Bonus room on the David Weekley home is fantastic!!! Excellent home setup

[@houstontexasliving33]

David Weekly Homes are known for their thoughtful designs and maximizing space! That bonus room setup is definitely a standout feature-perfect for a game room, home theater, or even a cozy retreat. Glad you enjoyed it! 😊 Are you considering a similar layout for your future home? Let me know how I can help!

[@nicolewhite7]

If we can get a house like that in Memphis,TN. Love the one that got the guest house over the garage.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Guest houses over garages add a unique touch and versatility to a home. If you're looking for such homes in Texas or Tennessee, it’s a great option for extended family or rental income. Let me know if you’d like help exploring more options!

I loved the 2nd Chesmar home the 50ft one

[@houstontexasliving33]

That Chesmar home is a popular choice! It has a great balance of space and design. Let me know if you'd like more details or similar options!

Jackson says he loves Texas … but Oregon and Idaho are both spectacularly scenic! So i don’t believe him 😜

[@houstontexasliving33]

Haha, it sounds like Jackson might be a bit biased toward Texas! While Texas definitely has its own charm with vast landscapes, southern hospitality, and amazing food, Oregon and Idaho are both stunning in their own right, especially for anyone who loves nature and outdoor adventures. From Oregon’s lush forests and coastline to Idaho’s majestic mountains and crystal-clear lakes, it's tough to argue against their beauty. Maybe Jackson just hasn’t explored enough of those states yet! 😜 Have you ever thought about living in one of those places, or is Texas still the top contender for you?

[@Royaldane375]

Would love to have a little map icon showing where in the city exactly that particular home is. Sorta like HGTV on House Hunters. Just a suggestion of course.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thanks for the feedback! That's a good idea. I'll keep it in mind for future videos. 😊

[@shanewilfon6860]

U can see were they cut corners but beautiful homes love rear garages

[@houstontexasliving33]

Rear garages definitely add a unique aesthetic and functionality to a home, giving the front a cleaner and more polished curb appeal. However, it's true that in some cases, the design may reveal areas where corners have been cut. These can include thinner materials, simplified finishes, or less detail in the craftsmanship. If you're considering homes with rear garages, it's worth paying close attention to things like: Driveway Quality - Ensure it’s wide and durable enough for regular use. Garage Space - Some rear-entry garages can feel cramped compared to traditional front-entry setups. Materials and Finishes - Look for quality in cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures. Curb Appeal vs. Durability - Sometimes a home can look great but lack resilience over time. Would you like a list of builders known for high-quality rear garage designs, or do you have any specific concerns you'd like help with?

I ❤ the 6th of the 8 houses. But except have to have the bath tub.

[@Masatao1]

Love your videos. Can you also add the HOA fees since you show highlights of the community. Also, info on the community areas in a flood zone.

[@Masatao1]

​@SK-lf1cr Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion! Including HOA fees and flood zone details would provide more comprehensive insights. I'll make sure to pass along this feedback for future videos. Let me know if you have other ideas!

Adore #6 + 8.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Sounds like you’ve got a great eye for homes with unique touches! What stood out to you about #6 and #8? Was it the layout, finishes, or maybe the community they were in? Would love to hear what caught your attention! 🏡✨

[@calimolife]

Beautiful homes thank you for showing these lovely affordable homes. I especially love the Highland farmhouse one story style. Can you please tell me the name of the floor plan ? Thank you so much.

[@houstontexasliving33]

The Highland Farmhouse one-story style is indeed stunning! I don't have the specific floor plan name on hand, but if it was showcased in one of the videos, you can usually find the floor plan details in the description or by reaching out directly to the builder. Alternatively, if you remember the community where it was featured, I can help narrow it down further. Let me know! 😊

[@Ea-n7x]

I loved the house with the loft. However, that is all the way in BFE. I currently live in cypress and looking to make a move, but on the west north west side.

[@houstontexasliving33]

That's great! If you're looking for something closer to the west-northwest side, there are some fantastic communities worth exploring. Let me know what specific features you're looking for, and I can suggest areas or homes to check out!

