I agree. It is a great price point for Reno. Sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with your resale home purchase. My wife and I are huge fans of new homes. It's what we did for our last 2 homes. There are definitely higher costs when buying a new home (landscaping, property taxes, window coverings), but it can also kind of offset the cost a little bit if you are going to fully renovate the home. The time and cost of renovating a home can be a big burden for sure as you know.

​@@DavidTully775I'm in Southern NV and bought during the recession 10 years ago, so my home is now worth quadruple what I paid for it, so it's not a total loss 😂.

@@Ami-ml7gp Haha, love it! Las Vegas is blowing up for sure! I loved living in the Peccole Ranch area for a little bit about 12 years ago.

?

They build some beautiful homes for sure! Thanks for watching.

Here are some, hope this helps! www.palominoreno.com/ www.lewisapartments.com/harvest-at-damonte-ranch-reno-nv/amenities doublerliving.com/amenities/

I would recommend checking out the Caraway and Nutmeg at Cinnamon Ridge by toll brothers and my personal favorite the Wisley at Harris Ranch by toll brothers. I have videos up for all of those models on this channel as well. Let me know what you think!

@@DavidTully775 Thank you. I'll look for those videos.

@@mikeeldorado9221 You're welcome! Sounds good.

The HOA and improvement district here are mandatory, yes.

It’s a Limited Purpose Association- covering retention basins. $24 monthly. This is for their amber ridge community in Dayton. This community is sold out.

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching! The formal dining room isn't something you see much anymore, but it does look good!

How big of a lot are you looking for? 1/4 acre+ or something close to an acre+?

Hi David, something where we can look out our windows and not see everything our neighbors are doing. We live in the Bay Area now in a nice subdivision but still cramped quarters. Our neighbors are within reach of opening our windows so definitely over that. An acre would be nice but even 1/2 is probably plenty compared to what we have now. Also is there a better way to reach out to you, via email? My husband and I may be coming out to Dayton the first couple days in Nov. and we may just want to look around. Thank you so much!

@@cjsitzes8071 I completely understand. My previous house had two stories behind me, and I just closed on a new house with no rear neighbors; it is a breath of fresh air for sure! Definitely, here is my email. (david@renonvpropertysearch.com) That sounds good! Have a great day!

Thanks David, I just sent you an email.

@@M2Lyfe I look forward to helping you when the time comes! It depends on the builder. From dirt at toll brothers, it can be anywhere from a 7-12 month build time. Lennar can be 4-6 months from dirt, but usually have a decent amount of inventory. Dr horton mostly releases homes 30-60 days out from closing. So, it will mainly depend on the builder. I would recommend buying anywhere from 2-10 months out from your move. They usually take about 5-7+ years to finish a community, but not all of their communities are the same size, so that can vary as well. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Are you looking for a home to rent in a residential retirement community? Or an apartment? You wouldn’t be able to find a house at any of the Somersett or South Reno 55+ residential communities for $1000-1200.

Glad to hear it! Somersett is one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of Reno/Sparks.

@@DavidTully775 Yeah it's super nice and safe.

@@ebooboo6784 Definitely! My wife grew up in Somersett. I still love driving through that area when showing homes.

Thanks for your input, Glenn. It doesn’t compare to fish in Kona where I grew up, but it isn’t bad at all. Can’t get what you can’t get, so I’ll still be happy with $25-32 all you can eat here in Reno.

I'm thrilled to have a low maintenance backyard + also love it having no grass... grass is such a waste of resources. Another really nice place. For practicality and cleanliness I would prefer no carpet anywhere including the bedrooms. Yes it's comfortable in the bedrooms but it's not worth the trade off to me. You can always use area rugs and such if you want, which is good enough. I don't love as much tile as there is because grout is a hassle in the longer term. I also don't love it in the shower for the same reason (even worse there). I would prefer LVT and LVP (or something very similar that's very practical and super-low maintenance) throughout the house as appropriate. Also, you didn't mention what the HOA fee is.

@@nishiki393 Great points! I would agree, I really love the new LVP look that everyone is going for. I am extending the LVP in my new home. The HOA monthly total is $197.50. There are three associations. The HOA for the home and amenities, damonte ranch drainage, and damonte ranch landscaping.

@@DavidTully775 Roger on that and congratulations on already doing upgrades (imo) to your new house. Thanks for the total HOA type fees. That's an interesting structure, but the total seems more than reasonable.

@@nishiki393 Thank you! Yes, I'm adding a few things to my new home, such as extending my LVP flooring, adding a kitchen backsplash, and putting in some accent walls. You're welcome. I agree; it's not a bad price to have a good number of amenities.

@@DavidTully775 Thanks. Congrats again on your new place & those sound like some smart upgrades!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. 😎

What kind of help are you looking for? Rental recommendations, areas to live in?

No, I have never reposted a video on this channel. This is a new community by DR Horton. They built the same floorplan at their previous Dayton community Sage Canyon that already sold out.

@@DavidTully775 Okay it just sounded a lot the same, and now it makes sense why. Thanks.

I agree, it was embarrassing at the time. I would mention Reno and they would say Reno 911? Haha.. It’s a hidden gem for sure.

hey

They’re greedy because they want a better situation for themselves? That’s not really fair.

Donner lake, pyramid lake, lots of events in Reno (rib cook off, hot August nights, street vibrations). Tons of outdoor hiking, camping areas, fishing, amazing ski resorts, snowshoeing areas, and much more! Also, beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery, and four seasons unlike Vegas. It’s definitely more appealing if you like being outdoors!

