Inside $600,000 Private HOUSTON TEXAS Mansions on Acreage

[@dj.1094]

The first house is a home! That primary is a true Owners Suite! Love it 🥰

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thank you for sharing your love for that first house! It truly embodies luxury and comfort, especially with a primary suite that's more like a retreat. A well-designed Owner's Suite, with its thoughtful layout and elegant finishes, really sets the tone for the whole home. From the spacious bedroom to the stunning bathroom and abundant closet space, it’s a dream come true for those seeking both style and functionality. 🥰 What other features of the house stood out to you? The courtyard, kitchen, or maybe the overall flow? Let me know-I'd love to hear more!

[@katmd405]

The first house is my favorite house ever. I love it.

[@houstontexasliving33]

The first house truly seems to capture your imagination-it sounds like it's a perfect fit for your tastes! From its design and layout to the details that make it feel like a "dream home," it's fantastic that you've found a property that resonates so strongly with you. What aspects stood out the most? Was it the layout, architectural details, or perhaps the features in the owner’s retreat? If you’re looking to explore similar homes or get ideas for customizing a future purchase, let me know!

[@whatyouseenow411]

That's TRULY an amazing SHOWPIECE Joe!

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're impressed with the home! Joe really did showcase something special, and it seems like it's resonating with viewers like you. If you'd like to dive deeper into the features or want to explore more options like this, feel free to share what you’re looking for. I can help you find similar homes or help with any questions you might have about the area, features, or customization ideas!

I have watched A LOT of home tours on KZbin and I usually hate the narration. But I must say, I absolutely LOVED listening to you two. The back and forth banter felt so welcoming. Great job, you two!

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed our narration and that we could bring a little bit of warmth to your viewing experience. 🥰

[@sieng8]

I don’t want to move to Houston. It’s too humid and high tax but when I keep watching your channel, it’s so hard not to move there. I love the two ranch houses. The modern one is good for young people who can climb those stairs. Happy to hear about the tax. Thank you for your video.

[@SouthernGent44]

There's no state income tax here in Texas, but yes, they get some of it back with higher property taxes.

[@tjn2254]

Houston is great place. North Houston it really nice and it's really nice south east closer to Galveston and the water.

[@houstontexasliving33]

It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the videos, even though Houston’s climate and taxes aren’t the most appealing to you! Texas does have a lot to offer in terms of housing options and amenities, but I understand the concerns about humidity and property taxes. The ranch-style homes you like are great options for people who prefer a more spacious, one-level living situation, and they can be a perfect fit for those looking for a more laid-back lifestyle. If you're interested in avoiding the humidity, there are areas in Texas with different microclimates or regions that are a bit more moderate, like parts of North Texas or areas outside the Houston area. These regions also tend to have lower taxes or different tax structures, which might suit your needs better. Feel free to share more about what you’re looking for, and I can help find options that balance the features you love with your preferences!

[@jspeedadventures]

I didn't think I'd like that first design, but WOW. I was blown away. I would style the exterior a little differently to suit my tatses, but that interior is easily one of the top 5 I have ever seen. Spectacular!

[@houstontexasliving33]

It's great to hear that the first design surprised you in such a positive way! It’s always fun when a design exceeds expectations, even if it's not initially what you thought you'd love. Styling the exterior to fit your tastes can definitely make it even more personal, but it sounds like the interior really stood out for you. If you want more details on that particular design, feel free to ask!

[@lavadamorrison4569]

The first house was my favorite. I really like the Royal Texan homes.

[@Hannahbenowitz]

Prices can go up real fast. Homes I was looking at 5 months ago are $40,000 more now today. They likely will go back down but then again they might not any time soon. Always a gamble. So a decision like this may result in a home price going up 10s of thousands of dollars.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@JosephineKenney]

Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

The fiduciary that guides me is Sonya Lee Mitchell, most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name. She's established.

[@JosephineKenney]

Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her a message. I hope she gets back to me soon

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're right-home prices can fluctuate quickly, and even a few months can make a big difference. It's always a gamble, and it’s hard to predict how prices will trend in the near future. If you're considering purchasing, weighing the current cost versus potential price increases or decreases is crucial. Locking in a price now might be beneficial if you anticipate further increases, but the market's unpredictability can make it a tough call.

[@lutrue8768]

I love when the sink stay together window! For me is perfect!

