Congratulations to your son! I'm so glad to have been helpful. We are still very happy with the house. We used a company called California Exodus movers. They were decent. I hope it is a smooth move for him!

Yes, it's Emser Cabin- Yosemite tile. Congratulations on your home!

Hi! I believe the raised ceilings were roughly 5k, and the downstairs floor around 7k. The floor is actually tile, I believe true hardwood would've been more expensive.

Congratulations that is so exciting! The lady who assisted us in our design appointment gave us a ballpark number to stay below in terms of upgrades in order to appraise, and our house did appraise just fine with no gaps/issues. I think as long as you stay below whatever number or percentage your design consultant gives you, you should be okay.

Our house actually appraised just fine, we had no issues!

@@theadeyz Thank you!! Did you go with KB for homeowner's insurance as well?

It took about nine months in total for us, from signing the very first documents to closing.

We actually only had to pay an earnest deposit of a few thousand upon signing up, and the rest was not paid until closing. We did not close until the house was completed. I hope the process goes smoothly for you!

@@theadeyz ok great, we are hoping to put a larger down payment by saving while the house is being built

Yay! I'm so glad you've found the videos helpful. I hope the process goes smoothly for you! It can definitely be a lot at times but it is so worth it in the end.

I’m on the same boat 😅

Hi! So glad you've found the videos helpful! Yes, I will definitely make an update soon!

@@theadeyz awesome, thank you!!

Sure! I want to say the sink was around $500 and the tile was a few thousand, but it was more because we wanted the tile on the whole downstairs area. It could be less depending on how much square footage you'd like!

Thank you, congratulations to you as well! It is such an exciting process! The paint color in our downstairs area is Morning Fog by Sherwin Williams. We love it!

Awesome! Thanks!

Congratulations!! I hope the process goes smoothly for you. We did not have a pre-construction meeting outside of the design meetings.

Thank you so much! Of course! We got it at Gallery Furniture. We love it!

We are about to be homeless because no one can give us the correct closing date, its insane. They keep prolonging. it.

@@mlissasa Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! Have you been able to close yet?

I’m looking at Kb now, what issue did you have?

Thank you, congrats to you as well! We did not qualify.

They did not seem to be strict when we were going through the process, and we got to see copies of all inspection reports prior to closing.

Congratulations!! I hope it all goes smoothly for you. We luckily have not had many issues, however just this week we realized our furnace/heating is not working properly so we actually just placed a call in to KB's warranty service today. They said they opened a service request and we should be getting a call today to schedule someone to come out and fix it. So far so good, but I will update you!

Did they fix it right away? I’m looking to buy in as well. A little nervous due to some reviews online

Thank you so much!! Yes- for our plan it cost around 6k, however that included taller kitchen cabinets and larger ground floor windows as well.

How exciting, congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Thank you!! This is the 2961 plan.

Oh my goodness, they basically asked us for every document of our lives! Definitely get organized before starting the process- I wish I had done that! From driver licenses to W2s to Letters of Explanation describing every place we've ever lived, the documents were a lot. And they continue to ask you for more documents throughout the entire process, which I hadn't known beforehand.

Basically the most recent paystubs.. must have a 2 year employment history.. 2 years W-2’s.. your application must have the 2 year Address.. make sure you clean up the addresses on your credit report. 2 months bank stmts to show your funds to close.. if you provide earnest money, provide the bank stmt to show the funds came from your own account.. if you have recent inquiries, you will need a letter stating if new debt were opened.. So everyone’s situation is different so you may need other documents.

Thank you so much!! The amount required for down payment really does depend on your credit. If you have good credit for most loan types you can put down as little as 3.5%, but if your credit score is lower the minimum down payment is 10% for certain loan types. Interest rate also are affected by credit, we were able to do a 100-day rate lock thanks to having good credit, otherwise it would've continued to increase before closing. So far no issues with the house at all, KB is great in our opinion. Good luck to you and I hope this helps!!

Congratulations! We found out in the last week prior to our scheduled closing date (that didn't actually end up being the closing date) that there were delays, however once we got cleared to close the process went super quickly and we had an appointment scheduled at the title office. Hope everything goes smoothly for you!

@@theadeyz Awesome, thanks so much! Your house looks beautiful, congratulations!

I am also scheduled to close on the 21st but still no actual date of walkthrough. We have received a clear to close but construction is what’s holding everything up

@@robertocerda2004 same! We received clear to close but nothing else so far. Where are you building? We’re in FL

@@nicole786 Im in California. I just got word that we have our walkthrough on the 19th. Wonder how long after would we potentially close

Oh absolutely!! You'll definitely be able to get most everything you want with that amount, in my opinion.

Be careful with these kb home guys, they change your upgrades mid through your construction citing unavailability of products or materials with or without notice. Try to stay keep your upgrades within the limit .

Thank you so much! I hope your home is completed soon!!

Thank you!!

For us it took about ten months.

We are near the Katy/Cinco Ranch area. The building process in total took nine months, due to supply chain shortages. Not bad though and looking back it definitely feels like it went by quickly!

@@theadeyz that is pretty fast ! I’m hoping to have one built as well what did your credit have to look like ? Did you have to be at the same job for a year ? I know that’s what’s needed for LGI homes

@@immonienarcisse3558 Yes, at least if you go through KB's lender they can be pretty strict about the job thing. I'm self-employed but my husband has been at the same job for two years and they needed documentation to back that up. Credit score basically just gets you a better interest rate

You need a verifiable 2 year employment history.

Marvida has KB home the Marvida Trail, Trail South and Preserve. Building with Marvida Trail right now closing next month.

It's from Gallery Furniture! We absolutely love it and the accent pillows are included.

Thank you!

Hi Cintia! I just posted an update. We are in now. Congratulations and I hope your build goes smoothly!

Congratulations! Yes the hardest part for us was definitely not being able to see the house in person as it was being built. I hope your process is going smoothly.
