Building with Hanson right now, they offered a $30k lender incentive if you use a preferred lender ie Huntington or Old National. Very good design process, not always the best options (like HVAC) and customizations can be very expensive but so far I’m happy
I'm going to ask this question as your RUclips says best in Minnesota? Any recommendations for builders that would travel to the Alexandria area that you feel are a Quality builder but also an affordable builder who stands behind their work? Thx~
Unfortunately I don't work up in Alexandria so I'm not much help on that one. Benzinger and Christian Builders are two I would call, as both of their headquarters is on the NW side of the metro. However I doubt either of them go that far. Both are GREAT quality!
Ya know, I really don't know too much about Creative somehow! They aren't a small builder, but I just haven't seem to cross paths with them myself too much over the years. Sorry!
We built with Wensmann and then they disappeared. I’ve been terrified to build new again. But I know we are so picky that buying from pre-existing will be tougher. But it’s disappointing walking into these new million dollar homes and seeing them constructed so poorly.
That's a bummer! I haven't heard of that builder. I will agree though that sometimes what you think you'd get for $1m+ can be underwhelming - definitely. Which side of the Twin Cities are you? That can make a big difference.
THIS video is not only one of the most helpful videos on youtube !! but also the most needed !!
Why thank you!

Nice! The lender incentives builders can offer is awesome! I suspect we'll see less of that when rates come down.
Great information, some of the views we figured out on our own and am glad you mentioned the same.

HI thank you for great video. any thought on creative homes? haven't heard much of the builder.

Toll Brothers moved out of Minnesota around four years ago!😂 The suburban city councils were to demanding for Toll Brothers!😮
Not surprising. 😒

@@LivinginMinnesota we are south of the cities
Also you were probably in your teens when we built. They were completely gone by 2008
South Metro is a good area, not TOOO expensive at least.
🤭love your picture. I'm about to give up on building too expensive.
Thanks. ☺️ Don't give up! You can make it happen.