@@StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson thanks for your opinion. 👍

The weather? Really? I’m originally from Hawaii and I think weather in Reno is pretty awesome.

@@DavidTully775 no way I'll never agree with that

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 🤙

@@DavidTully775 your video content will help me decide which builder to go with...

@@jeffreymcleod2382 if you have any questions about a builder, please reach out! Happy to help!

@DavidTully775 thank you sir!!

Close to this community? I would say the closest is probably Palomino Valley. Other somewhat close areas are Red Rock/Rancho Haven. If you want to go further Southeast, you can check out Fernley, Fallon, Dayton, or Silver Springs. How big of a lot are you looking for?

Yes, that is correct. Every new home community here has an HOA or landscape association. This HOA is less than $45 a month here. Are you ok with an HOA or do you prefer a community without an HOA?

Sorry, just trying to inform everyone. It is indeed a great place to live!

I appreciate your opinion, I really do! My wife was actually born and raised here in Reno and she still loves it. It is most certainly hard to buy a home here without a spouse/dual income for sure. Hopefully, you can make it happen one day! A lot of cities/states have had that issue as well. A lot of Californians have moved to Idaho, Arizona, Las Vegas, Utah, etc. Covid also pretty much-raised prices everywhere in the US due to low interest rates. I'm originally from Hawaii and while people love it, a lot can be said about why living in Hawaii isn't great either. It's super expensive, several families have to live together to make ends meet, and nice homes on the Big Island are $800-1mil+.

It has nothing to do with Tesla Californiains have been moving to Vegas and Reno because houses are cheaper and no state income tax. The problem is that they bring their liberal policies that mess up California with their soft on crime, their insane woke environmental policies. They infected schools with pronouns and a dozen genders.

Thanks for your feedback/opinion. While I agree a fireplace is a nice touch, DR Horton is going for affordability, while still building a nice home. A fireplace only increases the price. Gas log fireplaces also don’t heat that well, but they do look nice. It also makes sense why they don’t have a fireplace, I’ve probably had less than 5 clients in selling over 200+ homes that had a “fireplace requirement.” You can still build a home with a fireplace, but you’ll have to go to a builder like Toll Brothers, Ryder, Silverado, or even Desert Wind.

@@DavidTully775 Ya no. Used to come with every home. Now they’re just being cheap.

It’s a great option for someone looking for a new single story option under $500k in Sparks! Not a ton of affordable single stories these days. You’re welcome, thanks for watching! 😃🙌

What’s the happiest city in your opinion?

Not sure how I feel about the reservations, but maybe it will mean I can get to visit sand harbor in the summer without getting up there before 7am 🤣

@@DavidTully775 yes that just might be a good thing, I am not sure how they are going to do this, possibly like camping reservations.

I used to frequent Lee’s a lot when I lived in Vegas!

Yes, you can! There are some pools already in the neighborhood.

Thank you! I am in the process of buying a toll brothers home and I spent around $50k at the design center and $30k in structural options. Some of those structural options aren’t necessary, but I wanted an extra office and bedroom. The average homebuyer likely spends $80-100k on upgrades. What sets them apart is the level of care when building and the ability to customize your home. They are one of only a couple semi-custom home builders in the area. I own a Lennar home, previously owned a dr horton home, and I’m buying a toll brothers home. The quality in my toll brothers home is far superior, but these homes are at different price points too. They’re all good in their own way. I hope that helps! 🙌

Thank you! Great question. It's always best to have a realtor represent you in a new home purchase. Because if you don't have your own agent, the agent that works for the builder becomes your agent. They don't typically have your best interest in mind as they work for the builder. Builders also pay buyer's agent commissions. I also know most of the sales agents at every community and I have helped clients negotiate better deals with new homes, have problems fixed when they come up, get closing extensions, and a lot of that just doesn't happen without your own representation.

@@DavidTully775 Cost?

@@mikeeldorado9221 I mentioned it in my reply, the builder pays the agents commission. So, there is no cost to the buyer at the moment. But, that could change a little bit in August when all agents will need to have buyers brokerage agreements with buyers.

The video is about a city, you're talking about a state (NV). Nevada also does not have the highest suicide rates.

There is a very diverse range of people. They are really working on the mental healthcare system.

Maggie, you basing this off of what you read on the internet or personal experience? I moved to Northern NV from Washington DC back in 2013, and I can tell you first hand, that Northern NV in general is a much better place than any big city I've ever lived in (NYC, DC, Richmond, Sacramento, and San Jose). I've met Reno/Sparks natives that moved away to "greener" pastures in larger cities only to eventually come crawling back to Reno. I've had friends that moved to Reno to use as a midway point in life, then move to a larger city thinking it would workout, only to have them move back to Reno months or couple years later. Northern Nevada in general is a hidden oasis.

@@tovopro Agreed. I have had several friends move to NYC and the Bay area for greener pastures and have since returned to Reno NV. It's a pretty awesome city!

It’s a nice place!

@@DavidTully775 Took a trip to Reno to consider a move there, fell in love with it, did not even realize Sparks was a place or a thing because my host failed to mention it to me so I did not get to see it! I like that it is cheaper than Reno.

@@MAHOSHTRAHOSH Glad to hear you liked Reno! Yes, Sparks is so close and in the same county. Definitely cheaper overall for housing as well.

Very true! Northern Nevada is definitely a better family-oriented area, I definitely agree.

Roy Gomm is an awesome elementary school, nice!
