What to Upgrade in a New Home, how to save money when buying a new home.

[@kankan572]

If you know you are not going to stick w tile then don’t have them put it in at all!!! Just stained concrete if u know u are putting tile in soon... it will save the mess and money ripping up the old tile

[@NotShowingOff]

“Sometimes overwhelming”. It’s like trying to do well at something that you have no idea how to do it in the first place and you are literally learning how real estate gets valued on the fly. At least for me.

[@summereisert6731]

Why do you not recommend laminate? It looks exactly like hardwood but is so much more durable

[@movingtotexas]

It’s just loud when walked on. Luxury vinyl plank is the newer version that’s durable and looks fantastic

[@mulliganstew72]

For all it’s worth I recommend laminate. Mine’s done me well for over 20 years. Luxury vinyl plank off gases toxic chemicals.

What are your thoughts on detached garage instead of attached? Is it cheaper or more expensive?

[@deewinnfield4742]

So glad I found your channel! We’re looking into buying a new home in Midlothian. Going to binge watch all of your videos lol

Excellent ideas. Thank you!

That’s really great advice we could have used 16 years ago!

Builder is charging 25k for an optional deck off the master bedroom. Is this worth the investment? Is this going to give me a return on investment? Thanks!!

[@movingtotexas]

That is quite a lot, but we got a quote after moving in and it was $25K as well. Pricing had just jumped up so much this year. As for a return on investment it would be good for homes over $400K. If the home is under $400K I’d say the return would only be around $10k

No one is doing wood anymore! My parents just built in a 400k neighborhood and the entire neighborhood went w wood looking tile!

Thank you so much. Your advice will save me money.

[@AntoinetteCreary]

Love this. Could you recommend an expert in the South Florida market? North Broward? Thank you for all of the info!

[@movingtotexas]

Yes absolutely, can you send me an email and I will hook you up with an experienced new home agent! [e-mail]

[@Danyele-radicle]

Very informative thank you!

[@Dana-vv8pf]

That’s great advice! 🙏🏼

[@chardieboydorz1236]

So basically get all the upgrades lol bump up the price from $300,000 to $400,000 ouch that just hurts lol

[@santiagoogando1088]

Actually it doesn’t really work that way. In most cases the seller is already profiting from the sale price and willing to give you free upgrades just to keep the deal.

Skip the first 4:30. Lots of information that has nothing to do with upgrades. So much time spent repeating herself.

New construction at 20? Yea okay.

[@movingtotexas]

ha! you don't believe me, ok.

[@jab0993]

I'm 26 and just put a down payment on a new build. It's as cheap as a new home in the area I am looking in South Florida

[@jab0993]

Not as cheap, but not much more expensive. Maybe an extra 100 a month

[@jonathan91595]

I'm building brand new, 460k 3600sq ft house at 25... It's not hard if you're not a moron with money. Don't be car rich, invest

[@ArtbyMagic]

No you don’t need real estate agent under any circumstance- dead weight and you pay more because seller has much less financial space. Ditch the agent.

[@movingtotexas]

monchichiyoshi ha I used to sell new homes and each and every home was budgeted for an agent. We encouraged agents because they brought us 80% of our business. Only a dumb builder would cut them out not knowing they are shooting themselves in the foot. Large builders don’t give you more off because you don’t have an agent, they simply pocket the money. Every builder wants you to believe you’re getting a good deal.

[@chantaeeatman9192]

Definitely recommend having a real estate agent on your side. It doesn’t cost you anything so why not? Mine was invaluable. Asked questions and raised concerns that I would not have known to ask on my own.

[@whatistruth1155]

I agree. I am buying new construction and my realtor is a waste of time and money. A do nothing and crazy as a bat.
