⁠JoJo and Jackson, Please confirm these additional costs : For a 2 acre lot : Lot preparation + Septic tank + Propane tank = additional $100K. So a 2 acre plot is around $180K. So total I am guessing $280K on top any of the prices shown in the video.

Bought a lot here in Republic Grand Ranch probably the best decision I ever made.

[@Fmi700]

I’ve been thinking about looking into Republican Grand Ranch what do you like about it?

[@mfnazir]

@@Fmi700 It all depends on people who live in north Houston and have seen trees all their lives like flat open fields(lots) in Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, and people who have lived in Sugar Land, Pearland and other flat areas fall in love with rolling hills and Trees. That area is really nice with rolling hills and a bunch of Trees. You can get a 2-acre lot and build your own forever home. Ideal for those who are working remotely and prefer a chilled-out country living. Its not far from Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston. In master-planned community usually people get 45-foot wide lot max you can get 90-80 foot wide lot, here in RGR your lot width can be easily be in 140-foot meaning you can build a nice single story wide lot, or build double story as well, since all the builders are customs you can really build the home you want. There is no time to build so you can also keep the lot as investment.

Joe. Something you need to know is that none of those houses include the lots buddy. That's an additional $150+k depending on what you buy plus all the site prep costs.

[@dcleboski698]

Well, that’s just a real bummer. That should be explained up front by them before I waste time driving out there to find a $630k house is really close to $800k. That makes me want to “unsubscribe” to the channel because of them hiding the true cost.

[@Cbink82]

Spot on. As someone that’s currently doing a build like this I can confirm these are prices without the lot. This is Republic Grand Ranch and it’s typically circa $75- 100k an acre.

[@tracychandani2428]

They usually do give the correct pricing….it was probably an oversight due to the fact that once again they’re including multiple homes & so much info!

It’s called “click bait”, I only look at the video to just look at the home design. All the info provided by them is misleading. The final price is way more than what they say in their click bait title 😆

@@tracychandani2428 I've watched a few of their videos and they mostly show masterplanned communities that include the lots.

[@Hankitect]

There is nothing “prairie” or “modern prairie” about the second home. It’s beautiful, but it’s a contemporary style with all mid-pitched gable roofs. Prairie style homes typically have low-pitched hip roofs with very deep overhangs, which would be used to make up for the constant sun exposure at all times of day due to the lack of trees in the “prairie”. Also the long and low hip roofs are better at deflecting the high winds than high pitched gable roofs seen on more Victorian homes.

[@pjarvis13]

OK, so I agree, had to be without the lot, prep, etc. Can you get a smaller, 1 acre lot for $75K-$100K really, or is 2 acres the smallest. Also, since they are custom homes, beautiful, but more than we need, will that first builder knock off 1000 sq. ft. to 3000 and keep the great finishes. The smaller lot and house would more than compensate for the lot costs, and probably even bring the house price they quoted down. Would still be awesome!!

[@bishop70]

I build houses and the 600k of the title is NOT the real price of this house, I can tell you that. I recently managed construction of a 3400sft house in the Heights area of Houston - the construction cost itself was over 500k, without including land, design, ground prep, tree removal, permits, over the top trims, admin costs, profits, and a bunch of other soft costs. The developer put the house on sale for, I believe, $1.4M. Let me know if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises after you've already committed to someone for a life changing project like this one.

[@CBigsby]

@@bishop70 How much does it typically cost for Land Prep (ground, tree, permits) ? Thank you

[@bishop70]

@@CBigsby ground prep is very variable - do you need soil improvement, do you have lots of cut and/or fill, is it very overgrown, etc. To start with I'd budget about 40-50 cents per sqft of the property, just for grubbing and cleanup. For cut and fill, a geotech engineer will tell you what to do and you'll get prices based on that. Similarly, tree removal costs also depend on their sizes, anywhere from a couple of hundred to a thousand or more per tree. You have to be careful about some of the trees though - they might be protected or they might be serving as nesting places for a protected bird. For anything more precise, I'll have to see the property.

[@CBigsby]

@@bishop70Thank you for the response. Would additional $100k (for a 2 acre) be reasonable to remove trees, clean up, prep the land and add Septic tank and propane tank? We don’t have a lot yet but want to be ready with the cost expectation for the land cost and these other additional things which this video doesn’t mention. Just trying to educate myself before we jumping in. Thank you.

Great video work. Nice homes for sure. These homes would be so much better is they were located in Dalton Gardens or Rathdrum don’t you think Jackson? The price on these homes will be 50% off or more in the next 12 - 24 months after the upcoming housing crash. I never hear you guys talk about the dangers of buying a home as the market is declining. Are you at all concerned your clients will loose value and end up going underwater and then lose the home to foreclosure? With interest rates so high are you just looking for cash buyers that don’t know any better? Both you and your partner never talk about the economy and the high interest rates. You both act like everything is fine and it’s a great time to buy. I guess earning a commission is more important than being open about what is really going on. After the crash I will give you a call and see if your still in business and then you can help me buy one of these homes for pennies on the dollar. You know Jackson after the upcoming crash all the homes in your home town of CDA will be so low you will be able to move back home and buy that home you could not afford before cheap. It will be way worse this time than 2008. It will be interesting to see what you end up doing.
