Wait until after hurricane season, next flood, or freeze. Houston is insanely overrated. Big house because you're stuck in it for 9 months out of the year.
Wow, that’s crazy, right? It’s wild how much more space and modern features you can get in Houston for the price. What kind of amenities are you looking for in your next home? Houston definitely offers a lot of options depending on your needs!
@ gas stove, some place safe for a family, office space (I work from home), 3 bedroom 2 bath minimum, fenced in yard. My uncle pointed me to you guys. Iirc, you helped him out somehow moving to the Magnolia area 😃 hoping to visit Texas for the first time this year
That’s awesome to hear! Houston definitely has some amazing neighborhoods. What did you like most about the subdivision? Are you considering moving to the area, or just curious about what other neighborhoods in Houston have to offer?
Jackson, you didn’t even mention “The Bend” brotha. Right on the corner of BW8 and Woodland Hills. Two year buildout, and it will have new shops, restaurants, bars , and luxury apartments. The apartments are being built at the moment, but all the luxury shops and everything else will be open by July 2025!!!
Thanks for the heads-up! The Bend is definitely an exciting development happening right now. That area is going to change a lot over the next couple of years. Have you checked out the progress on the apartments yet? What part of Houston are you currently considering for a move? The convenience of BW8 and all the new amenities could be a game-changer!
Absolutely! Houston really does have a lot to offer - from diverse neighborhoods to amazing food and cultural scenes. What’s your favorite thing about Houston? Is it the city’s growth, the job opportunities, or something else that makes it stand out for you?
Thank you! Glad you like the properties! 🌟 When it comes to **investment opportunities**, Houston and its surrounding areas offer some great options. The market is diverse, and with the city’s growth, there are opportunities in both **residential and commercial real estate**. Here are some key opportunities for investors: 1. **Rental Properties**: With Houston’s strong rental demand, especially near major employment centers, universities, and new developments, rental properties can provide steady income. 2. **Flipping Homes**: Areas undergoing revitalization or new construction can be great spots for flipping homes, especially if you can find homes in need of renovation at a good price. 3. **Land Investment**: With new developments and communities popping up, buying land for future construction or subdivision is another strong investment avenue. As for **solar panels and batteries**, Texas has a rapidly growing interest in sustainable energy, and it’s a great place to explore those options due to the sunny climate. Many new homes are being built with **solar panel installation options** or are already **solar-ready**. Additionally, some builders offer the ability to add **solar batteries** like Tesla Powerwalls to store energy, making homes more energy-efficient and reducing utility bills. If you’re an investor interested in adding solar features to rental properties or flipping homes with these eco-friendly upgrades, it could be a great selling point. Plus, the long-term savings on energy costs make it appealing to buyers. Would you like more detailed info on either investment strategies or solar panel options? We can dive into specific areas or builders offering those features! 😊
Great question! In Houston, hurricanes and tornadoes are something to be mindful of, especially during the storm season. Most homes here are built with hurricane-resistant features, like reinforced windows and roofs. Some homes also have storm shutters or other protective upgrades. Are you thinking about moving to a specific area of Houston, or just curious about the general safety measures? We can dive deeper into storm prep for different neighborhoods!
Haha, I get it! Utility rooms on the second floor definitely catch people off guard. It's a pretty unique layout that you don’t see everywhere. Some people love it for convenience, while others find it odd. Would you prefer the utility room to be on the first floor, or are there other features in the home that you’re more focused on? I'd love to hear what you're looking for in a layout!
Yes! Balmoral has some really great bike and walking trails that are perfect for outdoor lovers. The community is designed with that in mind, offering scenic paths throughout, along with the beautiful Crystal Clear Lagoon for a bit of a tropical feel. Are you a big fan of outdoor activities like biking and walking? What’s your ideal neighborhood vibe when it comes to outdoor spaces?
This looks like a bargain, but absurdly high property taxes makes Texas a nonstarter for this home buyer. Can people looking for homes at this price point really justify throwing away an extra $400-700 a month for nothing they can hold in their hand? Sorry, but this retiree says FU to roads and schools. Texans really need to initiate a Prop 13 revolution. High property taxes that increase every year, making administrators and bureaucrats rich. It's getting out of hand and needs to stop.
Ah, so you're looking for more space and privacy! That’s totally understandable. Houston has some great neighborhoods with larger lots and more distance between homes. What kind of neighborhood are you thinking about-suburban or something closer to the city? 😊
Great question! In most cases, when you buy a house, the lot it sits on is included in the sale, but there are exceptions depending on the type of property. For example, some properties in Houston might be on leased land or have different ownership structures. Have you seen any properties like that? Would you like more info on how land ownership works here?

