The New Era Home Pricing Model
A New Era home offers more high-quality standards than any other Bend area home builder in our price category. We believe you shouldn’t have to pay extra for features like garage man-doors, easy pull drawers, quality fixtures, and appliances. Other builders claim that these are only for luxury homes, but these items and more come standard in every New Era Home.
The price point between our Heritage and Premier Edition homes range from $175-$300 per square foot which is based on the choice of trim options. Trim options, which define each edition, are aesthetic preferences such as flooring, lighting package, appliances, and finish carpentry details. The craftsmanship, workmanship, and the inner-workings of your new luxurious home remain consistently top-notch regardless of which edition you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a semi-custom home?
A semi-custom home starts with a proven floor plan and lets you personalize features like layout, finishes, and materials so the home fits your lifestyle and budget. Many homeowners compare options by looking at semi-custom and fully custom home designs to see which approach offers the right balance of flexibility and cost.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Most homes take between 10 and 18 months to complete, depending on the size, design, and permitting timeline. Factors like weather and site prep can also affect schedules, which is why building a custom home is always a carefully planned process.
How can I build a custom home on a budget?
The best way to stay within budget is to plan ahead, keep the design efficient, and make selections early. Simple design choices and smart material selections can go a long way when building a custom home on a budget.
How do I choose a home builder?
Transparency and communication matter most. Talk with past clients, review completed projects, and make sure your builder understands your goals. Asking about timelines, pricing, and overall experience can help you find the right fit when choosing a home builder.
Is building a custom home more expensive?
Costs vary based on size, design, and materials, but a thoughtfully planned home can deliver long-term value that offsets initial expenses. Whether you’re comparing materials or layouts, custom home costs often depend on the level of personalization you want.
What is the best time of year to build a home?
In Central Oregon, spring and early summer usually offer the best conditions for breaking ground. Starting construction during these months helps avoid delays from cold weather or snow, and the best time to build a house can vary based on your schedule and goals.
Do you need a realtor when building a custom home?
A realtor can help when you’re purchasing land, but once the lot is secured, your builder typically manages the rest. The decision often depends on your situation and whether working with a realtor makes the process smoother for you.
What does “Build on Your Lot” mean?
Build on your lot means constructing your home on land you already own or plan to purchase. It’s a great option for homeowners who’ve found their ideal property and want a trusted builder to bring their vision to life on that site.
