Sure, the plan was to build a home from scratch before the start of the next school year.

Oops.

No worries though - builders have spec homes that are nearing completion, and we are here to help you find them.

Bonus - many school districts will allow enrollment with a signed purchase agreement, so even if you aren't moved in by September 1st, you can still start the school year in your new district. Yay!

So check out some of our top picks from across Metro Detroit, and let's connect to see if we can help you find what you're looking for.