Is generation park developing the wave surf park or another development what’s the name of the new development erea for this surf resort and amenities thanks
Great question! The Wave Surf Park is actually part of the larger "Generation Park" development in Northeast Houston. The surf park is a big part of the plan, but there are also other mixed-use developments and amenities coming to the area, including residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Have you been keeping an eye on any other new developments in Houston? Would you consider moving to a growing area like this?

That’s a valid concern! School ratings can definitely vary by neighborhood. Have you looked into specific areas where the schools are rated higher?

Sounds like you’re missing out on all the exciting changes in Houston! Houston has some unique developments that Dallas might not have yet. Are you thinking about relocating here to check out spots like The Bend or maybe explore other areas? There’s definitely a lot to offer in terms of growth and lifestyle!

That’s a good question! Rent prices can vary depending on the neighborhood and the home's features, but for a home priced around $300K in Houston, you could expect to see rent anywhere between $2,000 and $2,800 per month on average. It can go higher or lower based on location, size, and upgrades. Are you considering renting or buying in Houston? I can help you narrow down some options if you’re looking for specific neighborhoods!

@jotttis8680 Trust me... It's great living here in TX. I moved here from NJ 8 years ago to escape the high cost of living of the NYC Metro area. TX cost of living is on par to what our parents' cost of living was to them in the 80's/90's! Turnoffs in TX are the high property tax rates, construction everywhere (everyone is moving here from the coastal states), and the extreme triple digit Fahrenheit heat we're experiencing now in July. If I were to pick what TX can change to make it on par with Florida's cost of living, it's to lower TX's property tax rates.

Probably not. That’s how they get people with these videos. The model homes always have tons of upgrades that aren’t included in the base price. Once you add in the bs upgrades it’s way more than 300k.
Hello from Texas to Australia! 😊 Yes, in areas like Houston and surrounding suburbs, homes in the $300K range typically **do** include land. In fact, you could often get a sizable lot in newer developments or suburban neighborhoods for that price. Of course, the size of the land can vary depending on the area. In more urban areas, like downtown Houston, $300K might get you a smaller lot or a townhouse, but in suburban areas like Cypress, Montgomery, or Conroe, you can often get more space-sometimes with a larger backyard or even extra room between neighbors! Are you interested in a specific area or type of home? We can help you find out what’s available within your budget!
Thanks for pointing that out! We definitely want to give you a fuller look at the home, not just focus on one feature like the ceiling height. Were there any specific rooms or features you were hoping to see more of? Let us know what you're looking for, and we can make sure to highlight those details in future tours!
You’re not alone in thinking about taxes! Property taxes in Houston can be higher than in some other areas, but it really depends on the neighborhood. Some areas have lower tax rates, while others might be higher to fund local amenities or schools. Are you looking at a particular area, or just trying to get a sense of what to expect tax-wise? I can break it down for specific neighborhoods if you'd like!
This is a lie, I guarantee you that model home, as equipped, is not $300K. For $300K you are probably getting super cheap looking inside, no crown molding, recessed simple lighting only, carpet, no blinds, etc. Its like when they show you a $50K top trim car and say it (coughcoughstartsatcoughcough) $30K.
I get where you're coming from-it can be frustrating when what you see in a model home doesn’t match up with the base price. The $300K price usually reflects the base model, and upgrades like crown molding, high-end finishes, or premium flooring can definitely push the price higher. Have you come across homes with specific upgrades you’re interested in? I’d love to help break down what you can typically expect in that price range in Houston!

