Frequently Asked Questions
How does a new build home handle the South Carolina climate differently?
Building codes in South Carolina are much stricter regarding wind and flood resilience. New homes often feature reinforced roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated windows. This doesn’t just provide safety; it can lead to a 15–25% discount on homeowners insurance premiums compared to older resale homes.
Are mortgage rates for new builds actually better than the market average?
Yes. While standard market rates may hover around 6.5%, some South Carolina builders are offering rates as low as 3.99% or 4.99% for qualified buyers who use their preferred lenders.
Will I actually save money on my monthly power bill on a new construction home in South Carolina?
\Significantly. New homes are now built with high-SEER2 HVAC systems and advanced “envelope” sealing. In the humid South Carolina summer, a new construction home typically costs 20-30% less to cool than a home built even ten years ago.
What happens if something breaks right after I move in?
\You’re covered. Most SC builders provide a 1-2-10 warranty: 1 year for workmanship, 2 years for mechanical systems (plumbing/HVAC), and 10 years for the structure. In a resale home, a failed HVAC unit three months after closing is a $10,000 headache; in a new build, it’s a phone call to the Maronda Homes warranty team.
Is the South Carolina "tax friendly" reputation true for new builds?
Yes. South Carolina has moved toward a 3.99% flat income tax, and property taxes for primary residents remain among the lowest in the nation at a 4% assessment ratio.
Can I customize a Maronda Home to fit a "remote work" lifestyle?
This is the primary advantage of building. Floor plans are specifically designed with “Zoom rooms,” dual offices, and EV-charging-ready garages—features that are difficult and expensive to retrofit into older homes in established neighborhoods.
How long does it take to build a new home with Maronda Homes in South Carolina?
It takes approximately 6 – 12 months to build your new home in South Carolina with Maronda Homes. Disclaimer: Build times are subject to change at any time for any reason. Build times and completion dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
