      @@prosfromdover8860 it’s not about color. It’s about connection and representation.
      The same way a single mom can be proud of another single mom from accomplishing something major despite the odds
      Kudos to all the blue and green people that accomplished something major. Any decent human would be happy for them but watching someone of your culture do it hits differently and any decent human should understand that also.
      When the Asian American community showed pride/proud of Suni Lee for just winning the gold medal for Team USA, it’s not to say they wouldn’t have been happy with whomever won, but the fact that they share the same heritage is inspiring to their culture.

    My wife and I just purchased a new construction and those home upgrades add up quickly! We spent 60k in upgrades 😬 but it was cheaper to do it now vs trying to pay a contractor to demolish and install something different like tile ect. We also upgraded our appliances and insulation. The prices in Seattle are insane though I feel we could have got a ton more bang for buck and the house design is not exactly what we wanted but the location was the biggest draw for us vs design. My wife’s brother lives in the same neighborhood so was great to be neighbors long term. We spent 780k for a 3400sq ft farm house home, it’s 3 levels which we like but it doesn’t look that modern on the outside which is a downside for us.
    Our home will be finished in September so only a month or so left, we’re so excited!! 🙌🏽

    Great content. Just found you guys and now a new subscriber. I'm a numbers guy, so this type of content resonates. Beautiful home. Love the upgrades. We are building our fourth home. We've been under contract since June 21 and the lot grading is not yet complete. We are quite anxious to say the least. We thought our last home would our "forever home." We added a significant amount of upgrades to that home. When we sold it in 2021, though we sold for a great price, we only received pennies on the dollar for the upgrades. Accordingly when we contracted to build our current home we were somewhat reserved about upgrades. This builder didn't make it easy as they require 100% of the upgrades upfront. The upgrades you have shown have given us something to think about. Specifically the larger ceiling fan, floor outlets and larger cook top. Our builder requires an additional $450, per change order, per item, in addition to the cost of each item. Given how beautiful your home is, the upgrades may be worth the expense.

    • @MissieandAkeem
      @MissieandAkeem  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Michael that’s for subbing and for commenting. There is a delicate dance to adding upgrades that bring you value from a livability POV and other add value from an appraisal POV. It’s fought asking for that kinda cash up front.

    Our flooring upgrade cost us $25,000! It was a hard pill to swallow. We upgraded from carpet/tile to actual hardwood floors since our builder didn’t offer LVP. We ended up widening the planks and adding a distressed texture for an additional cost after that. Flooring ain’t cheap 😭.

      @MissieandAkeem  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The base price when we purchased was 515K. It was absolutely worth it. Aside from having a place for our family to live and grow that they can call their own....the base price has increased to almost 700K as of today. So we purchased at a perfect time.

    • @MissieandAkeem
      @MissieandAkeem  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@danaburks3091 in the beginning yes because I wasn’t sure how much the bronze would stand out against the black, like if it would be super noticeable. After being in our home 2 months now, you honestly can’t even tell. I feel like going with the super white walls really does help hide the fact that some hardware items in the house are bronze because of the drastic contrast.
