Move-In Ready Homes in Prime North Carolina Locations from Caruso Homes

Closing day is coming fast. You need a home, not a project. Move-in ready homes give you a fresh, never-lived-in space that’s already built or nearly finished. No permits to wait on. No major design decisions. Just a smooth path to your next chapter!

Team Caruso is happy to help you land the right home, right on time. Here’s what makes move-in ready homes the perfect fit for today’s buyers and where we’re building right now.

Why Move-In Ready Homes Make Life Easier

When life’s on a deadline, waiting for a new build can feel like forever. In 2023, the average construction time for new single-family homes was 8.9 months. And if you’re building a fully custom home yourself, that jumps to over 15 months! That’s a long time to be in limbo if you’ve already sold your home, accepted a new job, or want to settle in before the next school year starts.

Move-in ready homes help you skip the waiting game. These homes are already underway or nearly finished, so that you can close and move in much faster, sometimes in just weeks. There’s no waiting for permits, and no construction delays to worry about.

They also take the pressure off your plate. Major design choices have already been made, so you don’t have to spend weeks choosing elevations, layouts, flooring, fixtures, and other finishes. It’s just one (or several) less things to stress over when life’s already full.

Many builders also offer special incentives or pricing flexibility on move-in ready homes, which can make your budget go further.

So, you still get the quality and comfort of new construction, just without the long timeline or overwhelming to-do list. It’s a smarter, smoother way to buy a new home.

Hot Market: Raleigh-Durham Area

The Raleigh-Durham area continues to grow, thanks to its strong schools, high quality of life, and a booming tech economy. Raleigh ranks No. 2 in tech job growth and No. 1 in STEM jobs over the past decade, making it one of the most attractive destinations for working professionals and their families.

New homes in Raleigh, NC, are available in several standout Caruso communities:

Magnolia Acres

At Magnolia Acres in Fuquay-Varina, wooded homesites and flexible floor plans give you room to grow. Many homes feature in-law suites on the main level, making them ideal for multi-generational living or accommodating long-term guests. With new homes already under construction, you could move in at Magnolia Acres before the end of the year.

Parc Townes at Wendell

Parc Townes at Wendell offers spacious three-story townhomes with private decks and golf course views, perfect for buyers seeking low-maintenance living with upscale touches. Best of all, many of these luxury townhomes are already complete so you can move in a matter of weeks.

Brant Station

Our most popular community in Raleigh, Brant Station in Garner, features 3-car garages and homesites up to 10 acres, making it an excellent fit for those looking for privacy, space, and easy access to Raleigh’s top employers. If you want to get into Brant Station, you better hurry! With only three homes remaining that are nearly finished construction, this community will be sold out before you can say move-in ready!

Saul’s Landing

Saul’s Landing in Raleigh blends suburban peace with city convenience. These homes offer a variety of floor plans in a relaxed setting close to local parks, shopping, and top-rated schools. Your dream home may already be under construction at this new community with two homes available to move in before the new year.

Some homes in these communities are available now, while others will be ready by the end of 2025, giving you the option to move quickly or possibly personalize the final details.

Charlotte Area: Growth and Opportunity

People aren’t just moving to Charlotte, they’re betting their future on it. With more than 15,000 new residents in a single year, demand is climbing fast. That’s because Charlotte gives you what most cities can’t: top-tier schools, career opportunities, and lake life all in one place.

New homes in Charlotte, NC, are underway now in two desirable, family-friendly locations:

Rolling Meadows

Rolling Meadows puts you just a mile from the Lake Norman boat ramp with no HOA to worry about. That makes for the perfect blend of freedom and convenience! And, with two homes that are completely finished, you can move right into your dream home in a dream location.

Lancaster Hwy

Lancaster Hwy in Waxhaw offers modern open-concept floor plans, large yards, lower property taxes and easy access to some of the area’s best-rated public schools. This area blends the best of small-town charm with close proximity to Charlotte, perfect for a growing family looking to move this fall.