[@houstontexasliving33]

I'm glad you love that design! A sink with a window is such a great feature - it brings in natural light and gives a wonderful view while you're working in the kitchen. It adds that extra touch of openness and connection with the outside world, which is perfect for many people. 😊 If you’re looking for more homes with that feature or want to explore other designs, just let me know! I’m happy to help!

I visited republic grand ranch a few times and can see myself purchasing a lot there within the next 5 years

[@houstontexasliving33]

Republic Grand Ranch is a beautiful area that many people find appealing for its spacious lots and proximity to both nature and the conveniences of the city. It's great that you've visited multiple times and can envision yourself purchasing a lot there in the next few years! This neighborhood is known for its peaceful atmosphere, excellent amenities, and the ability to build custom homes that fit a variety of needs. Over the next five years, the area is likely to grow even more, with potential for additional developments and infrastructure to support new residents. If you’re interested in exploring more about this community or seeing available lots, it could be beneficial to keep an eye on market trends and updates from local builders. Are you thinking of building something specific, or are you still exploring ideas for your future home?

[@dianajones8598]

I love the last house.! And the Casita for my parents. Beautiful ❤️😍❤️🎉😊

[@houstontexasliving33]

It’s great to hear that you love the last house! The Casita sounds like a perfect feature, especially for your parents, giving them their own space while still being close to the main home. It’s a great way to maintain privacy and independence, but still stay connected. If you’re looking for more options with similar layouts or features, feel free to explore other homes in the area or ask about specific homebuilders that might offer a similar concept!

[@ForNNN_vn]

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.

This is the first time I've seen a builder imitate the excellent buildings of Atlanta Georgia builders. This is amazing and well worth it I just wish I could find this in a location closer to Houston

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're really impressed by the builders taking inspiration from the well-known architectural style of Atlanta! Atlanta is renowned for its elegant homes, which often feature grand entrances, spacious layouts, and high-quality finishes. Builders who adopt this style can create stunning homes that stand out with their detailed craftsmanship, use of modern yet classic materials, and thoughtful design choices. It's great to hear that you're seeing this level of attention to detail being reflected in the homes you're viewing! Do you have a specific style from Atlanta's builders that stood out to you? The craftsmanship and design details often found in this style can truly transform a space into something special.

[@lloydmott1291]

The third house is by far my favorite. I have looked at land over there which is about 30mins from me and it is beautiful property.

[@CBigsby]

⁠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.

I agree, while the bedroom might feel a little on the smaller side, the overall design, especially with the closet, more than makes up for it! Are you thinking of customizing it or just admiring the layout? 😊🏡✨

I'm a current customer of Black Oak homes (3rd home). They are building a barndominium for me across from Republic Grand Ranch. I must say, everyone I've worked with have been so cheerful. A bad experience can easily kill the mood and experience of building your dream home, but Black Oak has definitely enhanced the process. When I look at other barndominium projects on KZbin, I am so happy that I found Black Oak. The luxury feel comes through to tickle my emotions. Since the luxury items are standard, they have the economies of scale in that arena, meaning in basic homes, a luxury upgrade is overpriced due to the "special change" order. The area is great and starting to boom. The neighbors are so relaxed, unlike city dwellers, while being 15 minutes to the city of Conroe, and 25 minutes to the Woodlands. I highly recommend them.

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're having an incredible experience with Black Oak Homes! Barndominiums are such a unique and customizable choice, and having a builder that prioritizes quality and customer happiness makes all the difference. Being close to both Conroe and The Woodlands is a fantastic bonus, offering convenience without sacrificing the relaxed vibe of the area. It's great to hear that their luxury inclusions and transparent process have made your dream home a reality. Best wishes as the project comes together! 🎉

[@houstontexasliving33]

That's exciting that you're planning to build on your 2.4-acre lot in Waller! The Blackoak farmhouse model is a great choice for its stylish design and functional layout. It sounds like you’re looking for more square footage options of that model. If you're not able to find different square footage configurations on their website, I recommend contacting the builder directly to ask about the availability of other sizes or custom options for the Blackoak model. Builders often offer different plans or variations upon request. Would you like me to assist in finding more information or help connect you with a builder representative for this model?

[@houstontexasliving33]

Meridiana is a vibrant, award-winning master-planned community located just south of Houston, near Manvel, TX. It has a new phase with a variety of homes from the $200K to $1M+, offering options from several reputable builders such as Chesmar, David Weekley, Toll Brothers, and Perry Homes. This community stands out with its exceptional amenities like Oasis Village and Adventure Cove, which include a wave pool, fitness center, food truck park, and a luxurious amphitheater, making it a great choice for families and those who appreciate outdoor activities. The area is well-connected, being just minutes away from Pearland Town Center and offering easy access to downtown Houston via Hwy 288. Additionally, Meridiana is close to excellent schools, and there are future plans for more educational facilities within the community. If you're interested in finding out more about the new phase or exploring home options, you can visit the community's website for additional details or schedule a tour.

