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.

    Premier Edition
    Uncommon Standards

    A fully custom home includes the same unseen, but felt, Uncommon Standards that set New Era Homes apart from our competition. Although your greatest value is in one of our existing editions, you have complete freedom to customize your options. Price per square foot varies based on current material and labor costs.

How we’re different from other custom home builders

Àla carte home builders advertise an artificially low cost per square foot when they list custom homes for sale. This is a very basic home with entry level products and code minimum building processes. Their goal is not to sell this loss leader but to garner sales traffic and upsell to increase margins. Once a homeowner adds a few basic options (something as simple as a forced air furnace with heat pump), the price quickly and dramatically escalates.

On the graph below, there is a noticeable gap between $100-$200. You can certainly reach $150/sq. ft. by adding overpriced options to an àla carte home, but why would you want to? Start out with a high quality New Era Home and if you decide to add options, your money goes considerably farther.

Our greatest reward is from happy homeowners–not from marked up options. We believe the only surprises should be how much home you get for your money and how easy the process is.

Adams

One of the first things you will notice about this ranch style home is the welcoming full width front covered porch. As you enter the home, you will appreciate the roominess of the large great room which is accentuated by tall vaulted ceilings. The split bedroom design offers great separation between the spacious master bedroom and other rooms. The roominess of the master bedroom extends to its large bathroom and walk in closet.

Independence

This moderately sized home design feels remarkably large and comfortable. Its open dining and kitchen concept, tall vaulted ceilings and incredible view wall of windows create an inviting living space that feels light and bright.

This is one of our best selling plans. The large great room shares an open design with the kitchen and dining room. The entertainer’s kitchen features a distinctly shaped island and bar that brings people together while giving the chef room to move.