[@raulmiglietti16]

We are planning our first trip to go see homes, do any of the builders do a smooth finish on walls and ceilings? We have watched most of your videos and they all seem to be textured.

[@raulmiglietti16]

Thank you.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Most builders in Texas tend to use textured finishes, as they are common and often more cost-effective. However, some custom or semi-custom builders may offer smooth finishes as an upgrade. It's worth discussing this with the builders you visit during your trip. Let me know if you'd like recommendations for builders who might accommodate this preference!

[@jbaby2422]

How much was the David Weekly home with the apartment upstairs from the garage? And what was the name of it?

[@Ea-n7x]

Yeah, but that is the base price. I'm sure the $437 does not include the loft. That's what I don't like about these guys. Tells us the price of home as it is shown. Then tell us the base price and tell us what is included and what is an upgrade.

[@houstontexasliving33]

David Weekley Homes offers several designs with an optional apartment or casita above the garage, often referred to as a "garage suite." The specific price and name of the floor plan depend on the community and current market conditions. If you're referring to a specific home shown in a video, the best way to find out the details is to revisit the video or contact the builder directly for the floor plan and pricing. These types of setups are popular in areas with flexible zoning or master-planned communities. Would you like help identifying similar homes in your area of interest?

If this neighborhood is considered in “Houston”, Houston gotta be the biggest city in the world! 😂

[@houstontexasliving33]

Haha, you're not wrong-Houston is massive! It's not only the fourth-largest city in the U.S. by population but also spans a whopping 665 square miles. To put it in perspective, you could fit several major cities like Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston inside it with room to spare! 😄 The Greater Houston area includes suburbs and neighborhoods well outside the city proper, so it's common to see developments labeled as "Houston" even if they're 30-40 miles from downtown. It's a Texas thing-everything's big here! 🏙️

I always wonder why American shower don't have movable shower heads...how u shower ( woman) without getting your hair wet ??!, Also well I'm from Germany... Is there possibilities to build with German style windows ?! They just make so much more sense

[@houstontexasliving33]

You've raised some excellent points about shower heads and windows, and it's fascinating how design preferences vary by region and culture! Movable Shower Heads In many American homes, particularly in newer builds, fixed shower heads are the norm. However, movable (handheld) shower heads are becoming increasingly popular due to their practicality. They’re especially helpful for tasks like: Rinsing without soaking your hair. Cleaning the shower itself. Assisting people with limited mobility. You can often request a handheld option or dual-head shower system as an upgrade when building or renovating. Some high-end homes already feature these as standard. German-Style Windows Tilt-and-turn windows, common in Germany, are not standard in the U.S. but can be installed, especially in custom builds. They offer several advantages: Dual functionality: Tilt for ventilation, turn to open fully. Energy efficiency: Superior insulation and airtight seals. Ease of cleaning: Both sides can be cleaned from indoors. To include these windows in an American home: Builder Flexibility: Work with a custom or semi-custom builder willing to source European-style windows. Specialized Suppliers: Companies like Zola Windows or Intus Windows provide European-style window solutions in the U.S. Budget: These windows are usually more expensive but worth the investment for energy savings and functionality. Would you like suggestions for builders or suppliers in Houston who could accommodate these preferences?

[@fotsofranklin87]

Do you buy these homes with everything inside? Or empty?

[@njahmed5952]

Of course empty!

[@fotsofranklin87]

@@njahmed5952 😅 thanks

[@houstontexasliving33]

Typically, homes are sold empty unless specified otherwise. The furniture and decor in model homes are for staging purposes, to showcase how the space can be used. However, some builders offer the option to purchase the furniture as part of a package deal, though this would come at an additional cost. If you're interested in buying a fully furnished home, it’s worth asking the builder or seller about available options!

[@SiLentAssassin10]

Where is this at??

[@houstontexasliving33]

Kindly shoot us an email at [e-mail] so we can send you the details.