[@Wreckhavoc0225]

Now, are there any plans for apartments to be built close to these homes? It seems like a lot of the trend in different cities in Texas is the overgrowth of apartments and townhomes close to subdivisions that are primarily single-family homes. Wouldn't want to spend that much money on a beautiful home to be in a community surrounded by apartments.

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're absolutely right to be cautious about the growth of apartments and townhomes near single-family subdivisions. It can definitely impact the atmosphere and long-term value of the community. In Texas, especially around growing cities like Houston, this trend is indeed becoming more common as developers seek to maximize land use. However, it doesn't always mean every single-family home neighborhood will see significant apartment or townhome development. Here’s how you can approach it: 1. **Research the Area’s Zoning Laws**: When looking at homes or communities, check out local zoning laws. Some areas are designated for single-family homes, which may protect the neighborhood from multi-family developments nearby. Working with a local realtor who knows the area’s development plans is a great way to get insight. 2. **Community Master Plans**: Some new developments and master-planned communities (especially those outside central urban areas) intentionally keep apartments away from single-family homes. These communities are often designed to keep residential areas quiet and family-friendly while offering amenities like parks, golf courses, and trails. 3. **Look for Areas with Growing Demand**: In places like Houston, areas on the outskirts or in smaller suburban towns may see more single-family homes due to demand and available land. For instance, neighborhoods in areas like Katy, Cypress, or parts of Richmond have less apartment overgrowth. 4. **HOA Involvement**: In certain neighborhoods, an HOA may play a role in keeping apartments or townhomes out of close proximity. They might have restrictions in place to preserve the integrity of the community. If you're particularly concerned about being surrounded by apartments, focusing on suburban areas that are still under development could be a good strategy. Would you be considering an area near Houston, or are you thinking about other places in Texas? I can help dig deeper into the options for you!

It’s always a good idea to compare the pros and cons of both, especially considering the layout, amenities, and the overall feel of the homes. Do you lean more towards the open spaces of House 1 or the functionality of the extra space in House 3?

[@houstontexasliving33]

I haven't found any specific information on 60 Grand Beach in Galveston, Texas, from my sources, but if you're looking for beautiful homes in the area, the location offers great potential for scenic views and luxurious living near the beach. You might want to check with local real estate listings or agents in Galveston, as they can offer more detailed and up-to-date information on properties like the one you're interested in. Galveston is known for its coastal charm, and homes near the beach can be fantastic investments!

[@nabimiso]

Holy cow. Those would be millions in Utah where I'm from. I need to move to Texas lol

[@houstontexasliving33]

Yes, the difference in home prices between Texas and Utah is significant! In many parts of Texas, especially outside of major cities like Austin and Dallas, you can find much more space for a fraction of what similar homes would cost in Utah. For example, a large luxury home with acreage in Houston or surrounding areas might cost $600K to $1M, while in areas like Salt Lake City or Park City, the same property could easily be in the $1.5M to $3M range or higher. Texas offers some of the best home affordability in the country, especially when compared to high-cost states like California, New York, and Utah. With lower property taxes and fewer zoning restrictions, you can get more house for your money in Texas. If you’re planning to make the move, it’s definitely an exciting opportunity to consider-especially if you’re used to the higher price tags in Utah! Let me know if you need help finding homes in the areas you're looking at, or tips for relocating to Texas!

600k mansion!!!! My first house bought in 2021 was 640k in Wa state.

[@thegianttreeservice63]

I’m in Tomball Texas 1.8 acres 4 bedroom double wide mobile home. Septic tank water well 1,400 privacy fence. $423,000.00

[@houstontexasliving33]

It’s incredible how much house you can get in Texas compared to other places like Washington State. With the price of $600K, you could get a sprawling home with acreage in areas around Houston, which is much more affordable than similar properties in states like Washington, where $640K might get you a home of a smaller size or in a less central location. Prices like these show how real estate varies depending on the region and housing market dynamics. In Texas, $600K might even buy you a mansion or a spacious home in a desirable neighborhood, with features like large backyards, modern kitchens, and expansive living spaces. It's a stark contrast to pricier locations on the West Coast or Northeast, where properties with similar square footage might be priced much higher due to land value and location. Is there a specific type of property you're considering in Texas, like something with acreage or a custom build?

