Pick your path to Bishard home ownership

Bishard Homes was founded on the idea of bringing quality craftsmanship and unique design to the Virginia Beach area and now Chesapeake, too. We aim to build homes for every buyer and just about every budget, but we understand that everyone’s path to homeownership is different. That’s why we offer multiple options when it comes to owning one of our homes. To find out which process is right for you, take the following questions—and answers—into consideration. 

Where do you want to live?  

The first and most important question you need to answer when starting the homebuying journey is where you want to live. No matter why you’re feeling compelled to move, it’s important to choose a location that works for your family’s needs and wants. Bishard Homes is proud to offer numerous communities throughout Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, but we also have stand-alone homes in prime locations. 

Already own your dream piece of land, but need a builder who will bring their expertise to you? Build On Your Lot is the perfect option. We’ve brought our most popular floor plans out of our communities and into yours, allowing you to select the home that fits your personal style and integrates seamlessly into your property. We make build-on-your-lot simple and stress-free for everyone involved. 

When do you want to move? 

Once you’ve selected your ideal community or lot, picked a floor plan, signed contracts and been approved, construction typically takes anywhere between 90 and 120 days (but can be affected by many factors that are not always in our control). While we pride ourselves in building high-quality new-construction homes in a reasonable timeframe, we understand that some buyers have time constraints and need to move into their new home quickly. If you’re sold on buying a new-construction home, but don’t have the time to go through the entire process, Bishard Homes always has an inventory of readily available homes and townhomes throughout our communities in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. 

What type of home am I looking for? 

To cater to every homebuyer’s needs and preferences, we offer communities with a variety of home types and styles to achieve your vision. Between our townhomes, single-family floor plans and luxury waterfront homes with distinct regional features and styles, we’ll find the perfect place for your family. 

What is my budget? 

Budgets, much like families, can come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why we strive to build homes for buyers at every age and every stage of their lives, meaning we offer homes suitable for a variety of budgets. From condominium options and smaller single-family homes in the $200s to the Luxury Homes Series starting at $500,000, establishing your budget can help us guide you through the best options for you. For assistance with financing, including calculating just how much home you can afford, Bishard Homes can connect you with Coastal Home Mortgage Company—our preferred lender.
