Are There Any New Construction Homes in Hall County Under 300K?

Is It Still Possible to Build New for Under $300K?

That’s a question I get a lot — and it’s a fair one. With home prices rising across North Georgia and construction costs steadily climbing, many buyers feel like new construction is off the table unless they’re shopping above $350K. But what if your budget is closer to $300K? Is building or buying a brand-new home still even possible? And if so, what do you actually get for that price in today’s Hall County market?

Here’s the truth: while it’s becoming less common, there are still pockets of opportunity — but they don’t last long. Builders aren’t widely advertising their most affordable homes, and the best deals are often tucked just outside the city or in final close-out phases. This post is here to help you cut through the noise. I’ll show you what’s still available under $300K, where to find it, and how to move fast when the right home pops up — all with a no-fluff, realistic look at what to expect.

What New Construction Looks Like Under $300K

In Hall County, most builders have moved their base prices above the $300K mark — especially for single-family homes. That said, here’s what you can sometimes find in the $250K–$300K range:

• Townhomes in growing areas like Oakwood or Flowery Branch

• Builder closeouts on spec homes that didn’t sell during the initial phase

• Smaller single-family homes with minimal upgrades or base-level finishes

• Homes in outlying areas like Lula, Gillsville, or parts of East Hall

These homes usually include 2–3 bedrooms, 1,100–1,600 sq ft, and may not have premium finishes — but they’re new, efficient, and ready for move-in.

📍 Where to Look for New Homes Under $300K

These opportunities aren’t always easy to spot in a general home search, so here are a few areas to keep an eye on:

• Oakwood – Growing fast with new townhome developments

• East Hall / Lula – Some builders still offer budget-friendly specs

• South Hall County – Near Hwy 365 and 985 corridors

• Older new-home communities – Where builders are finishing final phases

It’s also worth checking with builders directly — or working with a local Realtor (like me) who knows when closeouts or price drops happen.

What You Won’t Find Under $300K

Let’s be honest about expectations. You won’t find:

• Custom builds or homes on acreage

• Larger 4-bed homes with high-end finishes

• Gated communities or high HOA developments

• Most Lake Lanier-area homes

Homes in this price range are typically starter homes — clean, simple, and brand new — but not luxury. Still, they’re a fantastic way to own something new without the constant repairs that come with older properties.

How to Find (and Secure) These Deals

These homes move quickly — and they’re not always well-marketed. Here’s what I recommend:

1. Get on a builder interest list — or let me monitor them for you

2. Be ready to tour same-day if something hits the market

3. Use a Realtor who knows how to work with builders — including asking for incentives and making sure you’re protected