Tornadoes are definitely something to consider in Texas, especially in areas further north and east of Houston, where tornado activity is more common. However, Houston and the surrounding areas aren't typically hit by tornadoes as frequently as places like Tornado Alley, but it's still important to be aware of the risks, especially during peak storm seasons (typically spring and early summer). As for **construction materials**, many new homes in the Houston area are built with **brick or brick veneer** exteriors, which offer better protection against wind and debris compared to traditional wood framing. Some homes are built with **wood framing** (also known as "stick-built" homes), but these are often reinforced with better wind-resistant features, especially in more recent construction. Builders are aware of the severe weather risks and often incorporate design elements to mitigate wind damage, like: - **Impact-resistant windows** - **Stronger roof materials and tie-downs** - **Upgraded framing for wind resistance** While no home is entirely tornado-proof, homes with brick exteriors tend to perform better in strong winds. Additionally, it’s worth considering homes that have **safe rooms** or **storm shelters** built into the design or added as an option, especially if you want extra peace of mind. Are you specifically interested in brick homes, or are you more concerned with safety features during storm season? Let me know, and I can help narrow down options for you!
Flooding is definitely a concern in many parts of Houston and surrounding areas, but it really depends on the specific location. Some neighborhoods are more prone to flooding, especially if they’re in lower-lying areas or close to rivers and bayous. However, newer developments and master-planned communities like the ones you mentioned (Verona, Savoy, Asbhy, Stelvio) are usually designed with better drainage systems, and many are built with elevated foundations to reduce the risk of flood damage. It’s always a good idea to check the FEMA flood maps and talk to the builder or real estate agent about flood zones before making a decision. If you’re looking at specific neighborhoods or homes, I can help with more detailed info on flood risks in those areas. Are you particularly concerned about flooding in a certain location, or just exploring the general risk in the region?
If you're looking for a top-notch golf cart or green bolt, there are a few places in Houston you might want to check out. Dealers like *Houston Golf Carts* or *Golf Cart King* have some high-quality options. You could also try *Greenway Golf Cars* for electric carts that have some great features. Are you planning on using it for a community like Balmoral, or is there a particular area you're thinking of cruising around in?
Thanks for watching! That’s a great point-some areas can get pretty busy, especially with families moving in. Are you more interested in quieter neighborhoods, or is there a specific type of vibe you're hoping to find in Houston? 😊
Great question! In Houston, for homes around the $300K mark, the garage is typically either attached or in some cases, a detached structure. It really depends on the neighborhood and style of home. Some models might have smaller garages, or the layout might include additional living space instead. Were you expecting a certain type of garage setup? Happy to help dive into some options in that price range!

There is a garage. The house is currently a model home and the garage area is being used as the sales offices. Once the community is sold out, the offices will be converted back to a 2 car garage.
That’s an interesting point! The narrow lot style is pretty common in some parts of Houston, especially in areas with limited space. What do you think about the design trend, though? Have you seen any homes here that stand out to you in terms of quality or layout?
You’re absolutely right to be cautious when buying a new home-whether it’s in Houston or anywhere else. There are a lot of factors to consider, especially with things like flood risk, construction quality, neighborhood development, and long-term value. Here are some things to keep in mind when purchasing a new home: 1. **Flood Risk**: As we’ve discussed, checking the FEMA flood maps and asking about flood zone status can be key, especially in areas prone to storms or heavy rain. 2. **Builder Reputation**: Researching the builder’s history, customer reviews, and warranty offerings can help ensure that you’re getting a quality home that will last. 3. **HOA Rules and Fees**: Some new communities have HOAs with rules or fees that might not align with your lifestyle. It’s worth checking out before committing. 4. **Long-Term Value**: Consider how the area is developing and whether it’s expected to grow or change in the next few years. Make sure it fits your future plans. 5. **Inspection**: Even with new construction, always get a home inspection! Sometimes small issues can slip through the cracks that might turn into bigger problems later. Would you like tips on how to assess specific homes or areas, or need help with a home inspection checklist? Let me know!

Do you show more than just the "master plan" houses that you keep mentioning? I thought of contacting you for your services, but "Master Plan" houses are not my interest.
Great question! We definitely showcase more than just "master plan" homes. There are plenty of unique, custom homes, smaller communities, and even some hidden gems that might be more along the lines of what you're looking for. What kind of home or neighborhood are you more interested in? I'd love to show you some options that fit your style better!

