Starter homes

[Kristi]

Just seeing this - but I will go ahead and give my opinion.

The house I am currently living in - is my first/starter home. I was lucky when I moved out because I have a good job and found a great deal on my house. I got in on mine when the prices were still low - i had it built for me and got to design everything. Once my house was built and I closed and moved in - the same house as I bought was selling for $30K more than what I paid. I paid $148K for my house and it is valued at about $180K+ right now.

I think a new home is the best starter home - because when you first move out - you aren't prepared for all the things that can go wrong in a house. In a new home you have the warranty etc which is great. Plus I bought a KB Home. And with all KB Home's you get these walk throughs - where you go through the house with the builder like 5 times while it is being built and you point out every little thing that doesn't meet your expectations - and they fix it. Plus once you are in the house, they come back every 2 or so months and do more walk throughs just to make sure you are happy. Its been great. If you can afford a new home - I strongly suggest it - that and KB Homes as a builder.

not all of them do - my mom's builder didn't do that, and i meant to say that they do walk throughs after you move in - my bad on that one. You get 5 walk throughs during the first year as well. sorry.

Check out our website. We build a lot in the Gwinnett area. I can't get a huge amount off the price but I can get the attorneys fees lowered and a small discount on the house. We build 700+ homes a year. I am not a realtor I work in the office. I do the permits and the closings for Winmark. If you have any questions shoot me an email or PM. Good luck buying a house is one of the smartest things I have ever done.
