Walking a home site in Tucson
The most important part of walking your future homesite is visualizing where and how your home will be built. This is a difficult task if you do not have the right information. Before you start seriously evaluation a parcel, make sure you know where your 'building envelop' will be located. While many developments have this clearly marked for you (usually with a white pole representing the center of the building envelope), many more remote lots take more research. Researching where the lots 'setbacks' are located will give you a better idea of how your home will be situated.
When you are evaluating your future lot in Tucson, be sure to know exactly where your property lines are located. Property lines are usually connected by 'pins' located at the property corners. These pins are typically made of metal but they also may be very difficult to find. If you are not sure where the lot's property lines are, have a real estate professional or a surveyor find them for you before you get too serious about the parcel.
Once you know where your property limits are you can get a better idea about the value of the land. stand in the building envelope and visualize where you could position views. Are there obstructions? Are there privacy issues? How close is the building envelope to the road? Could there be issues with noise control?
Finally, make sure the lot is 'buildable' within your budget's constraints. Visit our page on evaluating a lot in Tucson for a future custom home to learn more about potential building expenses associated with your land.