How it is possible to sell a house for that much? It cost $1 million to just build a house like that in Vancouver. The labour would be about 300k and government fees would be $150k. Cost to build in Vancouver is $250 per sq ft.
Yes labor is cheaper, they still have the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour in Texas while in CA it's going up to $20 an hour for fast food workers.@@mmmd3429
That’s a great point! The cost to build a home can vary a lot depending on location. In Houston, land is generally more affordable than in places like Vancouver, which helps keep the price of homes lower. Labor and construction costs can also be a bit more budget-friendly here. It's crazy to think about the price differences in different regions! Have you looked into how construction costs compare in other Texas cities? I'd love to dive deeper into the differences if you’re curious!
I hear you! Housing prices in New Jersey, especially in more desirable areas, can be pretty steep. It’s definitely a different market compared to places like Texas, where you might get a lot more for your money in terms of square footage and amenities-especially in the $300K range. In Houston and surrounding areas, $300K can go a long way, and you could find a newer home with more space, even in master-planned communities! If you’re thinking about relocating, there are definitely more affordable options here, whether you're looking for a ranch-style home, a townhouse, or a spacious new build. If you're considering a move, we can help you explore specific areas in Houston or nearby suburbs where your budget could go farther. Are you looking for a specific type of home or just curious about how much further your budget can stretch in Texas?
Haha, you’re right! Houston’s humidity does bring out the mosquitoes, especially during the warmer months. But there are definitely ways to keep them at bay-some neighborhoods even offer mosquito control programs. Do you have any strategies for handling them, or would you like some tips on how to keep your yard mosquito-free? Let me know if you’re curious about that!
Haha, I love it! My bad on the pronunciation-definitely don’t want to disrespect such an iconic name. 😅 How would you pronounce it correctly? Maybe we can use your version next time to make sure we get it right! I’m always up for learning a thing or two from those who know it best.
Thanks for the feedback! We want to make sure we give you the full picture, so we’ll definitely work on showing more of each room. Are there specific areas of the home you’d like to see more of during the walk-throughs? Or maybe you prefer a slower, more detailed tour? Let us know what you think!
Baytown has a mix of pros and cons, like many areas. It’s known for being a bit more affordable compared to central Houston, and it offers a quieter, suburban feel. That said, some areas in Baytown can be more industrial, and it might not have as many amenities or entertainment options as other neighborhoods closer to the city. Are you considering Baytown, or just wondering if it's a good fit for you? I'd be happy to give more insight into specific areas or even recommend other nearby spots!
I hear you! It can be frustrating when neighborhoods feel too car-dependent, especially if you’re looking for walkability or more public transit options. There are definitely some areas in Houston that offer more pedestrian-friendly environments or have better access to parks and public spaces. Are you open to exploring neighborhoods with better walkability or looking for alternatives to car-centric living? I'd be happy to share some recommendations!
That's an interesting observation! It can definitely feel like some homes in Houston are more affordable compared to other cities, but the materials can vary a lot depending on the neighborhood and the builder. Have you looked into specific areas or types of homes? Some neighborhoods have newer builds with higher-end finishes too. Would love to know what you're looking for in a home!
I get it, HOAs can be a deal-breaker for some people! Have you had any bad experiences with HOAs in the past, or are you just not a fan of the rules they tend to enforce? Some neighborhoods in Houston don’t have them-would you be interested in hearing about those options?
I hear you, and I respect your stance! It's really important to feel comfortable and supported in the community you live in. If you’re ever looking for a place that aligns more with your values, I can help you explore areas that are more inclusive and welcoming. There are plenty of neighborhoods in Houston that foster diversity and inclusivity-if that’s something that matters to you, I’d be happy to share some options! Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper into that!

What’s absolutely wild is that house doesn’t cost that much more than my 40 year old condo in Washington :( and that house is stunning
Wait until after hurricane season, next flood, or freeze. Houston is insanely overrated. Big house because you're stuck in it for 9 months out of the year.
Visited Houston? It's a overpopulated ugly flat humid soul sucking place only benefit cheap
Damn it's even cheaper than my 4 bedrooms flat in warsaw .
Wow, that’s crazy, right? It’s wild how much more space and modern features you can get in Houston for the price. What kind of amenities are you looking for in your next home? Houston definitely offers a lot of options depending on your needs!
@ gas stove, some place safe for a family, office space (I work from home), 3 bedroom 2 bath minimum, fenced in yard. My uncle pointed me to you guys. Iirc, you helped him out somehow moving to the Magnolia area 😃 hoping to visit Texas for the first time this year
I visited a friend out here. The subdivision is really nice!

