Imagine trying to buy a 700k house only for another 250k in repairs to get it up to code. 'Murica. Land of the knave, home of the grift.

My parents had their house built in 2010 and the workers couldn't even get the floor plan right. Turns out multiple people in the neighborhood had the same problem with incorrect floor plans. Lots of other people with roof issues, some had to replace within 10 years of the house being built. Others with flooding in the basement/backyard when it rained.

The workers were pretty much all hispanic, and I bet it's the same with all these new constructions having issues. Illegals are not master carpenters, but we treat them like they are.

Nah..I think $700k is the price of this new construction home.

This is why some ppl don’t want new construction. Old houses were built so much better
1000% I've been in SOOOOOOOO many houses trying to find something that I could afford but went and looked at some new construction homes just to see how they were built. I'm nowhere near any inspector but I could see issues with flooring, tile in bathrooms having issues, problems with windows. I remember reading that old houses aren't meant to be airtight like new construction homes which is why there are probably so many issues with windows because the builders dont commit to doing it properly to achieve ventilation efficiency.

Used to work for a paint and materials store. I was always making deliveries to job sites. The way those Mezzicans build houses is insane.

Brehitos will be blindly firing 100s of nails into OSB and doing all kind of nonsense just to get the job done quicker. Once saw someone connect some plumbing with duct tape. All while downing like 7 Modelos/Coronas and blasting deafening Tejano music.
