December is the Perfect Time to Start Planning Your Build

While many families are focused on holiday shopping and festivities this month, savvy home buyers know that December is actually one of the best times to begin planning their new home journey. As we approach the new year, the timing couldn’t be better to transform your dream home into reality.

At Napolitano Homes, we’ve seen countless families benefit from starting their planning process during the holiday season. With four distinctive communities in Suffolk—from condo-style townhomes to spacious single-family homes to 55+ first-floor living—we have options to fit every lifestyle and stage of life. Here’s why December might be your perfect starting point for 2025.

Beat the Spring Rush

Spring is traditionally the busiest time in the home building industry, with families eager to break ground when the weather warms up. By starting your planning in December, you’ll be ahead of the curve. You can secure your preferred homesite, lock in pricing, and complete the design personalization process before the spring rush begins.

This head start means you’ll have priority access to our team’s time and attention. Our consultants can work with you to personalize every detail of your home. Whether you’re drawn to the vertical living of Array’s townhomes, the single-family flexibility of The Vistas’ six floor plans, the low-maintenance lifestyle at The Vineyards’ 55+ community, or the generous homesites at our newest community, The Estates at Nansemond River, we have the perfect home waiting for you.

Take Advantage of Year-End Opportunities

December often brings unique advantages for homebuyers. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss potential tax implications with your financial advisor before the new year begins.

Many families also find that their financial picture becomes clearer in December. Year-end bonuses, clearer understanding of annual income, and upcoming tax returns can all factor into your home buying budget. Starting conversations now allows you to make informed decisions about your investment.

Time to Dream and Plan

The holiday season naturally brings families together, making it the perfect time to discuss big decisions like your next home. Gather around the kitchen table with your loved ones and talk about what matters most. Are you empty nesters looking to downsize to first-floor living at The Vineyards at Hallstead Reserve? Growing families needing more space in one of The Vistas’ single-family homes? Young professionals seeking modern townhome living at Array? Or perhaps you’re ready for a more spacious lot at The Estates at Nansemond River?

With 25 combined floor plans across our four communities, you have incredible variety to choose from. From cozy 2-bedroom condos to expansive 5-bedroom family homes, from 2-story townhomes to first-floor living designs, Napolitano Homes offers options that truly reflect your unique lifestyle and needs.

Position Yourself for a Spring or Summer Move-In

One of the biggest advantages of starting your planning process in December is the timeline it creates. By finalizing your plans and breaking ground in early spring, you could be celebrating the holidays in your new Napolitano home by next December. Or, if you’re working within a specific timeframe, starting now gives you the buffer needed to ensure every detail is perfect.

Imagine hosting next year’s holiday gatherings in your brand new home. Picture open-concept entertaining spaces, modern kitchens perfect for holiday cooking, and outdoor areas ideal for welcoming guests. Whether it’s a spacious great room in a single-family home or a beautifully designed townhome perfect for intimate celebrations, starting your journey now makes that vision achievable.

Start Fresh with a New Year’s Resolution That Lasts

We all make New Year’s resolutions, but how many actually stick? Choosing your next home with Napolitano Homes is a resolution that creates lasting impact. It’s not just about four walls and a roof—it’s about creating the foundation for memories, establishing roots in a thriving Suffolk community, and investing in your future, whether that’s your growing family’s needs, your active retirement lifestyle, or your first step onto the homeownership ladder.

December is the month of fresh starts and new beginnings. What better way to honor that spirit than by taking the first steps toward your dream home?
