Do you want an old home or a new one? Built to your specifications or ready to move into? Of all the new home options, inventory homes\u2014also known as move-in ready homes\u2014offer the greatest convenience.

Then you let the home builder take it from there. The end result is a beautiful home built to the buyer&#8217;s specifications. But sometimes, for a variety of reasons, the buyer is forced to back out of the sale during the process. This leaves the builder with a home that is either finished or in a stage of partial construction.<\/p>\n<p>This is where inventory homes come from. When a potential buyer is looking for a new home that he or she can move into quickly, inventory homes offer some\u00a0of the most convenient options.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-2.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen of one of the inventory homes in Austin, Texas\" width=\"820\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-2.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-2-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-2-768x340.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Benefits of inventory homes<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Move-in ready &#8211;<\/strong> Inventory homes are available on a much shorter deadline than custom homes. Some are completely built and others need a\u00a0few finishing touches to make them move-in ready. In short, they are ideal if you need to move on a tight deadline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Options to personalize &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0If an inventory home is finished or almost finished, ask if there are options when it comes to personalization. Many of our communities include inventory homes in a variety of floor plans. Also, you\u2019ll often find that there are a wide range of upgrades and amenities available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Convenient for out-of-state movers &#8211;<\/strong> If you&#8217;re moving from out of state, inventory homes offer a level of convenience that a custom home simply cannot. With an inventory home, you don&#8217;t have to oversee all the details of your new home&#8217;s construction. This leaves you the time to focus on the other important aspects of moving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attractive pricing &#8211; <\/strong>While move-in ready homes are great for the buyer, home builders often have a different perspective. Builders don&#8217;t like having finished or partially finished homes sitting around with no one living in them. Therefore, they are often eager to sell at a reduced price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-4.jpg\" alt=\"Exteriors of move-in ready homes in Austin, Texas\" width=\"820\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-4.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-4-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/inventory-4-768x343.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Finding inventory homes in Austin, Texas<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>From the heart of Austin to the wide-open spaces of the Texas Hill Country, many of the most desirable MileStone communities feature available inventory homes.
