Affordable, low-cost house plans are a great way to help keep your home-building budget on track. Building a brand-new home can seem financially out of reach for many homeowners, so finding an affordable plan is an integral part of the process.

Just as purchasing an existing home takes a lot of research, finding an inexpensive house plan that meets all your requirements takes time and research. With careful planning – and our many filtering options – you’ll find a variety of cheaper options available. The cost of building a home adds up, but if you make budget-friendly decisions each step, keeping your finances in check and enjoying your dream home will be easier.

Characteristics of Economical Home Plans

The homes in this category are simpler and ideal for building on a budget. Ranging in size generally from 1300 square feet to 2300 square feet, the houses tend to be smaller than some of our others and work well on a small lot. The plans typically have less-complex foundations and framing, saving money on construction materials and labor costs.

Even though these homes are smaller in square feet, they offer many innovative design elements. Here are a few common features of these homes:

• Basement foundations
• Two to four bedrooms
• Front and rear porches
• Eat-in kitchens
• Often single story, but two-story options are available
• Main floor primary suite
• Open floor plan

Our selection features an impressive array of architectural styles that range from Colonial and Craftsman designs to traditional and modern marvels.

These home designs tend to cost less in the long run due to their size because there’s not as much space to heat and cool. You can narrow your search by square footage, width, or depth, or even peruse our selection of small house plans or tiny homes to embrace your inner minimalist truly.

Choosing a cheap house plan (still high quality) doesn’t mean you have to skimp on luxuries or amenities, as we offer a vast selection of functional and fashionable homes at this lower price range.

Whether it’s your first home, a vacation home, or a multi-family home you’re searching for, our affordable house plans have estimated cost-to-build reports available so you can better understand the entire price of the house. Follow your dreams and budget, and create the ultimate living space for you and your family.