I love these houses. Can these builders build a custom house in another state?

[@houstontexasliving33]

It depends on the builder and the state you're interested in. Many custom home builders have the capability to work in multiple states, especially if they have a larger, more experienced team or the ability to partner with local subcontractors in different areas. However, some builders may focus only on specific regions or have limitations based on local regulations, building codes, or their supply chains. For instance, if you're considering builders like Black Oak Homes or other high-end builders who create custom homes with unique designs, it's possible they might be willing to work in another state, but you would need to discuss specific logistics and cost with them directly. Keep in mind that factors like local building permits, regulations, and construction standards can vary greatly from state to state, so it could involve additional planning or coordination. If you have a particular builder in mind, it’s a good idea to contact them directly to inquire about their ability to take on out-of-state projects and what additional costs or considerations that might entail. Would you like me to help you find a builder who works in the state you're considering?

Cool just checked this area out - Unfortunately with high school students, Wills HS doesn't look like a good option :( great prices though.

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you’re doing some thorough research on schools in the area! If Wills High School isn’t a good fit for your high school students, there are other school districts in the vicinity of homes you’re considering in Houston that might be more appealing depending on their academic performance, extracurricular opportunities, and community feel. For example, schools in areas like Katy ISD or Cypress-Fairbanks ISD often receive high ratings, especially for their high school programs. If you're looking for specific schools with strong academic programs and extracurriculars, it might be worth checking out school rating sites like GreatSchools or niche.com for more details on nearby options and user reviews. It's also a good idea to consider the drive time and overall neighborhood vibe as you narrow down your search for the right community. Would you like me to help look into other areas or school districts near the homes you're interested in? Let me know how I can assist!

1st house-dog room- May I suggest placing metal panel on the bottom half of doors? Dogs often damage the bottom half of doors by jumping up and scratching the door. You might consider aging in place in the bathrooms with handrails and wheelchair access through doorways and toilet areas

[@houstontexasliving33]

Great suggestions! Adding metal panels to the lower half of the dog room doors is a practical way to prevent scratches while maintaining durability. Incorporating aging-in-place features, like handrails and wider doorways for wheelchair accessibility, can make homes more versatile and appealing for long-term use. These thoughtful modifications ensure the home is functional for all stages of life. Are there any other features you'd prioritize for a dream home? 😊

[@MegajasmineR]

@@houstontexasliving33 I would suggest you buy a wide wheelchair and use it for a day in one of your homes. Especially the bathroom sink needs leg room underneath and side faucet is preferred. No threshold on shower as wheelchair needs to go inside. Toilet will need wheelchair able to park along the side in order for easy movement between stool and chair. Handrails around stool and in shower room. The Kitchen should have lower cabinets or modern pull-down cabinets. The sink should be the same leg room as bathroom. Last--no stairs.

[@sortathesame8701]

Of course the lot is extra! They are showcasing custom build homes! You buy your lot, then choose a builder who designs your perfect home that best suits your property! We got a steal of a deal, paid $15,000 for our two acre lot in Virginia, then put a $750,000 custom home on the lot! We wanted a home that anyone could raise a family in, then age in place!

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you made a great investment with your custom home! By purchasing a lot and choosing a builder that suits your needs, you were able to create a family-friendly, long-term home. A $15,000 lot for two acres in Virginia is definitely a steal. If you're interested in custom homes in Texas, I can help you find similar options or guide you through the process. Let me know if you’d like more information!

[@gregory5347]

This is probably around the right price,the square footage has gone up and if it's a custom home you might pay a $150 a square foot plus a 2 acre lot and the area that it's in so yes this 4k plus house could cost more,inflation in the real estate market isn't going down hopefully it will level off

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're absolutely right! Custom homes, especially with larger square footage and acreage, can definitely push the price up. The per-square-foot cost for custom builds can vary depending on the materials used, the design, and the location of the property. In areas where land is more abundant, like parts of Texas, you can get a lot more house and space for your money compared to more densely populated areas. Inflation in the real estate market has made things a bit unpredictable, but hopefully, as you said, it'll level off soon, allowing buyers to find more reasonable prices without the constant rise in costs. It's an exciting time to look into custom homes, especially in growing areas like Houston!

3 is the best looking and the most affordable

[@houstontexasliving33]

House 3 certainly strikes a great balance between aesthetics and affordability! It sounds like it checks all the right boxes for style and value. What specific features of House 3 stood out to you the most?

