Frequently Asked Questions
What's a "Starting-At" price?
The “starting-at” price is the base cost of a specific home model before any upgrades, lot premiums, or optional features are added. It includes the standard floorplan, our quality construction materials, and the included features that come with every Maronda home. This price is an essential first step in planning your budget and helps you compare our homes to others in the Northern Kentucky market.
Why do "Starting Prices" matter when shopping for new homes?
When comparing builders in Northern Kentucky, looking at the base model starting price helps you:
• Understand the entry-level investment for each floor plan.
• Compare options across different neighborhoods.
• Decide which homes fit your budget and lifestyle needs.
• Get a clear picture before exploring upgrades and customizations.
Is it actually cheaper to build than to buy an existing home in NKY right now?
Surprisingly, the gap has closed significantly. The median price of a resale home in some NKY pockets has actually surpassed new builds. Builders are currently offering aggressive mortgage rate buy-downs and closing cost assistance that individual sellers simply can’t match.
We compare building a home vs. buying in more detail.
How does the "inventory crunch" affect my decision?
NKY is the fastest-growing region in Kentucky. Resale inventory in popular areas like Florence, Union, and Independence remains tight, leading to bidding wars and “as-is” sales. Building new allows you to skip the competition and move into a home that hasn’t been lived in for 30 years.
What are the layout advantages of a new build in Northern Kentucky?
Older homes in NKY often have “choppy” layouts or converted basements. New construction floorplans from Maronda Homes are designed for modern life:
- Dedicated Home Offices: Wired for high-speed fiber, which is now standard in new NKY developments.
- Multi-Generational Living: Many floor plans include “en-suite” main-floor bedrooms for aging parents or guests.
- Drop Zones: “Mudrooms” designed for heavy Midwest winters and school gear.
Will a new home really save me money on utilities?
Yes, significantly. Building codes are stricter than ever. New homes in NKY now frequently hit a HERS Index rating of 65 or lower, making them roughly 35% more efficient than a standard home built just a decade ago. With Kentucky’s humid summers and freezing winters, this can save you $100–$200 per month on HVAC costs.
What about the "hidden costs" of old homes?
When you buy a resale home in Northern Kentucky, you’re often 5–10 years away from a $15,000 roof or a $7,000 HVAC replacement. A new build comes with a builder’s warranty (typically 1 year for cosmetics, 10 years for structural), meaning your “repair budget” for the first decade is effectively zero.
How long does it take to build a new home with Maronda Homes in Northern Kentucky?
It take approximately 6 – 12 months to build your new home in Northern Kentucky with Maronda Homes. Just like pricing and tax rates, build times also vary per region and community. Variables such as the community’s development or homesite status, the permitting process, or even the weather play a role in the construction timeframe. Please note general time frames vary per community and depend on city utilities, permitting, and septic. For any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to an online sales rep.
