Depending on the builder it will be another $35k to $50k for them to finish it. If you hire a contractor(s) to finish it down the road, you’re looking at $20k to $50k depending on how by the book and fancy you want to go. If you’re one of those lucky souls that can finish the basement yourself or you have a family member who can, you will save a substantial amount of money.
When buying a new construction home in Georgia, 99.9% of them come unfinished. One SUPER alternative to an unfinished basement is a REVERSE BASEMENT aka a basement on top. The #1 reason is because a reverse basement comes finished! For the same price of an unfinished basement, buyers can have a fully finished space and it’s pretty impressive.
Things to know:
Not all builders offer reverse basements.
Reverse basements can be added on different floor plans.
Not all cities allow reverse basements because of height restrictions.
If you plan to use your reverse basement for a children’s play room AND you’re noise sensitive, you may want to give it special consideration.
Reverse basements may be called something else in your area.
How to identify a reverse basement – In the video below, the floor plan toured is a Turnberry. If it has a reverse basement, it will be a Turnberry III. Likewise, it would be a Jefferson III or Roosevelt III.
What do you think of the reverse basement? Do you think it’s a good alternative to an unfinished basement? If not, why?
The home toured in this video is the Turnberry in the Independence subdivision in Loganville, Georgia.
