| Customization | Choose floor plan, finishes, upgrades, and sometimes lot | What you see is what you get (with renovation potential) |
| Maintenance | Minimal for first 5–10 years; everything is new | May need roof, HVAC, or cosmetic updates soon after purchase |
| Warranty | Builder warranty (typically 1–10 years) | Usually none unless seller provides home warranty |
| Energy efficiency | Built to current energy codes; high efficiency | Varies; older homes less efficient without upgrades |
| Resale appeal | High; modern features attract buyers | Strong if well-maintained; character appeal |
| HOA costs | Typically $200–$500/mo for amenities | May vary or not exist in older neighborhoods |
| Timeline | Move-in: 3–12 months from purchase | Move-in: 30–60 days typically |
The bottom line: if you value warranty protection, energy efficiency, modern floor plans, and the ability to customize, new construction is the right path. If you value established neighborhoods, mature landscaping, proven character, and a wider range of locations, an existing home may serve you better. Many of my clients tour both before deciding, and I encourage you to do the same.
Upcoming and Future Developments
Tullahoma’s growth trajectory suggests that additional new construction communities will launch in the coming months and years. Here is what is on the horizon based on current development activity:
29-Lot Shovel-Ready Subdivision: A 29-lot subdivision with all entitlement work completed and shovel-ready lots on sewer is nestled between two mature Tullahoma neighborhoods. This project is expected to begin construction soon, adding inventory to the market.
Sagewood Phase 2: With 60 lots in Phase 1 and 38 additional lots planned for Phase 2, Sagewood will continue to be a major source of new construction inventory as the community builds out over the next 2 to 3 years.
The Pines on Country Club expansion: As existing lots sell, additional lots may be developed in this premium lakeside community, though the exclusive nature of the development means growth will be deliberate and limited.
Rural and acreage development: Coffee County is considering zoning changes that could increase minimum lot sizes in agricultural zones from 1 acre to 5 acres. This would push demand toward existing communities and could accelerate development of land that is already zoned residential.
Want to be the first to know about new communities before they launch? I maintain relationships with local developers and builders and often have advance knowledge of upcoming projects. Join my email list and I will notify you the moment a new community is announced.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy new construction?
You are not legally required to have an agent, but it is strongly recommended. The builder’s sales representative works for the builder, not you. Having your own REALTOR® ensures that someone is reviewing the contract, negotiating on your behalf, scheduling independent inspections, and protecting your interests throughout the process. My representation costs you nothing as the builder pays the commission.
What is included in a new construction home in Tullahoma?
Inclusions vary by builder and community, but most Tullahoma new builds include kitchen appliances (refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave), granite or quartz countertops, LVP flooring in main living areas, carpet in bedrooms, 2-car garage, covered front porch, and basic landscaping with sod. Upgrades such as 3-car garages, covered outdoor living spaces, premium flooring, and smart home technology are available at additional cost.
Can I customize a new construction home in Tullahoma?
Yes, but the level of customization depends on the builder and the stage of construction. In communities like Sagewood, buyers selecting a to-be-built home can choose from 12 floor plans and extensive upgrade options. In The Pines on Country Club, buyers work with custom builders for nearly unlimited design flexibility. For homes already under construction, customization is limited to finishes that have not yet been installed (typically paint, countertops, flooring, and fixtures).
Which builder is the best in Tullahoma?
Tullahoma’s most active builder is Ole South, a top-100 national builder and six-time Tennessee Builder of the Year. They offer excellent value with extensive standard features and strong warranty programs. Harney Homes provides a more personalized, boutique experience for buyers who want closer builder collaboration. For luxury custom homes, Daniels Construction and other local custom builders offer the highest level of design flexibility. The best builder for you depends on your budget, priorities, and how hands-on you want to be in the design process.