HOUSTON TEXAS - THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE 🎉
Absolutely! Houston really does have a lot to offer - from diverse neighborhoods to amazing food and cultural scenes. What’s your favorite thing about Houston? Is it the city’s growth, the job opportunities, or something else that makes it stand out for you?
Outstanding properties. I’m wondering what are investors opportunities and what is the solar panels and batteries possibilities?
Thank you! Glad you like the properties! 🌟
When it comes to **investment opportunities**, Houston and its surrounding areas offer some great options. The market is diverse, and with the city’s growth, there are opportunities in both **residential and commercial real estate**. Here are some key opportunities for investors:
1. **Rental Properties**: With Houston’s strong rental demand, especially near major employment centers, universities, and new developments, rental properties can provide steady income.
2. **Flipping Homes**: Areas undergoing revitalization or new construction can be great spots for flipping homes, especially if you can find homes in need of renovation at a good price.
3. **Land Investment**: With new developments and communities popping up, buying land for future construction or subdivision is another strong investment avenue.
As for **solar panels and batteries**, Texas has a rapidly growing interest in sustainable energy, and it’s a great place to explore those options due to the sunny climate. Many new homes are being built with **solar panel installation options** or are already **solar-ready**. Additionally, some builders offer the ability to add **solar batteries** like Tesla Powerwalls to store energy, making homes more energy-efficient and reducing utility bills.
If you’re an investor interested in adding solar features to rental properties or flipping homes with these eco-friendly upgrades, it could be a great selling point. Plus, the long-term savings on energy costs make it appealing to buyers.
Would you like more detailed info on either investment strategies or solar panel options? We can dive into specific areas or builders offering those features! 😊
What about the weather conditions, do these homes come with hurricane or tornado protection
Can't really protect against an F5 tornado. And I heard the water table is high so no basement. And flooding could be an issue.
Great question! In Houston, hurricanes and tornadoes are something to be mindful of, especially during the storm season. Most homes here are built with hurricane-resistant features, like reinforced windows and roofs. Some homes also have storm shutters or other protective upgrades. Are you thinking about moving to a specific area of Houston, or just curious about the general safety measures? We can dive deeper into storm prep for different neighborhoods!
@ kind of thinking of it all I’ve heard Houston is the main area people go to but I’m open to exploring other parts of Texas as well
When I seen the utility room on the second floor I screamed 😂
Haha, I get it! Utility rooms on the second floor definitely catch people off guard. It's a pretty unique layout that you don’t see everywhere. Some people love it for convenience, while others find it odd. Would you prefer the utility room to be on the first floor, or are there other features in the home that you’re more focused on? I'd love to hear what you're looking for in a layout!
beautiful
Glad you think so! What part of the video or area did you find the most beautiful? We’d love to know what caught your eye! 😊
Does balmoral have awesome bike and walking trails throughout the community
Yes! Balmoral has some really great bike and walking trails that are perfect for outdoor lovers. The community is designed with that in mind, offering scenic paths throughout, along with the beautiful Crystal Clear Lagoon for a bit of a tropical feel. Are you a big fan of outdoor activities like biking and walking? What’s your ideal neighborhood vibe when it comes to outdoor spaces?
What's up with this video?
I can tell you have gotten better. Lmao. Completely ignored the front when getting into the house.
This looks like a bargain, but absurdly high property taxes makes Texas a nonstarter for this home buyer. Can people looking for homes at this price point really justify throwing away an extra $400-700 a month for nothing they can hold in their hand? Sorry, but this retiree says FU to roads and schools. Texans really need to initiate a Prop 13 revolution. High property taxes that increase every year, making administrators and bureaucrats rich. It's getting out of hand and needs to stop.
Amen
Don't forget the utility bills. That AC will hum for 9 months out of the year.
But you dont have income tax mate?
@@NyashaM No free lunch. The state and feds get those taxes. The state just dolls it up differently.
@@mmmd3429 could you explain it properly, say I'm not a home owner, how do you get taxed by the federal government
Space between me and the neighbors!!!
Ah, so you're looking for more space and privacy! That’s totally understandable. Houston has some great neighborhoods with larger lots and more distance between homes. What kind of neighborhood are you thinking about-suburban or something closer to the city? 😊
I agree the house is stunning and not too dear for the average person to buy, (does the house include the lot the grounds that the house stands on?).
You most likely have to pay for an HOA. If you don’t pay it they can take your house away. That’s on top of the taxes.
I wonder if the HOA will pay for your roof after the warranty?@@MsIlovemusic07
Great question! In most cases, when you buy a house, the lot it sits on is included in the sale, but there are exceptions depending on the type of property. For example, some properties in Houston might be on leased land or have different ownership structures. Have you seen any properties like that? Would you like more info on how land ownership works here?
I have not heard the HOA cost....

Is generation park developing the wave surf park or another development what’s the name of the new development erea for this surf resort and amenities thanks
That’s called Generation Park
Great question! The Wave Surf Park is actually part of the larger "Generation Park" development in Northeast Houston. The surf park is a big part of the plan, but there are also other mixed-use developments and amenities coming to the area, including residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Have you been keeping an eye on any other new developments in Houston? Would you consider moving to a growing area like this?

but the schools around here is very lowly rated though...
Kids are overrated 😊
That’s a valid concern! School ratings can definitely vary by neighborhood. Have you looked into specific areas where the schools are rated higher? There are some neighborhoods in Houston with great schools, but it really depends on where you're considering. Do you have certain schools or districts in mind?

