i agree with everything you said except getting crown molding, counter tops and back splash completed after build. I did only those 3 things after i moved in and it was a nightmare. It was the biggest mess (especially the moldings) and to me my house has never been as clean as it was before and its been many months ago. but that was just my experience.

Thanks for your comment. That's certainly a valid point. For people who have the money, I definitely recommend getting as much done as possible at time of construction so long as you can afford it. If money is tight though, these are projects that can be done much cheaper than what the builder will charge & they're fairly easy to do.

Thank you again Ty, all the bullet points you suggested in your video matched exactly what our realtor's guidance throughout our first home building process 8 years ago. She's won so many awards as one of the top realtors in Ohio state several years in a row, and she's also my neighbor, we found out after we picked the lot. Having a great and professional realtor like you is such a blessing, she made it so easy for us and such a peace of mind!! Thank you very much again for sharing those tips, I got to review them again before building my next home. By the way, you encouraged to buy a house now even the prices increased by 30%, but what about building?? The wood/lumber price has tripled even quadrupled, would you recommend to wait for the price to come down near normal before planning?

@TyWilde 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you sincerely for the compliment. It really means a lot to me. You really are asking the question of the year. I think the market will chill for about 6 months. It got a little too crazy, but there's still room to run. The cost of lumber has decreased significantly & a lot of other material cost are declining as well. I think it's a great time to build or buy because mortgage rates are so amazing.

I've went with many of the things you mentioned, however, I chose to only go with a 5foot shower in the master bathroom as opposed to the tub. As it allowed for a larger walk-in closet, and I don't think I'd ever use the tub, especially having one in our main bathroom already. The only thing I am stuck on is determining where to put pot lights, I have no interior lighting experience... I just know I need them. My base price is $420K, and the goal was $30K in upgrades. 10K in structural and 20K in the design center.

@TyWilde 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching my video. Yes, the design process can be fun but there's a lot to it. Don't panic on the lighting. We had a room in our house that was darker than I wanted. I replaced the lights with LED bright white lights & it's now one of the brightest rooms in the house. As a matter of fact, I think you can now see our house from outer space.

For main living area It works great to do 5 recessed lights 4 in corners and one centered for an X pattern. Assuming you have a square-ish room. Kitchen , sometimes your kitchen designer would suggest locations but usually recessed along cabinets, other places that have recessed lighting would usually be hallways, but you could put flush mounts or pendants there as an alternative :) the options are endless brother

A main reason to add 3rd garage with builder - you can keep the house centered or in your desired location on the lot. Totally agree with comments on structure and specifically ceiling heights. We upgraded to 14 courses in basement which amounts to a little over 9 ft ceilings in basement. I’m told I was crazy to do this, but think it’ll be worthwhile when it’s finished. Walkout basement as well.

Great video thanks for posting. What are your thoughts on satin paint finish? Our builder is charging ~1k for it and says the paint will be more durable but not sure if it's worth it. I do have an 8 month old daughter so I guess that was the thought around that. Secondly, do you recommend ceiling fans? I'm getting the wiring done for the outdoor patio which is roughly $250, considering getting one for the upstairs family room. Third, there's an expensive option to have the kitchen cabinets go to the ceiling(no gap up top and extra storage space) which is roughly $3k. Do you think that's worth it and good for resale value?

Thanks for the video! I have my design center appointment for my Richmond american home this weekend! Question: the Included base paint is Sherwin Williams Dover White. I heard lots of people don’t like it cuz it’s too yellow. Is it worth paying for another color? They gave me the list of paint colors including SW Pure White that I am drawn to. How much estimated would that cost to choose a different color?

@TyWilde 4 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, I'm not sure. Prices can vary significantly from one builder to another & obviously, the price will be a lot higher on a larger home. If possible, see if they have a home with the base paint color so you can see if you like it or not. If you don't, you could paint by yourself after you close & save some money but it's time consuming. If you don't like the base color I'd probably just pay them to paint the home.

I have more question for you if you have a minute. I am getting ready for my new construction design center appointment.. and I could use your expertise 😀 1. I don't care about noise and I am trying to keep my cost as balanced as I can. Keeping that in mind do you find any value of solid core door over hollow core? 2. I really do want hardwood stairs but the builders are charging too much for it. Do you have any advise on it? Is hiring a contractor later on is a better idea? I myself have zero skills in terms of home renovation. Thank you in advance!

@TyWilde 3 жыл бұрын

@@labhita1 I wouldn't worry too much about the door if you don't care. As far as the stairs go, the cost of lumber is up so I'm sure that's a large reason why they're charging so much. I would just do the stairs as you want now. Why? Because if you don't do it now, you will likely never have it done & because mortgage rates are so low it's not going to be as expensive as it seems. For every $10,000 you spend, your mortgage payment will go up less than $50/mo. Does this help?

What I wish I had done differently: asked for Cat5 ethernet, instead of coax cable throughout the house. I asked and the agent looked at me funny and said thats "unusual" shell get it quoted, I asked if it would affect resale she said yes...so I didnt. Really stupid of me, who uses coax anymore its all ethernet. I have fiber-optic but only to the electronics closet, shoulda had that pulled upstairs

100%. All builders would be wise to include the highest quality fiber-optic.

Is it a bad ideal to go with a builder that doesn't offer upgrades?

@TyWilde 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think so. Especially if the home already comes with most of the features you want. If you can't add several things that you really really want, that might not be the builder for you.

What in your opinion is the biggest thing that gives people buyer's remorse when optioning their new homes?

@TyWilde 3 жыл бұрын

That's a great question. The funny thing & I wish that I had put it in this video, but the most buyers remorse comes from the things people didn't add. Often people remove something they really wanted to save money but end up wishing they had just added it. For instance my wife & I wish we would have just finished the basement.

I personally think laminate floors are unattractive. Plus, they don't add any value to your home. I feel the same about LVP even though builders in my area are putting this product in homes up to a million dollars. I've had real hardwood in all of my homes for the past thirty years and wouldn't choose any other product. I don't buy into the notion of "maintenance free". There's nothing wrong with getting off your butt to maintain something you've really worked hard for.

LOL. Yeah, pretty much everyone is doing it now. I feel a little different. I like the look of many of them, and as a father of 4 and because I'm working so hard. It's nice to have a few things I don't need to maintain if you know what I'm sayin'.

That is a good question but hard to answer as every builder offers different included features. I would recommend staying below your budget but making sure you get the things you need & really want. Most people who build need to let some things go.
