The type of homes wealthy people are buying in El Paso, TX.

[@TeXasDadBod]

As you know or maybe you don’t building materials have now gone down significantly but builders will say otherwise because they like how much they can charge for homes at the moment and tell people materials are still going up . Do you come across this often ? Wood for example has dropped back down by 40 % and it’s the number one reason builders will tell you that the home you saw for cheaper is now more expensive . At what point do you see builders stop doing this and stop using this as an excuse to charge way more? You might totally disagree for all I know but it’s happening all over Texas RN unfortunately .

[@Joey-qb7mf]

I’m sure other builders will abide by that drop in prices to increase their revenue in response to the high interest rates, which will lead to those other frauds having to doing the same. It should only be a matter of time. I guess that’s the only red tape here?

[@adrianlynnministries]

Ask for itemization of proposed cost for your real estate ATTORNEY to view, I’m sure prices would suddenly align with going rates for materials in that area!

[@sophiasoto1405]

My husbands family lives in El Paso great place to visit and have family memories. Most locals do not make a high enough income to buy such a house. Agreed there isn’t enough beautiful landscape or water (no man made ponds or lakes at the very least). These homes are for out of state folks to buy and than rent for a high price. They will see there is no market for such prices. Maybe bring more businesses or tech company to bring jobs and higher wages to make it make sense. There is no casino, sports team or art scene out of state folks. I don’t get it. If I win the lottery I would buy an older home with some charm on the west side upgrade it with keeping the charm and call it a day to bring the family over.

[@mitcheroar]

@@compatunzz care free homes. Two story home, with an ac unit appropriate for a 1000 sqft apartment. EVERY summer, the unit froze multiple times once we reached 100° days. We'd call for a repair constantly and had many sleepless nights because it was 90° in the house. Our insulation in the attic was improper insulation and caused the top floor to absorb the heat. So every room was warm regardless of the temperature on the thermostat. The peak of the roof was also done incorrectly and when it rained water would leak in through the gap at the top of the roof. The washer and dryer were placed upstairs and the drain pipe had trash and pieces of the wood from the workers. Even found a crushed up tall boy in the PVC piping. Into our first year all that trash stuck in the PVC piping caused a break, which led to the ceiling below the wash room to fill up with water and collapse. We had to get the ceiling fixed three times after that due to mold and mildew build up. Throughout the house but, particularly in the main restroom were sunflower seeds within the grout. The shower in the main bathroom was not properly installed and caused water to fill up on one side instead of draining. When we tilled the yard to place sod. We had to do it four times due to the amount of building materials within the ground. We ended up removing three feet of dirt just to get rid of all the trash. Our granite top on the kitchen island was not sealed down and used to shift if you pumped into it. A few rooms couldn't handle certain devices attached otherwise it would trip the breakers. The devices being a vacuum, TV, hair dryer and so on. The driveway was also done improperly and when the house settled three years in sent a nice lighting bolt crack down the driveway to the sidewalk. There were two small 1x3 windows towards the ceiling in my room for lighting purposes that wasn't sealed correctly and when it rained water would build up and run down my walls. There's tons more but, I hope that gave you an idea.
