How to plan right when interest rates are 7% or higher

How to plan right when interest rates are 7% or higher

When borrowing costs more, surprises cost more too. A redesign halfway through, a well or septic question nobody asked early, or a change order after walls are up can all stretch a construction loan, and at today's rates that adds up. That's why we do the hard thinking before the first panel goes up.

This is what that looks like on site. These SIP walls are being set and braced on a slab that was planned around them, with the window openings already framed and sealant on hand. Under a sky like this one, it helps when the crew already knows exactly what goes where.

Our approach with higher rates is simple: settle the land questions first, lock in the design before you build, and know your numbers before you commit. It won't change the rate, but it gives you fewer unknowns while you're paying it.
