So a lennar home built in 2005 is still as bad as a home built by lennar in 2024?!

It sounds like the North Fort Worth Justin area is the reason Northwest ISD is the fastest growing school district in Texas. I am moving from Austin back DFW next summer. Austin has gotten too expensive and congested on its interstate roads. I definitely want to be the Northwest ISD area.

It definitely is the fastest growing! I'm not surprised given the beautiful areas and solid home values.

Speaking of local builders, what do you think of Grand Homes?
@justnoob82 8 күн бұрын
Are the brands of the materials like toilet and bath fixtures reflect in the contract or atleast the builder have the approval of all the materials what the subcontractors are installing. Do builder give you the inspection report. e.g foundation, structural, wall before closing, electrical and hvac?
@zakschmidt-DallasTXrealestate 7 күн бұрын
Some builders will share the information and have it in their contract. You wont probably have every single nail type and everything but a general list of the big items is probably availb.e The do not have to give you any reports on any of those things. you can have a third party inspection done that you pay for that you can use for your walk through

Absolute garbage builder!! I agree, design and overall look/ feel is awesome, that what lured us into this nightmare!! Every aspect of our build has major issues and they refuse to repair them. All of our upgrades have issues. They take you money for 'premium upgrades' but leave your house in shambles. I asked if the Pex was type A or type B, and the construction manager replied , "theres two different kinds?!?" That was my clue to get out but I didnt. Upgraded exterior doors are warped and bind--they wont fix them upgraded island set in kitchen crooked--they wont fix it Cabinet box different shade of grey-they wont fix it Cabinet guy let drawer slides fly out and gouge our upgraded wood floors--they wont fix it All interior door jambs bowed--they wont fix it Wood floor peeling up--they wont fix it Unsquared framing--we'll float the walls with 800 lbs of drywall mud--nope, not having it Ac will not cool even in modest Houston weather--they will come out ,but after 9 attempts--still cant figure that one out... we now have a window unit in the master just to sleep comfortably Shower glass leaks-construction manager--"Just caulk it, you can probably do better than my guys." Roof rafters not nailed into ridge beam- I had to nail those in my self this goes on and on... i could list another 30-40 items. Moral of the story -- DO NOT BUY FROM COVENTRY **STAY FAR FAR AWAY**

•I would not want a ceiling so high I that I need an extension ladder to change a light bulb and wash the interior side of a window. I hate needing a ladder to change the smoke detector battery. Do people think about those things when they ask for really high ceilings. When I watch HGTV home Reno shows. For the kitchen. While still in the building process. They pick the counter tops, back splash, cabinets, flooring, type of sink, appliances, lighting, yes or no on a kitchen island, sink fixtures, where the appliances will go, where the cabinets will go, where the kitchen island will go, where the sink will go, where the backsplash will go, how to lay the flooring, where the windows will go, where the lighting will go, where a breakfast nook could go, the seating for the counter, where a table and chairs can go, where the kitchen walls will go, etc. I have noticed on home Reno shows on HGTV u usually don’t see them pick the type of widows they are using in the kitchen. •As a short person of about 5’ 3” who constantly has health and safety on the brain. Plus I hate cleaning. This is how I would want my home to be: No un reachable cabinets, appliances, shelves, etc. Find a way to not have to use a ladder to change the smoke alarm batteries. Find a way to not need a ladder to change the ceiling light bulbs. Have a standing shower. Because I need a stool to get into and out of a tub shower, so I do not fall getting into the tub shower, and trip getting out off the tub shower. Make it so I do not need a stool or ladder to clean the interior and exterior sides of the windows. No rocks around the house, just grass. Rocks are hazard to walk on. I do not want have to trim trees and bushes. I do not want have to remove weeds. No tubs of any kind because I do not want to worry about getting injured or dying while getting in out of a tub, or falling asleep and drowning in a tub. No real wood anything where there is lots of water. Floor drains in the kitchen and bathrooms. No rugs because they are tripping and slipping hazards and a pain to get stains out of. Plus it is a pain to wash rugs. No carpet because cleaning carpet is a pain. Plus keeping carpet clean is a pain. No slippery when wet flooring any where in the house. Lawsuit waiting to happen. No stairs. Everything I want and need on one floor. I do not want to get injured or killed while using stairs. No open flames in the house. Fire hazard waiting to happen especially when living with other people and pets. Plus having guests. No gas stove tops and candles with wicks. No easy to break items besides light bulbs. No drinking glasses that are easy to break. No dishes that are easy to break. U will inevitably leave a candle burning, stove top on, drop plates and glasses, drop light bulbs, drop anything u are holding. Have a sprinkler system. Have fire extinguishers, first aid kits, working flashlights in easy to find locations all over the house. Have emergency lights, have everything in the house labeled, clearly marked entrances and exits. Carbon and smoke detectors all over the house. Having windows to open and close horizontal instead of vertically like a door. For easy escape. Hand railings for the toilet and shower. A shower chair no un movable built in shower bench.

They meet the basic minimum for industry standards. The one thing people don't consider is dr Horton homes will not build good equity as other homes because they are cheap to start with. From my prospective its like buying a mobile home its low quality. When you drive thru the all you will see is sold signs on lots and foundations trying to make you feel like you need to jump on the bandwagon and sign up before they are all gone but its a sales tactic and people fall for it hook line and sinker.

Depends on the neighborhood, how quickly the home can close, current incentives, how long they have held the home, realtor relationships with them. Could be some.

Get your grout sealed after you close. The builders I've dealt with don't seal grout. It turns dark after a few short years. Hire a contractor post closing and get it done before you move into your new home.

Typically 3-4. Most of my clients do 1. Pre-drywall 2. Final completion before builder walk through and closing. 3. One at month 9-11 before your one year of owning the home comes up. And occasionally some will do it at foundation pour

Had a client almost build with them earlier this year. Ended up backing out when they wouldnt honor their contract, wanted to change standard features for the neighborhood, and gave them a massive upcharge for moving a 50ft plan to a larger lot but didnt get any upgraded features. Quality and selection seems okay but that experience just didnt sit right with me personally and since have not done anything else with them this year.
