People think they don't want a tub till they get a pulled or sprained something and need that warm soak in Epsom Salts. Good tip.

I bought strips to put in the bottom of my jacuzzi tub because at 65 it’s harder . Slip and falls. I take a bath about once a month. But if feeling yucky then more often!

In my newly built home I did opt for the enlarged shower without a tub, the low profile would be helpful in my old age down the road… but I did add a hot tub for the lanai.

I think lot upgrade can be a significant choice if it is a large community with a main entrance, I would not want a lot near the main gate where every resident will drive by my house every morning and evening. I'd rather have one towards the rear of the community or in a cul-de-sac to minimize drive by traffic. It is even more important if you have children who play, skateboard, ride their bikes, etc.

Also I think for military members/ veterans should really consider shopping around for upgrades on real life, more so than regular citizens because of military discounts that they can get for flooring, kitchen appliances, counter tops, etc. small savings on big projects adds up. Usually its a 10% discount.

Waterfront lots are worth a premium. We don’t even look at property with no water view. It’s a well recognized added value; it even raises your property taxes, so that’s a thing to keep in mind.

How much would you say it adds? We're looking at getting the lot upgrade (47k increase 😬 on top of base price 642) because it's a 10,000sf lot (which is big in California) in the back of the community on a cul de sac, and it looks over a lake that the city is putting in. Lake won't be completed for 2 years. Worth it?

I worry about floods flood insurance , home listed in a flood plane

Personally I don’t use my tub as often as I wish but when I do I’m glad it’s there, there is nothing more relaxing than a long soak in a hot bath, great after a rough workout or a long day on the job

Definitely agree with you about the structural upgrades. Do those with the builder because doing it later are very costly and timely.

Amazing video! The most expensive upgrades we have chosen was lot size/location (corner, biggest in community), and a gen-suite with its own living room/kitchen. Other than that everything was pretty much standard except for extra canned lights, pre-wire for fans and painted cabinets. I think it’s more fun to be able to customize your home on your own and save for it rather than have it tacked onto your mortgage to pay interest on. There’s more options to choose from and you have more time to change your mind without feeling rushed or charged for it. Putting a hefty down payment helps a bunch too! :) happy home building

FYI if I’m not mistaken “re-decorating” (anything that does not require a permit) after you buy a house do not Impact your property tax which will be based on your purchase price. So if you are an experienced diy-er you might consider getting the thinnest non-upgrade flooring and light fixtures and installing the ones you prefer yourself. For example on the house we’re buying now and in the design stage just installing our own LVL on the main floor would save us $13,000, that’s after we buy the exact same LVL on the market and would save us $152 per year on our prop tax.

Thank you for this information. Definitely wished I would have seen this 1 month ago lol. We have just recently made our selections on our new build. We decided to upgrade to floors downstairs and upgrade the cabinets. This took majority of our little budget but I knew I didn’t want to deal with flooring and cabinets after we moved in. Some other hard choices we made was not upgrading to granite countertops but instead chose a beautiful laminate. Also, we did not like the stainless steel package the builder was offering so decided on black appliances so down the line I will put the appliances in that I really want. We also had to add pre wire to the other 3 bedrooms for a fan. I will chose and add the fans myself from a local place. We have the corner lot so we want to use the rest to add a beautiful fence

This was very informative and I’ve learned a lot about upgrading because I love tubs and a master without a tub and a double closet is not a master in my opinion

Great video and really useful tips.

Great video. I would say that these upgrades depend on how long you plan to stay in the home and whether this is a starter home or not. We didn’t upgrade a lot in our first home. We lived their 8 years before we grew out of it. On this house we upgraded our lot, upgraded for a painted accent wall, and upgraded the carpet pad and carpet, to name a few of the don’ts you pointed out. These were great for us because the costs were right and the lot was where we wanted to be. I wouldn’t have done any of these things had it been our first house and we weren’t planning to stay for a long while.

Thank you Akia, yes water line for a sink, it comes in handy to wash utensils and hands before going into the house. If space is of concern yes a stackable washer and dryer is a good choice or maybe as a secondary laundry room, like in the master.
