    Great video. It's also worth noting that unhappy customers, sadly, are more likely to leave a negative review than happy customers leaving a positive review. People want to be heard when they are angry and dissatisfied. This obviously skews the ratings significantly, and the problem is compounded when a builder is doing 50,000 homes vs 50 homes.

    LOVE THIS! So helpful especially for first time home buyers. I just closed on a Chesmar Home (I initially looked at a Centex home but saw so many issues on a finished home that I decided to spend a little more for a better builder). It's a new construction home and the appraisal came in higher than I am paying so I am a happy first time home buyer! Also, people who have negative experiences are more likely to leave reviews so important to do thorough research and talk to the Construction Manager.

    • @livinginhouston
      @livinginhouston  Před rokem +1

      I agree! It is very hard to say if any builder is good or bad because each community has different construction teams. Hopefully you are happy with your Chesmar home!

    • @livinginhouston
      @livinginhouston  Před 3 měsíci

      I would say Ashton Woods is more mid-tier. You will not get the full design experience with Ashton Woods. But you still get some customizations and overall a good value compared to the other three. (also depends on which community)

  • @Carlos-Saldana
    @Carlos-Saldana Před rokem +1

    I’m currently under contract with Meritage in Iowa Colony. The builder is great and tries his best as far as customer satisfaction. Always important to have a third party inspection to point out repairs that the builder might have not noticed (he is very willing to do the repairs), I will say that the sales rep is kind of a pain!

    • @glorianwafor798
      @glorianwafor798 Před 17 dny

      I’m about to be under contract with a Meritage home. The sales rep is the same, doing a lot of fear mongering pushy and trying to rush me. How did you feel about your contract? They have clause in there where they’re allowed to keep your earnest money. Didn’t sit right with me.

  • @JM-gy1ev
    @JM-gy1ev Před rokem +2

    I would put gehan homes with coventry in the same category. In my neighborhood, gehan homes are more popular with lots of customization. Gehan has the basic homes and then the more luxury homes, so maybe it is the difference in which ones you get. highland homes are the more expensive, then gehan, and then coventry. But they literally all have similar plans, and even the inside of the homes are extremely similar. Maybe because this is a master planned community but the quality seems to be idenitcal in these homes and I have a suspicion they use the same builders and craftman. FRom the outside, it looks like the same person built all of the homes. And there have been no m=big complaints in this small master planned community.

      @livinginhouston  Před rokem +2

      Every community and construction team is different! If you have had a good experience this far, it will probably be okay. If you still have time you can also do a third party inspection for extra assurance. Congratulations on your new home!

      I'm closing with Lennar Village Builders this week, and this makes me nervous. Is it normal to do the final walk and close right after.@@livinginhouston

    • @livinginhouston
      @livinginhouston  Před 10 měsíci

      @britneyjenaye the walkthrough is usually done about 7-10 days before closing so that the builder has time to repair what was found on the inspection report and all the imperfections found during the blue tape walk. If you are doing the walk on closing day and something is found that will need to be fixed after you close..make sure it's in writing. 🙂

    • @livinginhouston
      @livinginhouston  Před rokem +3

      DR Horton tends to be an entry level builder especially the express product line. since Covid they do the bare minimums for upgrades in the house. I have had buyers and buyers family members who have not had the greatest experience with them. Each city/community/construction team and material used is different though, so I'd do research on the DR Horton community you are specifically interested in before drawing conclusions. I would also get a third party inspection prior to closing to look for major defects.