[@Cbink82]

The sink overlooking the window on the first house is designed by someone that doesn’t cook. No one that cooks everyday wants to walk across the kitchen to the window to drain pasta etc, there’s no working triangle here, it’s a straight line. At the very least there should be a prep sink in the island.

[@houstontexasliving33]

You make a great point about kitchen design and functionality! For those who cook regularly, having an efficient "work triangle"-the layout connecting the sink, stove, and refrigerator-is key to minimizing unnecessary movement and improving workflow. A poorly positioned sink, such as one overlooking a window far from the stove, can disrupt this flow. ### Suggestions for Improvement: 1. **Add a Prep Sink**: Placing a small prep sink in the kitchen island would improve usability, especially for tasks like draining pasta or rinsing vegetables while keeping the main sink for larger tasks. 2. **Reconfigure the Layout**: Moving the main sink closer to the stove or centralizing the work triangle would enhance practicality. 3. **Dual Sinks**: In larger kitchens, two sinks-one for prep work and one for dishwashing-can significantly improve convenience. ### Why This Happens: Architects and designers often prioritize aesthetics and external views when placing the main sink. A sink overlooking a window provides natural light and a pleasant view, but it may compromise usability if the rest of the kitchen layout isn’t optimized for cooking. If you’re considering a home or redesigning a kitchen, it’s helpful to work with a designer who understands cooking workflows to avoid such pitfalls. Let me know if you'd like additional tips or design advice!

Are septic tanks required for these homes? My family and I will be moving to the Houston area within 2-3 years. I do want to live in the suburbs, however I'm not a fan of septic tanks. I'm looking forward to moving to Houston. Thank you!

[@loganparkerproject306]

That community is not tied into city water and sewage so need own septic. Maybe own water well.

[@katonyasmyth4639]

@@loganparkerproject306 I figured that out myself. Thank you.

[@houstontexasliving33]

In the Houston suburbs, whether a home requires a septic tank depends on its location and the type of utility infrastructure available. Here’s a breakdown: 1. **Urbanized Suburbs**: Many suburban areas near Houston, such as Sugar Land, Katy, and Pearland, are well-developed with public water and sewer systems. Homes in these areas typically do not require septic tanks. 2. **Rural Suburbs or Acreage Communities**: If you're considering areas like Republic Grand Ranch, Magnolia, or parts of Fulshear, these often feature larger lots or acreage properties where public sewer systems might not be available. In such cases, septic systems are common. 3. **Master-Planned Communities**: Many new master-planned communities in the Houston suburbs, even in semi-rural areas, are being developed with modern infrastructure, including sewer connections, which eliminates the need for septic tanks. ### Key Considerations - **HOA and Community Standards**: Some neighborhoods specify requirements for utilities in their development agreements. - **Builder Details**: If purchasing a new home, builders or developers typically disclose whether the property is on a septic system. As you plan your move, I recommend researching specific communities or consulting with a local realtor to identify areas that align with your preferences. Let me know if you’d like recommendations or more details about specific Houston suburbs!

That sounds like a great plan! Adding more wood detail can really elevate the overall aesthetic of a home, bringing warmth and character to both modern and traditional styles.

Do you have specific areas in mind where you’d like to see more wood accents, such as in the living room, kitchen, or entryway?

House 3 definitely seems to have a lot of appeal, especially with the added bonus of a shop. Having that extra space is such a valuable feature, especially if you're someone who enjoys working on projects or needs storage for vehicles, equipment, or hobbies. The added shop space in a home like that would be a huge plus for saving money in the long run, as you wouldn't need to rent additional space for your tools or toys. Also, given the overall price of the home, having such a feature could make it a more cost-effective option compared to others that might not offer that kind of utility space.

Then the east side (behind the kitchen) would be her living quarters with a sizable (not huge) bedroom with a small attached den area so she can watch her shows in her recliner 😊 And a handicap accessible bathroom with an easy walk-in shower (that doesn't have a step to get into). And plenty of grab bars. 😂 On the opposite side of the living room would like 2 ensuite bedrooms, 1 for me & 1 for guests. Would like the upstairs bedrooms to be replicated like the downstairs. Would welcome my in-laws to the "suite" And my children to the other bedrooms. I would love a massive sliding glass doors that give the indoor-outdoor feel with an outdoor kitchen because I love to cook.

I have a question for the guys in the video. Can any of these houses be built in another state?

