Custom Builds
Maravilla is a custom builder — they work with buyers to design and build on specific lots, not a production tract builder. Past projects include homes in the Rancho Del Gallo area and the 88007 ZIP on the west side.
What To Check Before Signing A Maravilla Custom Homes Contract
- Deposit terms — Is it refundable? Under what conditions? Where is it held?
- Base vs. final price — Ask for a typical upgrade package cost. Realistic out-the-door is often 10–25% above base.
- Timeline + delay clause — Who pays for extended rate locks, hotel stays, or storage if the build runs long?
- Preferred lender incentives — What are the exact dollar amounts? Are the rates competitive with outside lenders?
- Change-order pricing — How much are mid-build changes? How late in the process can you still change things?
- Warranty coverage — Structural, mechanical, cosmetic — know the timelines for each.
- Walk-through rights — Pre-drywall, pre-closing, post-closing — insist on all three with your agent present.

What's the process for a Maravilla custom build?
Custom builders work on your timeline and specs — bring your own lot or pick one with them, then design the floor plan together. Expect 12–18 months start-to-finish.
Is a Maravilla home more expensive than production builders?
Custom typically runs higher per square foot than tract builders because you're choosing every detail. Budget 15–30% more for comparable square footage — and more time.
Do I still need my own realtor on a custom build?
Yes. Your agent negotiates the lot purchase, coordinates the contract with the builder, and represents your interests during construction — especially useful on custom where the stakes per decision are higher.
Price ranges: Custom builds — typically $450K–$1M+ depending on size, lot, and finishes. Communities and pricing change frequently — call (575) 520-7604 for the latest inventory and incentives.
