One of the biggest roadblocks people face when starting a custom home? They think they can’t find the right lot. But in our experience, the perfect lot for your dream home might already be available — it just takes the right approach to find it.
Here’s what most buyers get wrong about lot selection — and how we help clients uncover incredible build opportunities that others miss.
💡 You Don’t Need to Wait for a For Sale Sign
The best lots often aren’t listed publicly. They’re quietly owned by individuals, developers, or families who haven’t formally put them on the market — but would sell under the right conditions.
We regularly connect our clients with these types of lots by leveraging:
- Private landowner relationships
- Off-market developer parcels
- Future-phase lots in under-construction neighborhoods
- Back-channel conversations with agents who know what’s coming
If you’re only checking Zillow, you’re missing 90% of what’s out there.
📐 What Makes a Lot “Buildable” Can Be Misleading
Just because a lot is large doesn’t mean you can build your dream home on it. Every parcel has quirks — from setback lines to easements to drainage requirements — that affect what’s possible.
We’ve walked dozens of lots with clients who thought it would work… until we explained the hidden costs or design constraints. On the flip side, we’ve helped buyers transform overlooked or oddly shaped parcels into stunning homes by designing around the challenges.
🔍 Where We’re Seeing Opportunity Right Now
If you’re looking to build in Central Indiana — especially Fishers, Carmel, Westfield, or Zionsville — there are some great under-the-radar lots available:
- Private wooded parcels tucked inside established neighborhoods
- Walkout basement lots with protected views
- Premium corner lots with deeper yards
- Lots suitable for modern, wide-footprint floor plans
These don’t stay available long — and most aren’t on the MLS.
