St. Louis new construction, explained
Become smarter before you buy.
HomeBuildSTL is a free library for anyone thinking about a new home in the St. Louis area: the communities, the builders and how building works, explained before you talk to anyone who’s selling.
How HomeBuildSTL helps
Compare communities side by side
Builders, collections, base prices and school districts in one place, so you can narrow the list before you drive out.
Know what’s included
What comes standard, what’s an upgrade and what a homesite premium adds, builder by builder.
Know how paying for a build works
Deposits, rate locks, the builder’s lender and the appraisal, in plain English. Read Financing
Know what to ask at the model
And why many builders want your agent registered at your very first visit.

Base prices are each builder’s starting price for a plan, before homesite premium, options and upgrades, as of September 28, 2026. Builder prices, plans, features and incentives change often; confirm with the builder.
Before you visit a model: many builders require your agent to be with you, or to register you, on your very first visit. Skip that step and you may not be able to bring an agent in later. If you want your own representation, set it up before you go. Talk to Nick
