Why buy a speculative home?
- On-trend design and amenities. As builders, we closely follow housing trends so we can offer the features that today’s buyers want.
- Excellent value for money. While you may not get to choose every detail of a spec home, it’s excellent value for money.
- Ready to move in. A house built on spec is usually ready for your family to move into soon after the sale.
- It’s a new build. You are buying a new construction, which avoids the repairs or updating that an existing home might require.
- Walk through. Another key benefit of a spec home is that you can walk through it, judge its size and flow and see if it’s a good fit for your family before buying.
- Simpler financing. Buying a spec home could mean avoiding complex lending structures and progress payments, as most are sold with settlement upon completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
A spec home is a house that is built before it is sold. The builder speculates on what features and finishes will be most appealing to buyers in the current market. This means that you may not be able to customise the home to your exact specifications, but you will be able to choose from a variety of pre-selected options.
There are several benefits to buying a spec home. These include:
- Lower upfront costs. Spec homes are typically priced lower than custom-built homes because the builder is able to take advantage of economies of scale.
- Faster move-in date. Spec homes are usually ready for occupancy within a few months of being built, while custom-built homes can take years to complete.
- Less customisation hassle. You won’t have to make as many decisions about the finishes and features of your home, which can save you time and stress.
While spec homes are typically not as customisable as custom-built homes, we do offer some flexibility in terms of finishes and options. For instance, you may be able to choose from different flooring materials, cabinet styles, or countertops. We will work with you to determine which options are available for the specific spec home you are interested in.