[@houstontexasliving33]

Great question! Whether a specific home can be built in another state typically depends on the builder's operations and where they offer services. Many large home builders, like Westin Homes, offer their models in select regions, but they may not be available in all states. If you're interested in building a specific home design outside of Texas, it's worth checking with the builder directly to see if they have any operations or partnerships in your desired location. Alternatively, some design features and floor plans may be adaptable or customizable to suit local building codes and preferences. Are there any particular homes or designs you're thinking of building outside of Texas? That might help narrow down the possibilities!

It’s surprising how much home prices vary depending on location! A $2 million home in Texas can get you a large, luxurious property, but in areas like parts of California, New York, or Washington, D.C., you might be looking at a much smaller home or even just a townhouse. It’s fascinating to see how local economies, demand, and property taxes influence pricing. Are you considering moving from an area with higher prices, or are you already based in Texas?

[@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.

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're right! The second home's design seems more contemporary, featuring mid-pitched gable roofs rather than the classic prairie style's low-pitched hip roofs. Prairie homes often incorporate deep overhangs to manage sun exposure and withstand high winds.

The first estate was gorgeously styles yet the refrigerator size and details don't belong. The color is on point. Duel dishwashers are definitely needed. That space looks empty. A 2nd fridge or a large wine 🍷 fridge in the walk-in pantry would have been a 4 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 in a half star rating

[@houstontexasliving33]

I agree! The first estate was beautifully styled with a lot of attention to detail, but the refrigerator could have been larger to match the grandeur of the space. A fridge that’s in proportion to such a large kitchen is definitely a key feature, and I think adding dual dishwashers was a smart move for efficiency, but a second fridge or a large wine fridge in the walk-in pantry would have definitely elevated the space even more. It would add both functionality and a touch of luxury, perfect for a home of that caliber. I think you’re spot-on with your half-star critique. It’s these finer details, like appliance sizes and placement, that can make a home truly feel complete, especially in a kitchen that’s as expansive and beautiful as that one.

Love all 3 homes… quick question? How does your buddy BBQ at the first house? The bbq is up to his neck in height

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're referring to the BBQ setup in the first home, where the height could indeed make it awkward to use for some people. If the BBQ grill is positioned high up, it may not be as accessible for everyone. To make it more comfortable, a solution could be lowering the grill to a more standard height, or using a separate table or platform for the grill to reduce strain. If it’s a built-in BBQ area, it may just be a design feature meant to be visually appealing, though practical adjustments can always be made to suit personal preferences. If you have ideas on how you'd like to adjust that in your own future home, I'd be happy to brainstorm! Would you be making changes to the grilling setup if you were to have a similar BBQ feature in your home?

Am I the only one that hates the paint over brick exterior?

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're definitely not alone in that preference! Many people feel that painting over brick can detract from the natural texture and character of the material. Brick is often appreciated for its timeless, rustic look, and when painted, it can sometimes look more modern or "sterile," which isn't to everyone's taste. Plus, it can hide the beautiful variations and patterns that natural brick provides. Some people do like the look, especially if they're going for a more contemporary or cohesive aesthetic, but for those who appreciate the authentic charm of brick, it's understandable why painting it over would be a deal-breaker!

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.

You raise an interesting point about the potential risks in the housing market, especially with high interest rates and concerns about a potential housing crash. It’s true that the market can be unpredictable, and buying a home, particularly in times of economic uncertainty, comes with risks. Interest rates have been high recently, which can affect affordability and the long-term value of a home. As you noted, many buyers are facing higher monthly payments, which can strain their finances if market conditions change drastically. If a housing downturn occurs, it’s possible for home values to decrease, which could leave some homeowners underwater (owing more than their home is worth). It’s important for potential buyers to consider their financial stability, long-term goals, and the local market conditions before making a major purchase. Real estate is often a long-term investment, but understanding the risks involved, especially in a changing economy, is crucial. As for the economic outlook, predictions about the future of the housing market can vary. While some experts anticipate a cooling off due to rising interest rates and inflationary pressures, others believe that demand will remain relatively strong due to factors like housing shortages and limited inventory. It’s always good to stay informed by looking at multiple perspectives from economists and market analysts. If you're planning to buy during a potential downturn, it's a smart move to consult with a financial advisor and a real estate expert who can help you assess your personal situation and guide you through the process. If you’re still planning to relocate, be sure to stay informed about current market trends, and feel free to reach out if you’d like help navigating the process when the timing is right.
