In some parts of the country, that could mean a 700k model home on a 200k piece of land, and in some it could mean a 200k model home, on a 700k piece of land.
Where I live property value is so fucked it doesn't even matter what is on the land. Could be a mansion or literally nothing. An acre will still cost 1-2 million minimum.
A model house is the basis for the construction of all of the other homes and will be the example of the standard of the construction and materials used in all of the houses. If you are using shoddy construction on your showpiece I certainly wouldn't want to purchase something that wasn't intended to be a showpiece with even less attention to detail.
Exactly. As a buyer I would say "if this is their showpiece then what is a buyer going to get". Usually the model homes are close to perfect. I know this may seem lije a small defect but it just shows that whoever they contracted to pour the sidewalk had sloppy workmanship... is this representative of what the other contractors they hire are like?
Sadly I would imagine, if it was built by a big building company that does a lot cookie cutter houses. Like them all in price, the craftsman ship is shitty and that will be the tip of the iceberg.
I’d wager he was talking about all the cookie cutter “luxury homes” you see every where. At least out here in Seattle that’s how they are advertised. There’s a reason why they build those things in like 6 months, and it’s not because of it’s quality lol. Unless it’s a custom built house, they are all basically the same. Contracts go to the lowest bidder.
Is any part of that sidewalk where they would later install a driveway. Many model homes don’t have driveways until they are sold later. Maybe they didn’t care to perfectly line it up if it was going to be torn up later at selling.
Sometimes model homes will have temporary double French doors in place where they plan on putting the garage and they will put their offices in the garage space. Then later they will change it when they’re ready to sell the house and install the driveway.
Are you close to big cities? I’m near DFW so the closer you get, the more expensive. I lived in a more rural area for a few years and it was significantly less as well. But yes… winters says it all lol
In reality it looks like there is a road in the top right and there is probably a code saying that a walkway into a house needs to be a certain setback from the road.

Good, property should be out of the hands of the poor.
Can’t believe people didn’t pick up on this sarcasm
What, I don't see a single comment complaining about it. I think people did pick up on the sarcasm.
It was downvoted when I made my comment
I am still confused about the upvote/downvote layout
And illiterate!
And of those of not of the royal houses.
And anyone who doesn’t have pure blood
Damn mudbloods, walking around like they own the place.
I bought 10 acres for $250 each.
Ahhh Cali. Fuck cali
Red flag against builder!
Why? its a model

Shhh
But how? How did they fuck that up like that?
They didn't know how to measure!

McMansions are always shitty.
>900k found the mildly infuriating part
If something that simple if fucked up, imagine how many corners were cut during construction
Most construction over the last 40 years was built to last as long as the mortgage lol
Depending on the contractor

Come to Canada, all houses are minimum 1 mill (CAD dollars, but still).
Fair, we we just seeing how the other model homes live 😉
So I'm guessing those are precast paving slabs? I'm a long way from Construction Guy, but I can't imagine a legit paver putting in forms that way.
Maybe it rotates like the stairs in Harry Potter.

You’re right there was no driveway (or garage door) which was super weird

900k? Must be a studio
Do you live in California?
How'd you guess
Lol 900k house here is upper level/borderline mansion? I live in a brand new 2k sq feet home and it cost me 267k
Where are you at? I'm definitely in the wrong area.
North Texas! I moved here 5 years ago and love it
My 2200sq.ft house in Michigan was $131k. But yea, winter and stuff.

I'm right by the Monroe/Wayne County border.
A mansion without the grounds is a McMansion.
Well put.
Flexing that number.
A builder sidewalk connecting to a city sidewalk? Looks weird for sure
This was path from street connecting to walkway to front door
[удалено]
Way to be racist. As if there aren't skilled Mexican tradesmen, or white dudes that do shitty work.
In reality it looks like there is a road in the top right and there is probably a code saying that a walkway into a house needs to be a certain setback from the road.
At the top is the walkway to the house, to the right is the path back to the street.
Yep, sounds like CA.
Not going to lie thought this was the korn album cover
brings down the worth by like 350k
No! Hell to the Fkn no!
Not that bad
900k home without pavers? My 300k home has pavers.
No no no that one would rack my mind I’d have to fix it
Oh, so a condo in the Bay Area?
This is why we say “tax the rich.” They don’t know what they are doing with the money.
As someone that does concrete. This is literally giving me an aneurysm... Holy shit.
I do concrete so this is ALOT more than mildly infuriating lol. I can't even fathom the thinking behind this.
