space.

Visit the Caliterra website or contact the director of custom sales, Jeff Edgar, at 512-751-7309 or jeff@caliterraliving.com for more information and to arrange a visit.