Can’t find this in Dallas 😢
Dallas is nicer.
Sounds like you’re missing out on all the exciting changes in Houston! Houston has some unique developments that Dallas might not have yet. Are you thinking about relocating here to check out spots like The Bend or maybe explore other areas? There’s definitely a lot to offer in terms of growth and lifestyle!
What’s the name of this Comunnity and how close is that to the grand Pkwy north Houston

Any chance you can do a “What you can get for $700,000-$1M” video for houses and land around the area that you do videos for?
Love it! And you can get ALOT!
dude must be from California.
@@avonti001that home is easily that price range on the west coast. It’s unattainable for the middle class
@@avonti001Tell me you make low wages without telling me 🤣
Homes in Dallas are $450,000 and up man over $600,000
How much do you think one of them would rent for on average?
That’s a good question! Rent prices can vary depending on the neighborhood and the home's features, but for a home priced around $300K in Houston, you could expect to see rent anywhere between $2,000 and $2,800 per month on average. It can go higher or lower based on location, size, and upgrades. Are you considering renting or buying in Houston? I can help you narrow down some options if you’re looking for specific neighborhoods!

So I could get 5 houses in Texas for the price of 1 in Canada? What’s the catch?
Utilities
Utilities (unless you get solar) and PROPERTY TAXES. Texas is Top 5 most expensive states in property taxes in the U.S.
Also texas has a huge infrastructure problem-- that and property taxes is a turn off!!!
@@JaYvInJB if that’s the only things then I may as well pack my bags now!
@jotttis8680 Trust me... It's great living here in TX. I moved here from NJ 8 years ago to escape the high cost of living of the NYC Metro area. TX cost of living is on par to what our parents' cost of living was to them in the 80's/90's! Turnoffs in TX are the high property tax rates, construction everywhere (everyone is moving here from the coastal states), and the extreme triple digit Fahrenheit heat we're experiencing now in July. If I were to pick what TX can change to make it on par with Florida's cost of living, it's to lower TX's property tax rates.
Please send me the info
I am interested
Do we the builder offer seller financing?

Hi from Australia does it include land at that price thanks
Probably not. That’s how they get people with these videos. The model homes always have tons of upgrades that aren’t included in the base price. Once you add in the bs upgrades it’s way more than 300k.
Hello from Texas to Australia! 😊 Yes, in areas like Houston and surrounding suburbs, homes in the $300K range typically **do** include land. In fact, you could often get a sizable lot in newer developments or suburban neighborhoods for that price.
Of course, the size of the land can vary depending on the area. In more urban areas, like downtown Houston, $300K might get you a smaller lot or a townhouse, but in suburban areas like Cypress, Montgomery, or Conroe, you can often get more space-sometimes with a larger backyard or even extra room between neighbors!
Are you interested in a specific area or type of home? We can help you find out what’s available within your budget!
Didn't actually see anything but the height of the ceiling in the last home
Thanks for pointing that out! We definitely want to give you a fuller look at the home, not just focus on one feature like the ceiling height. Were there any specific rooms or features you were hoping to see more of? Let us know what you're looking for, and we can make sure to highlight those details in future tours!
Taxes are probably crazy though
You’re not alone in thinking about taxes! Property taxes in Houston can be higher than in some other areas, but it really depends on the neighborhood. Some areas have lower tax rates, while others might be higher to fund local amenities or schools. Are you looking at a particular area, or just trying to get a sense of what to expect tax-wise? I can break it down for specific neighborhoods if you'd like!
Yea...but is there a garage or driveway?
Yes they all do just not the show homes
Texans will stuff that garage full of everything they don't need nor use.
This is a lie, I guarantee you that model home, as equipped, is not $300K. For $300K you are probably getting super cheap looking inside, no crown molding, recessed simple lighting only, carpet, no blinds, etc. Its like when they show you a $50K top trim car and say it (coughcoughstartsatcoughcough) $30K.
True I want to move to Houston but can’t do the floods and storms
I get where you're coming from-it can be frustrating when what you see in a model home doesn’t match up with the base price. The $300K price usually reflects the base model, and upgrades like crown molding, high-end finishes, or premium flooring can definitely push the price higher. Have you come across homes with specific upgrades you’re interested in? I’d love to help break down what you can typically expect in that price range in Houston!
Could I get a 2 bedroom and 2 1/2 house in this neighborhood

