I moved from California and bought a rausch coleman 4 bedroom house for 224,900. Love the lay out. It's been great but it's definitely not high quality. My windows have already lost their gas after 3 years and they won't fix them, garbage disposal went out after a year. Neighbor back door would let water in any time it rained and they told him to build a patio cover to stop it and it was just a few months after move in. I knew that cheap materials and fixtures would be used and planned to upgrade on my own so I've been happy. Neighbors thought they wouldn't have to touch anything for years and we're disappointed.

Did you buy your Rausch Coleman home in Oklahoma or another state? Just curious! I’m glad to hear you went in with realistic expectations and have been happy with the layout. You're absolutely right-at this price point for new construction (under $250K), the materials and fixtures are often not top-of-the-line, but it sounds like you had a great approach in planning to make upgrades on your own. I’ve heard from others who were surprised by this, so it’s great that you were prepared. Thank you so much for sharing your experience-this kind of feedback is super helpful for others considering a Rausch Coleman home!

I used to work for the company that did the site design for this neighborhood and RC cut every corner possible with just getting the site ready. I've heard the same thing about the houses as well, not just cheaply made, but poorly made as well.

My mom bought the same type home near Owasso in 2022 for $225k. Built in 2018, corner lot. It is inexpensive for a reason. The construction is basic and the interior fixtures are the same. They are great for first time buyers who have some basic skills at home repair. Hard to find new construction for that price anywhere in the US. The final price of the home isn't all that much higher than the price of materials and labor to build it.

That’s a great perspective, and you're absolutely right-it's tough to find new construction at that price point these days, especially near Owasso! Homes like these can be a fantastic option for first-time buyers or anyone who's handy and willing to make small upgrades over time. It’s important to go in with realistic expectations about the materials and finishes, but for the price, they offer a lot of value. Thanks for sharing your experience-this kind of insight can really help others who are considering similar homes!

I'd be surprised if you can find one of those houses in 5 years that doesn't have foundation issues. I work for a concrete company that delivers most of the concrete for their slabs. The contractors that do the concrete work pour the concrete excessively wet to the point it just self levels and fills the form. I've seen them do some wild stuff like pour concrete in the winter when it's well below the minimum spec temp and they don't put any of the necessary chemicals or hot water that's necessary for those conditions. I've worked in the concrete business for 15 years as a driver and quality control and there is no chance I'd buy a Rausch Coleman house. I've seen too much to trust anything they build.

Wow, thanks for sharing your insights-it’s always helpful to hear from someone with firsthand experience in the concrete industry. Foundation issues can definitely be a concern for any homebuyer, especially with what you're describing about the conditions during the pour. I totally understand your hesitation based on what you've seen. It's a good reminder that when buying a home, especially new construction, it's important to stay informed and ask questions about the building process. I really appreciate your perspective and will definitely keep it in mind when discussing homes with clients or viewers!

Where the houses all look the same.

I totally get that! Many new construction neighborhoods, especially in this price range, tend to have similar styles to keep costs down. However, Rausch Coleman does offer different floor plans and customizable options, like varying brick colors, layouts, and interior finishes, so buyers can make their homes feel a bit more unique. It all comes down to personal preference and budget, but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
