Ball Homes has been one of my favorite Knoxville builders for years. Since 1959, the company has helped buyers find homes designed for a variety of lifestyles, household sizes, and budgets.
With traditional floor plans, the Trend Collection, and Quick Move homes, Ball Homes gives buyers several ways to approach new construction. You may want to select a homesite and personalize a new build, purchase a home already under construction, or find a completed home that fits your timeline.
As a lifelong Farragut resident and Knoxville real estate agent, I help buyers compare locations, layouts, included features, and overall costs so they can choose a home with confidence.
Contact Karli Pritchard Realtors® to request current Ball Homes listings, homesite availability, floor plans, and pricing.
Your new construction search should begin with two questions: When do you want to move, and how much do you want to personalize?
Buying earlier in the process may give you more opportunities to choose approved options and finishes. A Quick Move home may offer a shorter path to moving in, with some or all selections already completed.
I can help you confirm:
Reach out for a current availability update or to schedule a tour.
Ball Homes offers options in Knoxville and the surrounding area. Communities to explore include the following; remaining inventory and building opportunities should be confirmed before planning your purchase.
The Reserve at Hickory Creek offers traditional Ball Homes floor plans in Hardin Valley, with access to Oak Ridge and the Turkey Creek shopping area. Community amenities include a swimming pool and pavilion.
This is a community to consider if you want to explore a broader selection of floor plans and available personalization options.
Hickory View offers the Ball Homes Trend Collection in Hardin Valley, near Oak Ridge and Turkey Creek.
Its plans emphasize open living areas and flexible spaces, with finishes selected around value and contemporary design.
Hickory Meadows is another Trend Collection option in the Hardin Valley area. The community is near Oak Ridge, Turkey Creek, and Mayor Bob Leonard Park.
Buyers can compare the available homes and layouts here with other nearby Ball Homes communities to find the best combination of location, features, and price.
Emory Green is another community to ask about when exploring Ball Homes’ local Trend Collection opportunities. I can help you confirm remaining inventory, available plans, and current purchase options.
For buyers considering the Maryville area, Clover Meadow provides another location to explore the Trend Collection.
We can compare its available homes with Knoxville options based on your commute, preferred location, budget, and move-in timeline.
Ball Homes also offers Emory Green Townhomes in the Karns area. These three-bedroom, two-story homes include a one-car garage and are offered as Quick Move homes.
The community’s professionally managed HOA provides exterior and grounds maintenance. Buyers should review the current dues, coverage, and governing documents to understand their responsibilities.
Both collections offer new construction, but they approach floor plans, selections, and pricing differently.
Traditional Ball Homes plans generally offer a broader range of layouts and personalization opportunities. The Trend Collection provides a more streamlined selection process focused on functional spaces and attainable pricing.
Consideration | Traditional Ball Homes | Trend Collection |
|---|---|---|
Floor plans | Broad selection of ranch, first-floor primary, and two-story layouts | Curated collection of functional layouts |
Personalization | Generally more plan and finish options | Generally fewer, more streamlined choices |
Structural options | More extensive options depending on the plan and homesite | Selected options depending on the plan |
Design process | More decisions and opportunities to personalize | A simpler process with a more focused range of choices |
Budget | Greater potential for added costs through options and upgrades | Designed around a more approachable price point |
Best fit | Buyers seeking particular layouts or more personalization | Buyers seeking practical layouts and fewer selection decisions |
The best choice depends on your needs. We can compare the actual specifications and total price of the homes you are considering rather than relying on the collection name alone.
Traditional Ball Homes plans offer a variety of living arrangements, including main-level primary suites, guest bedrooms, flex rooms, offices, lofts, and bonus spaces.
Depending on the plan and homesite, approved options may include additional bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, covered outdoor living areas, built-ins, and garage changes. Availability varies by community and construction stage.
When comparing plans, I encourage buyers to think beyond square footage:
These details often make a bigger difference in daily living than the overall size of the house.
The Trend Collection focuses on functional layouts, flexible spaces, and a more streamlined approach to new construction.
It may appeal to buyers who want an approachable price point, a simpler selection process, or a home with fewer customization decisions.
A streamlined collection does not mean every home has the same layout. For example, published Trend plans include the Granite Coast ranch, the Oak Bluff with a first-floor primary suite, and the two-story Sycamore Bend, which offers configurations with up to five bedrooms. Confirm where each plan is currently offered and which options are available.
If you purchase early enough and your home is eligible for selections, the design process gives you an opportunity to personalize approved features.
Ball Homes has a Knoxville Design Center, with previews available by appointment. Your selection opportunities depend on the collection, floor plan, and construction stage.
Depending on your home, selections may include:
Before your appointment, it helps to establish an upgrade budget and identify your priorities. I can help you think through which choices will improve everyday living, which are mainly decorative, and which might be easier to change after moving in.
