New home construction with Jamie Lancia

In this episode of the Selling Fort Wayne podcast, hosts Tyler Morningstar and Kerri Morningstar speak with Jamie Lancia, President of Lancia Homes. Jamie talks about the process for constructing a new home from selecting a builder to a floor plan. He describes the differences between a custom and a semi-custom home, and he shares some of the cool features his clients included in their new homes.

 

"We go back two or three years ago, prior to COVID, I mean home offices were going away, and today home offices are key and essential things." - Jamie Lancia [10:33]

 

"That’s the whole trick with new home construction is making sure that you’re comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Because if you’re just looking for the bottom dollar, well, that’s what you’re going to get: the bottom dollar." - Kerri Morningstar [23:36]

 

"But now the realities of Allen County are that there’s not a lot of homes to buy… so there’s lots of buyers, very little sellers." - Tyler Morningstar [00:53]
