Navigate Homes

At Navigate Homes, we have a new name, but we're not new to homebuilding. We've been building high-quality homes in the Iowa City area for years. Our personable and knowledgeable team will work one-on-one with you through the building process, helping you bring your dream home to life. Joe is often the first point of contact when it comes to starting the building process with Navigate Homes and he also handles real estate agreements.

The Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association has previously awarded Builders Excellence Trophies to SouthGate Companies in 2012 and 2014 and Navigate Homes in 2017. Members of Home Builders Associations from across the state of Iowa toured various homes as part of the Annual Parade of Homes.

Environmental impact: Green homes produce fewer carbon emissions because of more efficient energy use. Building a green home means you're helping to keep our earth clean and healthy! Save money: Green homes save you money in the long run because energy efficient materials help keep energy costs down.

The first step in the home building process is setting a budget. Consider what you can afford to pay per month towards your mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and utilities. Visit a local bank-such as MidwestOne, Hills Bank, or GreenState Credit Union-to find a trusted home mortgage lender to work with.

Take inspiration from our wide variety of existing floor plans, or work with us to customize your dream home. Navigate Homes is proud to have an extensive selection of floor plans and a full gallery of photos depicting dozens of our beautifully completed homes. With you leading the way, we'll work together to customize one of our existing floor plans, or we can help you create one from scratch.
