Only six Mebane listings had a basement on September 30, 2026, and one of those was a commercial building on South Fifth Street. The five homes ranged from a $234,900 townhome to a $711,000 custom build that has not yet started.
The Winding Creek listing says construction will not begin until a buyer is under contract with a construction loan. A construction loan pays the builder in draws as each stage is completed, and some loans convert to a permanent mortgage once the home is complete. Ask your lender how long the rate lock lasts and how many draw inspections are included.
On any resale Mebane basement, I ask the seller about past water problems and whether there is a sump pump or perimeter drain, then have the inspector check the walls and floor for moisture.