What about tornadoes? Are these home all brick or sticks?
Tornadoes are definitely something to consider in Texas, especially in areas further north and east of Houston, where tornado activity is more common. However, Houston and the surrounding areas aren't typically hit by tornadoes as frequently as places like Tornado Alley, but it's still important to be aware of the risks, especially during peak storm seasons (typically spring and early summer).
As for **construction materials**, many new homes in the Houston area are built with **brick or brick veneer** exteriors, which offer better protection against wind and debris compared to traditional wood framing. Some homes are built with **wood framing** (also known as "stick-built" homes), but these are often reinforced with better wind-resistant features, especially in more recent construction.
Builders are aware of the severe weather risks and often incorporate design elements to mitigate wind damage, like:
- **Impact-resistant windows**
- **Stronger roof materials and tie-downs**
- **Upgraded framing for wind resistance**
While no home is entirely tornado-proof, homes with brick exteriors tend to perform better in strong winds. Additionally, it’s worth considering homes that have **safe rooms** or **storm shelters** built into the design or added as an option, especially if you want extra peace of mind.
Are you specifically interested in brick homes, or are you more concerned with safety features during storm season? Let me know, and I can help narrow down options for you!
Maybe the risk for flooding is high?
Flooding is definitely a concern in many parts of Houston and surrounding areas, but it really depends on the specific location. Some neighborhoods are more prone to flooding, especially if they’re in lower-lying areas or close to rivers and bayous. However, newer developments and master-planned communities like the ones you mentioned (Verona, Savoy, Asbhy, Stelvio) are usually designed with better drainage systems, and many are built with elevated foundations to reduce the risk of flood damage.
It’s always a good idea to check the FEMA flood maps and talk to the builder or real estate agent about flood zones before making a decision. If you’re looking at specific neighborhoods or homes, I can help with more detailed info on flood risks in those areas.
Are you particularly concerned about flooding in a certain location, or just exploring the general risk in the region?
Where can I get a top notch golf cart or green bolt
If you're looking for a top-notch golf cart or green bolt, there are a few places in Houston you might want to check out. Dealers like *Houston Golf Carts* or *Golf Cart King* have some high-quality options. You could also try *Greenway Golf Cars* for electric carts that have some great features. Are you planning on using it for a community like Balmoral, or is there a particular area you're thinking of cruising around in?
Great video but I think that area is going to be too crowded and too many kids!!! Good day.
Thanks for watching! That’s a great point-some areas can get pretty busy, especially with families moving in. Are you more interested in quieter neighborhoods, or is there a specific type of vibe you're hoping to find in Houston? 😊
Where is the garage in the 300k house?
Great question! In Houston, for homes around the $300K mark, the garage is typically either attached or in some cases, a detached structure. It really depends on the neighborhood and style of home. Some models might have smaller garages, or the layout might include additional living space instead. Were you expecting a certain type of garage setup? Happy to help dive into some options in that price range!
But who was the builder?

No Garage. That's crazy to me. Houses r on a narrow lot which makes them all narrow & deep. All on slabs. They look ultra cheap built to me.
For 300k in 2023, a brand new home in a new comunity. There shouldnt be much to complain about
There is a garage. The house is currently a model home and the garage area is being used as the sales offices. Once the community is sold out, the offices will be converted back to a 2 car garage.
@@uneyedentified2017imagine a Texan dropping $300k~ on a house and told not to complain. The wages and low quality of life are sad.
That’s an interesting point! The narrow lot style is pretty common in some parts of Houston, especially in areas with limited space. What do you think about the design trend, though? Have you seen any homes here that stand out to you in terms of quality or layout?
serious caution on buying a new home. anywhere
You’re absolutely right to be cautious when buying a new home-whether it’s in Houston or anywhere else. There are a lot of factors to consider, especially with things like flood risk, construction quality, neighborhood development, and long-term value. Here are some things to keep in mind when purchasing a new home:
1. **Flood Risk**: As we’ve discussed, checking the FEMA flood maps and asking about flood zone status can be key, especially in areas prone to storms or heavy rain.
2. **Builder Reputation**: Researching the builder’s history, customer reviews, and warranty offerings can help ensure that you’re getting a quality home that will last.
3. **HOA Rules and Fees**: Some new communities have HOAs with rules or fees that might not align with your lifestyle. It’s worth checking out before committing.
4. **Long-Term Value**: Consider how the area is developing and whether it’s expected to grow or change in the next few years. Make sure it fits your future plans.
5. **Inspection**: Even with new construction, always get a home inspection! Sometimes small issues can slip through the cracks that might turn into bigger problems later.
Would you like tips on how to assess specific homes or areas, or need help with a home inspection checklist? Let me know!

Do you show more than just the "master plan" houses that you keep mentioning? I thought of contacting you for your services, but "Master Plan" houses are not my interest.
Great question! We definitely showcase more than just "master plan" homes. There are plenty of unique, custom homes, smaller communities, and even some hidden gems that might be more along the lines of what you're looking for. What kind of home or neighborhood are you more interested in? I'd love to show you some options that fit your style better!

