Lower the price of new houses. Lower the salary of the CEO. At a certain price point a buyer and seller will meet.
@WendyPannell Ай бұрын
Not sure about the CEO part but home prices are coming down some. The big push is discounts through incentives though. Lots of offers there and many times it is deceptive because they are impossible incentives. Oftentimes the buyer doesn’t realize unused incentives are voided and it gets lost easily in the contract pricing. Suddenly the buyer is like wait, where did my 40k go? Well, it was subject to a 6% cap and anything not used is lost.

Have you done a video on who builds the best bones of a house?
@WendyPannell Ай бұрын
I've done many individual builder reviews but I haven't done one where I focus on the best bones. Ones I've been impressed with are all on the upper end side: Tradition, Normandy and K Hov. That's a good question - the bones. When people ask me about the best buyer overall I'm never sure how to respond. For example, Tradition doesn't have great terms on their home warranty. Normandy has both the escalation and convenience clause in their contracts and.K Hov has a $350 per day late fee if you can't close on time. Good in some respects, not so good in others!

We learned builders stay pretty quiet through the build process. I'm guessing it's to keep people from becoming too involved and bugging them to death, which I get. I've seen horror stories from both sides. They should be sending you updates as things progress. Ask lots of questions if there's something you don't understand, and don't let up until they've been answered. Other than that, get used to the silence. By all means, hire an inspector for each phase of your build! It's well worth the expense. And finally, you won't get a refund. That's why it's so very important to be sure you're making the right decision before entering into the contract.

@@leeslees65 they shouldn't be quiet right now because they should be setting appointments to get down my structural changes and options so they can request the permit to build. They had a changeover in management that was unexpected, but the continuity of care should not have fallen by the wayside. They need to plan better going forward because that was annoying. I've finally heard back from them now.

There's an old joke usually titled something like, "how government works" that probably fits here. The story basically is of a low paid guard that through the wasteful, unaccountable, bureaucratic mind results in another 10 employees that produce nothing, but 'manage' at various interlocked levels. Their roles guaranteed only by the other roles, eventually a congressional audit finds they are over budget, so they fire the guard. Based on my personal experience, and talking to others over the decades in DFW, I am amazed how terrible the work is, but how luxurious the pay is for non-producing cruft. The result is an outrageous price for low quality work that has an old style apartment building, "paint over everything" whitewash approach. The lawns are sprayed on while the soil is unconditioned and problems soon arise. Look in the attic and see the terrible work, or observe the shoddy frame level components like insulation, if even present as areas are skipped or skimmed over and I wonder if it was done in the style of some kids covering up the vase they broke.

I would have to say I'm not this far on the continuum with you. I see some of poor quality but I wouldn't say they're all that way. I see some that are very solidly built from sheathing all the way to components and fixtures.

I was working on some market analyses yesterday and found one home listed at 100k above list price compared to the prices that builder had recently accepted.

The house flippers are bringing ruin to many. The results are, and you can read this in replies here, to move from house to house and only have higher end homes. The American dream was shot in the head and now in its place is abject greed. Ask remaining WW2 vets how they returned and because of quality, forever homes they could focus on building up prosperity for their family and not need to be market experts merely to break even.

That's an interesting question. I'm working on a video now where I discuss first time home buyers and how sometimes they have to buy those lower level homes. One of the things I emphasize is to buy for the equity and don't plan to stay long term! So, I think DR Horton has a place. It's just not somewhere that you want to put down deep roots because the systems and fixtures are not going to be a high level quality.

When you say they are building too much are you implying that they have started a lot of homes as specs and not build to order.? If that is the case where are there subdivisions where there are a bunch of unsold homes (more than 10) sitting there.? The big builders like to have 90% of their construction activity as backlog meaning they sold the home as a build job to a customer who toured and purchased from the model. They will always have inventory homes for people who want to move in fast. So again where are builders building tons of spec inventory? And this is not a pissing match, this is a real question because I'm curious

@@jamesstovall1839I could do a deep dive and create a spreadsheet with this info but yes, many, many builders with more than ten. So many! Devonshire in Forney comes to mind. 71 active new construction inventory homes there.
@jamesstovall1839 Ай бұрын
@@WendyPannell I would only speculate as someone who understands the home building industry that not all those home are in the same price point because there are 9 different builders in that subdivision with about 8-9 different price points and amenities so the question is how many homes at a given lot width, square footage, and amenities are available at any given time. Hell History Makers has a product in there starting at the high $200,000 and on the other end of the pendulum Partners in building has product starting at the $600,000. Also not all inventory homes are finished yet as a lot of these homes won’t be completed till end of the year so it may seem like a lot and yes builders are willing to make a deal to ensure they don’t have excess inventory down the road. All it takes is mortgage rates to hit say 6-6.5 and you could have a shortage of move in homes real quick. Again not trying to start a pissing match but these builders work with each other and understand not over supplying the market but at the same time keeping their people busy.
@WendyPannell Ай бұрын
@@jamesstovall1839Those are all great points! Devonshire has definitely had a lot of builders, though on the mls I am currently seeing six. Inventory wise, Historymaker has 11, Trophy has 16, Highland has 8, Ashton Woods has 2, William Ryan has 3 and Perry has a mind-boggling 28. You make excellent points on completion dates. I think another interesting data point would be to look up how much these builders have on their websites. Often that number is quite a bit higher than mls listings. We recently negotiated a contract in Devonshire where one of the builders encapsulated much of what I spoke about in this video. They were offering 35k on a 360k house but would not come down tangibly in price. That amount had to come from closing cost assistance. With a limit at 6% that is an impossible concession. The SC kept saying they had to protect appraisal values. We moved on from that builder to one who was far more willing to talk. We were able to negotiate a forward commitment, assistance towards closing costs and a price reduction. Every builder will be different in what they’re willing to do and you make an excellent point that so much depends on whether their inventory is sitting complete or in various stages. All excellent points. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

@WendyPannell Ай бұрын
Hi Chris! I am the Broker of the Brokerage we own and I speak the language of data. No one instructs me to make videos. Secondly, we have excellent, outstanding relationships with the builders in the area. They greet us by name when we walk in the door. They know we will be thorough, negotiate assertively, and request comprehensive information, but they also know we bring highly intelligent, fiscally responsible and well funded buyers. Those are the kinds of buyers who value our videos and we love working with them! Something we’ve experienced is new construction is deeply fragmented. All of the communities are like independent towns and they don’t speak to each other. On the infrequent occasion a sales consultant has watched my videos they’ll say, “I’ve watched your videos and you are right.” Your comment that builders don’t need Realtors to sell their homes is true. You can sell them an overpriced, poorly constructed home seven days a week. It is the prepared and conscientious ones who study, watch videos and know better.
