Builders building cheap homes
Jan 28th, 2009 by Vinny
Article I found on the net, apparently builders are building homes with similar square footage but very cheap components to get the prices down. This destroys so much value of the more expensive homes right next door!
“Once-standard features, such as additional cabinetry and smooth stucco, are now options. Ironically, the reduced features translate into more space in some models for the same amount of money.”
“Other builders are using similar strategies. Trend Homes, which recently emerged out of bankruptcy, now uses vinyl instead of wood for window frames and is putting in fewer windows if they don’t affect lighting.”