How it is possible to sell a house for that much? It cost $1 million to just build a house like that in Vancouver. The labour would be about 300k and government fees would be $150k. Cost to build in Vancouver is $250 per sq ft.
Cheap labor and it is in Texas.
Yes there are $200k new homes here
Yes labor is cheaper, they still have the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour in Texas while in CA it's going up to $20 an hour for fast food workers.@@mmmd3429
That’s a great point! The cost to build a home can vary a lot depending on location. In Houston, land is generally more affordable than in places like Vancouver, which helps keep the price of homes lower. Labor and construction costs can also be a bit more budget-friendly here. It's crazy to think about the price differences in different regions! Have you looked into how construction costs compare in other Texas cities? I'd love to dive deeper into the differences if you’re curious!
In Jersey you can’t get a 50 year old 3 bedroom ranch for 300😩😩😩
I hear you! Housing prices in New Jersey, especially in more desirable areas, can be pretty steep. It’s definitely a different market compared to places like Texas, where you might get a lot more for your money in terms of square footage and amenities-especially in the $300K range.
In Houston and surrounding areas, $300K can go a long way, and you could find a newer home with more space, even in master-planned communities! If you’re thinking about relocating, there are definitely more affordable options here, whether you're looking for a ranch-style home, a townhouse, or a spacious new build.
If you're considering a move, we can help you explore specific areas in Houston or nearby suburbs where your budget could go farther. Are you looking for a specific type of home or just curious about how much further your budget can stretch in Texas?
Mosquitos can eat you up!
Haha, you’re right! Houston’s humidity does bring out the mosquitoes, especially during the warmer months. But there are definitely ways to keep them at bay-some neighborhoods even offer mosquito control programs. Do you have any strategies for handling them, or would you like some tips on how to keep your yard mosquito-free? Let me know if you’re curious about that!
Brother, I’m Scottish and you and Jojo are mispronouncing Balmoral. Your killing me.
Haha, I love it! My bad on the pronunciation-definitely don’t want to disrespect such an iconic name. 😅 How would you pronounce it correctly? Maybe we can use your version next time to make sure we get it right! I’m always up for learning a thing or two from those who know it best.
Rapid walk-thru with rooms skipped, or barely shown.
Thanks for the feedback! We want to make sure we give you the full picture, so we’ll definitely work on showing more of each room. Are there specific areas of the home you’d like to see more of during the walk-throughs? Or maybe you prefer a slower, more detailed tour? Let us know what you think!
What about Baytown it's not good area to live?
Baytown has a mix of pros and cons, like many areas. It’s known for being a bit more affordable compared to central Houston, and it offers a quieter, suburban feel. That said, some areas in Baytown can be more industrial, and it might not have as many amenities or entertainment options as other neighborhoods closer to the city. Are you considering Baytown, or just wondering if it's a good fit for you? I'd be happy to give more insight into specific areas or even recommend other nearby spots!
The first one it’s ugly…
Looks like you're not a fan of the first house! What specifically didn’t you like about it? We’re always looking for feedback to improve! 😊
All car centric communities. Not good.
I hear you! It can be frustrating when neighborhoods feel too car-dependent, especially if you’re looking for walkability or more public transit options. There are definitely some areas in Houston that offer more pedestrian-friendly environments or have better access to parks and public spaces. Are you open to exploring neighborhoods with better walkability or looking for alternatives to car-centric living? I'd be happy to share some recommendations!
Houses look cheap, low grade materials
Yep.
That's an interesting observation! It can definitely feel like some homes in Houston are more affordable compared to other cities, but the materials can vary a lot depending on the neighborhood and the builder. Have you looked into specific areas or types of homes? Some neighborhoods have newer builds with higher-end finishes too. Would love to know what you're looking for in a home!
HOA. Hell no
I get it, HOAs can be a deal-breaker for some people! Have you had any bad experiences with HOAs in the past, or are you just not a fan of the rules they tend to enforce? Some neighborhoods in Houston don’t have them-would you be interested in hearing about those options?
Naw I’m good! Not living in a state that has issues with lgbtq rights. They could give away for free and I’d say nope!
There are plenty of LGBTQ folks in Houston... They have multiple communities, they just don't force themselves all over the place..
the major cities in Texas are open minded, it's the rednecks in podunk Texas that are racist bigots.
I hear you, and I respect your stance! It's really important to feel comfortable and supported in the community you live in. If you’re ever looking for a place that aligns more with your values, I can help you explore areas that are more inclusive and welcoming. There are plenty of neighborhoods in Houston that foster diversity and inclusivity-if that’s something that matters to you, I’d be happy to share some options! Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper into that!