[@LiBingBong]

Starting at 300K for a 1 bedroom 1 barh 😀

[@houstontexasliving33]

It's wild to see those prices for such small spaces, right? In areas like Houston or Katy, you can find homes with more space and features for that price point, which is one of the reasons these locations are so attractive. Do you prefer the smaller, more upscale builds or larger homes at similar price points? Always curious how different buyers prioritize! 😊

[@joyfulliving6567]

But does it flood

[@houstontexasliving33]

Flooding is an important concern in the Houston area, and it's great that you're keeping it in mind. To determine if a specific home or neighborhood is prone to flooding: Flood Zone Map: Check FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) for flood zone designations. Properties in Zone X, for example, are typically at lower risk. Local History: Research the area's history of flooding. Communities in Houston often share experiences during events like Hurricane Harvey. Drainage Infrastructure: Look for signs of well-maintained stormwater systems, detention ponds, or elevation grading in the neighborhood. Builder Information: Builders often disclose flood mitigation measures, such as raised foundations or enhanced drainage systems. Ask the builder or realtor directly. Insurance Costs: Even if you're not in a flood zone, flood insurance is worth considering since Houston's weather can be unpredictable. Would you like help identifying low-risk communities or additional resources on this topic?

Too rushed; especially with the first 4 homes. I honestly couldn't remember which was which when they were going over prices.

@@shoshanaassaraf6692 there is a bar along the bottom that allows you to go forward and back in the video

[@shoshanaassaraf6692]

@jimbothinkslifeisshort yes, all good. I just meant the vid itself felt very rushed.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thanks for your feedback! It’s great that you’re a regular viewer. Feeling like an episode is rushed can take away from the enjoyment of seeing the homes in detail. The team might have tried to fit in more homes or details than usual, which could have made the pacing feel quicker than normal. Would you prefer episodes to focus on fewer homes with more in-depth walkthroughs? Or is there a specific aspect you'd like them to spend more time on, like the layout, finishes, or amenities? Your input can help improve future episodes!

[@David-tf3zr]

Your walkthroughs are tedious with unnecessary chatter.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thank you for your honest feedback! If you'd prefer more streamlined walkthroughs, focusing on key details about the homes, such as layout, features, and pricing, feel free to share specific suggestions on how the videos can be improved. For example: Should we minimize personal commentary and jokes? Focus only on essential features like square footage, finishes, or pricing? Would timestamps for each room or feature help? Your input can help refine the videos to better meet viewer expectations!

[@msb6887]

Ok… first let me say I appreciate your channel… but you have to know that what you’re showing Us, going through the homes,etc…. We can see the size of the rooms, closets, pantries for what they are……The issue I have with you and your partner is: the adjectives you use to describe what we see…. I.e. …. Big, really large, oversized, massive, ample space, ample size; when the areas you’re describing in the house Are Not… describing breakfast areas as dining rooms, etc. Just because you say it, doesn’t make it so….

[@Ea-n7x]

They are here for the builder, not so much the buyer. Not sure they will work on bringing down the price for us, if they already feel they are rock bottom. I wish they were more subjective to the buyer and what we are looking for. Great guys.

[@DanielDbroo]

If you need more in depth information on these homes, see them yourself. They can only do so much over video and actually are doing more than most agents out there to show you what’s available to buy. Plus, “big” to you is different for others. To me, 1000sqft is big, but for others is small. It’s subjective. Give the guys some credit. Do you know how hard it is to make an hour long video for you, the buyer?

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thank you for your honest feedback-it’s always appreciated! It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of showcasing homes, but I understand how our descriptions might sometimes feel over the top. It’s a fine line between sharing enthusiasm and ensuring accuracy. We’ll work on making our commentary more balanced and reflective of what’s actually on screen, letting the visuals do more of the talking. Clear, precise descriptions without unnecessary embellishments will better help viewers like you assess homes realistically. Your input helps us improve, so please keep sharing your thoughts! 😊

Is it a HOA community

[@houstontexasliving33]

Yes, most of the communities we showcase in our videos, including the one you might be referring to, are part of HOA (Homeowners Association) neighborhoods. The HOA typically helps maintain community standards, amenities, and landscaping, but it comes with monthly or annual fees. If you’re interested, we can highlight the HOA fees and what they include in future videos! 😊 Kindly shoot us an email so we can send you more info - [e-mail]
