Going to be selling here very soon which puts me at the dilemma if I should rent for now and wait or try to buy. Buying seems horrendous in Colorado right now and building even worse. At least your videos for electrical outlets etc helped me with the upgrades I did to my current place to help get a better asking price out of it.
They mass produce homes out of cardboard. smh
Amazing information. Thank you for sharing
I'd recommend waiting until say 2024, 2025. I shouldn't need to explain the reasons why, lol.
Locked prices just translate into corners cut Everywhere.
Renovating a house cost more, and you're still left with an old house. Most of the suppliers, subcontractors or you name it are putting all of their attention into the new construction and will literally rape you on your DIY home renovation.
I wouldn't recommend a fixed price contract. Your builder will delay, delay, delay, then finally cut every corner imaginable and more before disappearing on you leaving you with a shoddy home that will magically not be fixed within the 1yr warranty due to material or staffing shortages they claim were beyond their control invoking the 'force majeure' clause. Then you're SOL unless you want to hasstle of lawyering up. Or, if prices come down, they'll deliver a decently built house at a higher price than it was worth.
I like this guy, he's straight up tells you how it is.....
what do you think I have my on lot in south central los angeles ca
As I write this we are 12 days from the end of 2021. You were right! We started foundation work in January, 2021, 11 months ago. All the way along we have run into high expenses and shortages of materials. I thought the high costs were bad but it could have been much worse as we seemed to always be slightly ahead of the supplies curve. Some of those supplies were simply not available a month or two after we got ours. A lot of the nicest finish items...think of items like bathroom faucets and towel racks...have been out of stock and forced us to go with fourth or fifth choices. The kitchen is ready for completion but Ikea has been out of cabinet drawers for months and our fancy French range is stuck on a cargo ship. I would do this again only because this is my dream house and I am now 70 years old with a time horizon is much shorter than those of younger folks. Anyway, thanks for your great advice.
