Talk about details Ty! I am so anxious of the timeline during this crazy time, lumber costs, contractor shortages, etc. OMG - talk about biting my fingernails here! When u said some homeowners were told 18-24 months for completion for homes to be built - my heart dropped a bit! I am thinking they might have told the homeowners that so they can cancel and resell it for higher price and watch them complete in 12 months! My biggest fear is that my home won't be ready in 9 months which is the estimated timeframe by builder gave me which I signed on 4/5/21 or worse call me to say there needs to be an increase due to lumber cost increasing again. The price went up $5K on new builds since I have signed on. I am coming to hot summer months, holidays, crazy market.... Thank u soooooooo much for the vid Ty!

[@TyWilde]

Yeah, we're in for some crazy times. There's definitely a lot of unknowns. And you're right, home builders would love for people to cancel so they can resell the home at a much higher price.

[@chippope8984]

Ty, you're the guy!!! This is sooo helpful. My rental home had a fire and needed to be gutted from the inside. Most of the framing is still in tack with few repairs needed. There were companies that wanted to take over the entire process of completion but I, having done some interior remodeling on a couple flips, I wanted to do it myself so I could save some money and use that savings to get upgrades and a couple footprint changes. I wasn't so sure what it would entail, but after listening to your video's I feel confident that I can get the subs I need and get this home done with all the interior build steps. Thanks! I have decided to let SurfPro do the mitigation part and take over from there. Again, many thanks!!!

Nice. Any reason it look so long to get approved, or were they just working on others first? I signed 2 months ago, I think the permit will finally get approved. There had been pushback from the county because the builder assumed the county would roll over and accept an elevation with less than 70% brick. But now I get more brick than I was promised :)

[@ernieforrest7218]

Ty, responding to your return message, i was a home builder for over 40 years. Also a licensed real estate broker and a member of the National Assn Of Realtors for over 25 of those years. Now TY, how many guesses do you need as to why i bacame a real estate agent? Fact is i had been selling my own homes for many years before that. Fact also is there isnt a more seedy group than real estate agents as a whole. Which is why so many of them like you for example are making videos in order to promote themselves, while trashing others.

[@TyWilde]

I’m proud of you Ernie Forest. However, you don’t know a thing about me. You are clearly taking your preconceived notion‘s about real estate agents in general & applying them to me because I’m a real estate agent. I don’t trash other agents on my channel or ever. I don’t need to, nor do I want to. I’m an honest hard-working guy who always has my clients best interest at heart.

[@TheMnky7]

Great Video! You are very knowledgeable! My final walkthrough is 6 days before our close date. Hopefully that will give the builder plenty of time to fix items if needed

[@TyWilde]

Thanks for the compliment & congratulations. You're almost to the finish line. I'm sure 6 days will be fine, a lot of builders have a similar timeline. Thanks for watching & please let me know if you have any questions.

[@TheMnky7]

I have another question for you Ty as I am hoping you can help. The builder sent us a notice that we are nearing completion and it stated: “A Guided Tour of Your New Home - This is the date and time you will meet with your Home Care Specialist, for your homeowner orientation. The purpose of this meeting is to demonstrate the many wonderful features of your new home. Only buyers on contract are invited to this walk thru. Please remember children are not permitted. The meeting will last approximately 2 to 3 hours. It is imperative that you be on time as these appointments are scheduled back to back daily. We appreciate your cooperation.” During this “guided tour” will the house by fully complete by then or do we just get to see it and see how to use the appliances etc?

[@TyWilde]

@@TheMnky7 Excellent question. The home should be 99% done. Maybe just final touchups. I would have them show me how to use everything! Best of luck. You're almost done.

[@rosenieauguste4492]

Very informative!

[@TyWilde]

You're awesome, THANKS!!!

[@goyaliza]

Great video. Some things I've seen too with the process: delays due to weather, delays from the builder side where they build other homes faster in order to get these sold, and try not to get frustrated if you don't see progress on your home and there is progress on other homes (not sure if there's a red flag here). Different materials and even appliances might go out of stock and other choices will need to be made. Last one, (this is not a good or common one) builder builds more homes than planned and this causes issues with the city and utilities thus causing delays for months while they dig for water.

[@TyWilde]

Thanks for the compliment & your comment. These are all very good points. Often people get upset because other homes are built faster around them. The builder usually builds home in the order in which the building permits are received. But sometimes different materials may slow or speed up the home you are building.

[@tannerprebe1489]

My question is, is it likely for home builder to adjust the cost of the home during the home construction process? And how likely? How would you as the agent help navigate that? Is there any protections for the home buyer? PS you’re awesome.. lol

[@TyWilde]

That's an excellent question & it can get ugly. A lot of builders right now are giving ultimatums. Things like if you want to move forward, the price is going to be $50,000 more or you can cancel & we'll give you back all of your Earnest Money. Most builders are just eating it, which is cool. As an agent we just need to understand each builder contract. That being said, most builders do have the ability to cancel you without repercussions as long as they return your deposits.

[@shawnpetty3837]

Signed in March, groundbreaking expected late June or July with an expecting closing date between December and February. It's madness, but long timelines like this certainly allow me more time to prepare and put money away. The other crazy thing is the base price of the model I am building is already above the base price plus options that I chose for the house! That is a +25/30k change since signing!

[@TyWilde]

Thanks for your excellent question. I don't know the profit margin of each part of the home sorry.

[@jesseigo9967]

Hey Ty, You mentioned a home builder builds equity the longer it takes the builders.. can you explain how that works ?

[@TyWilde]

In a market where home prices are going up, the home will increase in value while it's being built. Since you lock in the price at time of contract several months before the home is completed you can easily gain $10k-$50,000 in equity before you ever move in. The market over the next several months will stabilize so I wouldn't expect major gains.

[@marciabrown5794]

What are windows wells

[@TyWilde]

That is an excellent question. A window well is placed in homes with basement where windows are placed. It's usually corrugated steal attached to the exterior of the foundation wall to hold the dirt back away from the window. Did that answer your question?

[@rosenieauguste4492]

Hello ty I am in the process in starting a real estate development business and this channel is very help TY I have a question for you do you know where home builders order their supplies from?

At what point should you hire your own inspector to do an inspection? Pre-dry wall stage? Post-dry wall stage? Before final walk through? All of the above? Not sure if an inspection covers all of that or if it’s all separate and paid separately I know you said your timeline is in normal times but that seems pretty fast how they can bring up a home like that. So in “normal” times it only takes roughly 3 months from excavation to moving in?

[@TyWilde]

Excellent Questions. Most people just get an inspection at the end. If you're not comfortable with the work the builder is doing, you might want to get an inspection done at the 4-way/pre drywall stage too. A normal timeline is about 4 months, give or take a week or two. Thanks for watching & for your comment.

[@TyWilde]

Rain is actually one of the biggest pains because there's not a lot that can be done when the rain won't stop. Once the home is framed in with the roof on, the rain doesn't slow things too much. But, up to that point it can really slow things down. Where are you building?
