Building with Price Homes means working with an established Minnesota custom and semi-custom home builder that lets you start from 20+ professionally designed floor plans across three series — Advantage, Classic, and Signature — then personalize the home around how you actually live. They build on your lot or theirs, in communities and on private lots across the Twin Cities metro, Alexandria, the Brainerd Lakes Area, and Rochester, and they market a track record of 500+ satisfied customers. Katie Duerfeldt represents buyers building with Price Homes. Her job is to sit on your side of the table — helping you choose the right floor plan, series, and lot, reading the build agreement, and keeping the process transparent from first conversation through move-in. Working with Katie costs you nothing extra and gives you independent advocacy alongside the builder's team.
Price Homes (also styled Price Custom Homes) is a Minnesota new-construction builder headquartered at 550 Freeport Ave in Elk River. They describe themselves as "an experienced Minnesota custom home builder specializing in new construction homes, personalized home design, and flexible floor plans built for your lifestyle," under the line "Minnesota Custom Home Builder Creating Homes Designed Around You." Their marketing highlights a track record of 500+ satisfied customers, with homeowner testimonials going back several years.
Price Homes is best understood as semi-custom, or custom-flex: you start from a library of 20+ professionally designed floor plans organized into three series — Advantage, Classic, and Signature — and then personalize finishes, options, and layout from there. That structure gives you the cost predictability and proven layouts of a production builder with meaningful room to customize. They offer three paths to a finished home:
Their design language is "Homes Designed for Real-Life Functionality," with particular emphasis on custom kitchen design. To decide which path fits your situation, see who new construction is right for in Minnesota.
Price Homes builds "in established communities, on private lots, and in growing areas throughout Alexandria, the Brainerd Lakes Area, Rochester, and the Twin Cities Metro." Named metro towns include Big Lake, Ham Lake, and Elk River. For the specific developments Katie is actively working in, see new construction communities near the Twin Cities.
The differentiators Price Homes markets are consistent with what matters most in new construction: local building expertise and market knowledge; a transparent, streamlined building process; quality materials and trusted trade partners; flexible personalization within a proven plan library; onsite supervisors for quality control and progress updates; and homeowner support that "continues beyond move-in day." Their stat block — 500+ customers, 20+ floor plans, 100+ home sites, and homes currently available for sale — is the shorthand for a builder with real volume and inventory rather than a one-off operation.
Katie Duerfeldt represents you, the buyer, in a Price Homes build. A builder's sales team works for the builder; Katie works for you. Her role covers helping you match a floor plan and series (Advantage, Classic, or Signature) to your budget and how you live, evaluating whether to build on your own lot or one of theirs, reviewing the build agreement and timeline before you sign, coordinating decisions through construction, and keeping the whole thing transparent and genuinely enjoyable — her words for it are "let's keep it real." Having independent representation typically costs the buyer nothing on a new build, because the builder accounts for agent compensation. If you're weighing whether new construction is even the right move, start with who new construction is right for in Minnesota, then look at the communities available near the Twin Cities.
FAQ
Price Homes (also styled Price Custom Homes) is a Minnesota new-construction builder headquartered at 550 Freeport Ave in Elk River. They build custom and semi-custom new homes and market a track record of 500+ satisfied customers. Their positioning line is "Minnesota Custom Home Builder Creating Homes Designed Around You," with an emphasis on flexible floor plans, personalized design, and real-life functionality.
Price Homes is best described as semi-custom, or custom-flex. You start from 20+ professionally designed floor plans organized into three series — Advantage, Classic, and Signature — and then personalize finishes, options, and layout. That gives you the cost predictability and proven layouts of a production approach with meaningful room to customize, rather than a fully blank-sheet custom build or a take-it-as-is production home.
Advantage, Classic, and Signature are the three plan series Price Homes organizes its 20+ floor plans into. Each series represents a different tier of plan, size, and finish level, so you choose the series that fits your budget and how you live, then personalize from there. Katie can help you match a series and floor plan to your goals before you commit.
Yes. Price Homes offers build-on-your-lot, so if you already own land they can build one of their floor plans — or a personalized version of it — on it. They also build on available home sites in their own communities, and offer move-in-ready spec homes for buyers who want a faster timeline. Which path fits depends on whether you own land, your timeline, and how much you want to customize.
Price Homes builds in established communities, on private lots, and in growing areas throughout Alexandria, the Brainerd Lakes Area, Rochester, and the Twin Cities Metro. Named metro towns include Big Lake, Ham Lake, and Elk River. For the specific developments Katie is actively working in near the Twin Cities, see her communities page.
Price Homes markets local building expertise and market knowledge, a transparent and streamlined building process, quality materials and trusted trade partners, flexible personalization within a proven plan library, onsite supervisors for quality control and progress updates, and homeowner support that continues beyond move-in day. Their stat block — 500+ customers, 20+ floor plans, 100+ home sites, and homes currently for sale — reflects a builder with real volume and inventory.
Katie is part of the Price Homes sales team, and on most buyer-side transactions she represents the buyer through dual agency — the lead sales rep represents the builder, and Katie represents you. That means you get a dedicated advocate walking you through floor plan and lot selection, the build agreement, selections, and the construction timeline, while still working inside the Price Homes process. Buyer representation typically costs you nothing extra on a new build.
Typically no. On a new build, the builder accounts for buyer-agent compensation, so having Katie represent you usually costs you nothing extra while giving you independent advocacy through floor-plan selection, lot choice, contract review, and the construction timeline. The best practice is to bring Katie in before you sign anything or register at the builder.
Start with a conversation with Katie before you register with the builder or sign a build agreement. She'll help you decide whether to build on your own lot or one of Price Homes' sites, match a series and floor plan to your budget, and walk the build process with you.
