Ball Homes has been one of my favorite Knoxville builders for years. Since 1959, the company has helped buyers build and purchase homes designed for a variety of lifestyles, household sizes, and budgets.
Ball Homes offers an extensive selection of floor plans, communities, homesites, design options, and Quick Move homes throughout the Knoxville area. Buyers can choose between Ball Homes’ traditional floor plans, which generally offer more opportunities for personalization, and the streamlined Trend Collection, designed to provide attractive, functional new homes at a more approachable price point.
Whether you want to build from the ground up, personalize a home already under construction, or purchase a completed Quick Move home, I can help you compare the available options and navigate the entire process.
Ball Homes’ traditional collection includes a wide variety of ranch, first-floor primary, and two-story floor plans. These homes are designed for buyers who want more choices when selecting the size, layout, features, and finishes of their new home.
Depending on the floor plan and stage of construction, buyers may be able to personalize features such as:
Many traditional Ball Homes plans offer flexible living arrangements, including first-floor guest suites, home offices, open-concept living areas, upstairs lofts, bonus rooms, and optional second-story spaces. This collection is often a great fit for buyers who want more room, additional design choices, and the ability to personalize their home.
The Trend Collection offers streamlined floor plans designed around affordability, functionality, and today’s most popular living preferences.
These homes typically provide fewer structural and design selections than traditional Ball Homes plans, allowing the building process to be more efficient while still giving buyers an attractive, thoughtfully designed new home.
The Trend Collection may be a good fit for:
Although Trend homes generally offer a more curated selection of finishes and options, buyers may still have opportunities to personalize certain features depending on the home’s construction stage.
The biggest differences between traditional Ball Homes plans and the Trend Collection are typically the number of floor plans, level of personalization, available structural options, included features, and price point.
Traditional Ball Homes plans generally provide a broader range of layouts and more opportunities for structural and design upgrades. The Trend Collection offers a more streamlined experience with functional plans, curated finishes, and fewer decisions.
Neither option is automatically better—it depends on your budget, timeline, preferred community, and how much you want to personalize your new home. I can help you compare the total cost and included features so you understand exactly what you are receiving with each option.
One of the standout parts of building with Ball Homes is the design process. Depending on the floor plan, community, and construction stage, buyers may have the opportunity to work with a professional designer and select finishes for their new home.
The design process may include selections for:
It is important to purchase early if design selections are a priority. Once construction reaches certain stages, some selections may already be finalized and can no longer be changed.
As your buyer’s agent, I can help you prepare for the design appointment, understand which selections are included, evaluate upgrade costs, and choose finishes with both your personal style and future resale value in mind.
If you do not want to wait for the full building process, Ball Homes also offers Quick Move homes. These properties may already be under construction or completed, allowing buyers to move sooner.
Depending on the construction stage, a Quick Move home may still offer some opportunities for interior selections. Other homes may already have all finishes chosen, making the process simpler for buyers who do not want to make every design decision.
I can help you identify available and upcoming Quick Move homes, compare completion timelines, and determine which properties best match your needs.
Ball Homes places an emphasis on creating comfortable, functional living spaces. Many plans feature nine- or ten-foot ceilings, tray ceilings, open living areas, and flexible rooms that add visual interest and volume without relying entirely on large two-story spaces.
Available features vary by plan but may include luxury kitchens, spacious primary bathrooms, guest suites, bonus rooms, home offices, lofts, covered decks, patios, and additional storage.
Ball Homes provides warranty coverage intended to give new homeowners additional peace of mind. Coverage may include:
Warranty terms, exclusions, service schedules, and transferability should be reviewed carefully before purchasing. I will help you understand the available warranty information and remain a resource if questions arise after closing.
Ball Homes currently advertises an incentive for qualifying buyers who finance their new home through Walden Mortgage. The incentive may provide up to 2% of the loan amount toward eligible closing costs and/or prepaid expenses.
Builder and lender incentives can change and may be subject to specific financing requirements. I can help you review the available offer, ask the right questions, and compare the incentive with other financing options so you can make an informed decision.
The representative at the model home works for the builder. As your buyer’s agent, I work for you.
New construction involves more than choosing a floor plan and finishes. Builder contracts, deposits, completion timelines, inspections, incentives, warranties, and upgrade costs can differ significantly from a traditional resale transaction.
As your buyer’s agent, I can help you:
Having your own representation gives you an experienced advocate throughout the process—from the first community visit through closing and beyond.
Whether you are interested in a customizable traditional Ball Homes plan, an affordable and streamlined Trend Collection home, or a Quick Move property, I would love to help you explore your options.
It is best to involve your buyer’s agent before visiting a model home or contacting the builder. Reach out to me first, and I can gather current information about available communities, pricing, floor plans, incentives, homesites, and construction timelines before we tour together.