Ask what is included, how upgrades are priced, when decisions become final, and whether any selections require additional deposits.
Quick Move homes are homes already under construction or completed. They can be a good option if you want to move sooner or prefer seeing a home’s layout and finishes before purchasing.
Some homes may still have selections available. Others may have all finishes finalized.
When comparing Quick Move homes, we can review:
“Quick Move” does not necessarily mean immediately available. Confirm the expected completion and closing timeline for the specific home.
The same floor plan can feel different depending on its lot.
Before choosing a homesite, consider the driveway slope, usable backyard space, sunlight, neighboring homes, and nearby roads or community amenities.
We can also ask about easements, drainage, permitted outdoor improvements, and any additional costs associated with the lot.
If a fence, pool, expanded patio, or particular garage configuration is important to you, discuss it before committing to the homesite.
A base price is a starting point. Your final price may also reflect the homesite, selected options, upgrades, and other purchase costs.
Before signing, review:
I can help you organize these questions so you have a clearer picture of the purchase before making decisions.
You can explore financing with your own lender and compare it with the builder’s affiliated lender.
Ball Homes currently advertises a contribution of up to 2% of the loan amount toward closing costs and/or prepaid expenses when financing a new Ball home through Walden Mortgage. Confirm the offer’s current eligibility requirements and terms for your purchase.
An incentive should be evaluated alongside the interest rate, APR, lender fees, and complete loan terms. I can help you gather the information needed to compare offers with your lender.
We start with your budget, timeline, preferred location, and must-have features, then compare new builds and Quick Move opportunities.
Work with your lender to establish your budget and understand how upgrades, deposits, and closing costs fit into the purchase.
Review the purchase terms, included specifications, deadlines, deposit requirements, and completion provisions. Questions should be addressed before signing, with legal guidance obtained when needed.
If your home is eligible for personalization, complete selections through the approved process and keep written records of choices and costs.
Confirm which meetings and orientations apply to your home. Ball Homes’ published traditional Knoxville community information describes a homesite review, pre-drywall orientation, and new-home orientation.
Confirm the inspection procedures and access requirements. Prepare a clear list of questions and document items identified during the final walkthrough.
Retain your warranty information, service contacts, and reporting instructions so you know how to request assistance after moving in.
Ball Homes publishes a warranty program that includes:
Coverage is subject to the written warranty’s definitions, exclusions, and requirements. These warranties do not mean that every component is covered for ten years.
Before closing, review how concerns should be reported, which deadlines apply, and which products may have separate manufacturer warranties. I can remain a resource as you navigate the reporting process.
The builder’s representative represents the builder. As your buyer’s agent, I help you evaluate the purchase based on your goals.
I can help you:
Contact me before visiting a model home or contacting the builder so we can discuss representation and any applicable registration requirements.
Yes, depending on the collection, approved options, and construction stage. Buying earlier may give you more selection opportunities. Traditional plans generally offer more personalization than the Trend Collection.
Approved plan options may be available, but changes depend on the plan, homesite, and construction stage. Confirm permitted changes and their costs before signing or finalizing your plans.
Yes. Ball Homes offers ranch and first-floor primary layouts, along with two-story plans. Availability varies by community.
Included features vary by collection, community, plan, and specific home. Review the applicable feature sheet and written specifications before comparing prices.
Completed Quick Move homes may be available. I can help you identify current inventory and confirm which homes are ready for closing.
Request an estimate for the particular home. Timing depends on its construction stage, selections, materials, weather, and other factors addressed in the purchase agreement.
Yes, you can explore financing with your own lender. Ball Homes also advertises an incentive through Walden Mortgage. Compare the full loan terms and costs before choosing.
That depends on your financing and whether the builder accepts the proposed contingency. We can discuss your timeline and confirm current requirements before making an offer.
Yes, you can have your own independent home inspection before closing. While the home undergoes required code inspections during construction, an independent inspection provides a more detailed review of the home’s condition and systems, offering additional peace of mind.
You will also have a punch-list walkthrough with the builder’s representative to identify items needing attention. We will document those items and confirm which corrections the builder will complete before closing.
Ball Homes publishes one-year workmanship and materials coverage, two-year systems coverage, and ten-year structural coverage, subject to the written warranty’s terms.
These questions must be checked against the community restrictions and property-specific conditions. If an outdoor project or rental use is part of your plan, review it before purchasing.
School assignments should be verified for the specific property address. A Knoxville or Maryville mailing address alone does not establish the assigned schools.
Whether you are interested in a traditional Ball Homes plan, a Trend Collection home, or a Quick Move property, I would love to help you compare your options.
With lifelong Farragut roots and local market knowledge, I can help you evaluate the location, layout, selections, and purchase details that matter most to you.
