It's just crazy how the market is these days. When we purchased our home many years ago, we got everything that the builders are not offering these days, which was standard such as garden tubs, double ovens, granite. etc. I just don't understand how people are buying these over prices homes especially if working in Florida.

I haven't yet looked at anything else you may have posted, but my thought is that it would be a nice addition to include a video on what to expect when working with good builders vs. what to expect when working with bad builders as well as the difference in customer service and quality service between locally-based builders vs. nationally based builders. Also mentioning the advantages/disadvantages (if any at all) to already owning land as opposed to buying a house in a subdivision would be helpful. Thanks!

This is very good advice. Builders were encouraging bidding wars. Now people are trying to get out of the deals made over the last few months. There will be bargains soon.

Hi Lisa, thank you for all info.I purchased last year lot in Burnt Store Village(Punta Gorda) and I am looking for builders.😀

Great guide - I would like to build my home in Florida without using wood and drywall. I like the concrete block in external and internal walls. I am not sure how to put the insulation to external homes and yet have the home fire proof - I have seen a double concrete block wall and insulation between the blocks; seems like very expensive option to put double concrete block wall. Do you have any other proposals of how to build concrete home without wood and drywall and still get high R value insulation incorporated in the project (except the ICF, I heard that termites eat through ICF, besides ICF burns)? For the roof, I would use steel frame and instead plywood and shingles I would like to have insulated steel roof panels with R-50 value; so the attic would be very insulated. Do you think that can be done in Florida? I have seen videos of those insulated roof panels used in Arizona. Lastly, would you suggest a home builder who can build a home like that in Tampa Bay area but cost effectively so the per square feet price is comparable to homes build by DR HORTON? Couple years ago, I have reached out to one contractor, and he said custom homes are not cost efficient to build.

If you have questions about another builder please feel free to reach out. Thanks for watching!

One of the biggest builders in the nation is building low quality homes. Their homes are built with the least expensive materials. The stucco is made out of thin layer. Roofs are often uneven and made from the cheapest material. Interior paint is a water based paint without primer. The interior doors are made out of cardboard. The stainless steel appliances are the lowest grade. Everything is made for the looks. The sales prices are high, the HOA fees are high. I don't know any real estate agent that purchased a house like that.

This would not be upsetting if there weren't many homes that began after ours that are months ahead of us and if there weren't a complete disregard for communication from all branches of the company, including: construction, sales, design, mortgage, and HOA.

Your the victim, don't like it?

It will warp,and pinch.and then what? Bye😅bye wallet.never listen to a real estate agent.they know nothing about building homes,just profiting off of them.they are good for staging the home with overpriced junk furnishings from their buddies.then trying to get you to pay double for used furniture.drop a ping pong ball on every floor in the house.watch it roll to one side or both sides.especially in the garage.its an indication that your concrete will crack.there are good builders out there?
