Here's a clue , national builders never have the intention of building quality ANYTHING. There is an easy fix , no further building until previous builds are repaired and approved by the buyer.
But how would the city employee(s) who approve these permits get paid? 😉
@@t.g.7180 There would still be the same amount of construction because that's how builders make their money but then they would do it responsibility with the buyer's interest up front !
You just know people in local governments are getting paid off one way or another.
We bought a Meritage home in Rancho El Dorado.... nothing but problems, damage, and shoddy construction. Meritage sucks.... you've been warned!
Bought a home in homestead, all the people working here were one or two men subcontracting companies. None of the them showed up on official vehicle. I do not even think the were even license. The worst was the landscaper.
Illegals
Here’s an example, the job requires 20 bags of cement, workers go we can just use 18 and keep the two extra bags, and they have virtually no supervision
This has been an issue for years. A friend of ours had a pipe burst in her home in 2018.
3 Words: “Master” planned communities
Built by none other that greedy people who care more about profit then home safety and longevity.
Socialist revolution...yah baby!
I call these overpriced new homes Plywood Mansions, because they are basically built out of plywood and aren't meant to last , not to mention skill & craftsmanship have sort of died off.
Not even plywood.... flakeboard and pvc
Plywood lol. I would love to have plywood on my roof, walls, and floors. Houses in Arizona are built with OSB on the roof and floors and nothing but foam and stucco for exterior walls. No sheathing.
Actually styrofoam held in place with chicken wire behind drywall.
I think they kinda just moved out of Arizona. Or never been in the first place.
Still building swimming pools, I notice, as the desert water problems increase.........
Duh it's hot lol
After the crash of 2008 so many skilled craftsmen were out of work and then retired, without getting to share their knowledge with the new workers to teach to. There are few skilled workers left.
Big part of the problem
no problem is 80% of work force is from south america.... and all the fixtures and hardware is from china............people are being pushed to hurry hurry hurry ... "how many nails did you put in that board uh, three, that's two too many,,,, hurry hurry hurry".....................................
Best bet is buy an older proven home.
WHERE IS THE BUILDING INSPECTOR?
doing " drive buy inspections"..............
Wow. Historically, DR Horton had been known as a quality builder. So sad.
The problem with new homes in Phx metro is poor insulation, so your A/C runs 24/7 in the summer, the homes will not hold the cold air in- escapes through glass doors, etc in other words- pourous areas; the homes do not "seal"; same as heating in the winter!!! You have to build a "custom" home here to get good construction- expensive!!!
In the 1960s we were envisioning living in house built in the 2000s
In the 2000s we're envisioning license in a house built in the 60s.
So funny and crazy!
The quality sucks, my buddy has a house from the 1950s that is more solid than my parent's 2005 house, and modern new houses built in 2018-present have the appearance of being built better but start falling apart even faster.
They call those new homes, cookie cutter homes
You are just figuring this out? These stuccoed chicken coups have always been trash.
Everyone here is a self-proclaimed builder and you can practically get a contractors license at a drive thru.
I haven't read any good things about DR Horton, or most big subdivision builders for that matter. I wish people would read reviews and complaints for these builders before buying. They build these homes so quickly with cheap materials and methods.... put some trendy PVC details on the front and a trendy open kitchen with 3 pendant lamps and people are like wow... I want it!
This is not something new. This has been happening since the 80's but it got terribly bad in the mid 90's when housing market took off like a rocket.
No water. 😮
It's hot potatoe. Get it, sell it. Someone else's problem. Thank you. 🎉😅😢.
A house of sticks and paper 😂cheap materials. Remember the three little piggys . What 😳 do you expect from this? A bricks and strong foundation and strong roofing its a most. Like the old days 😊
Doesn’t surprise me with all the bob the builders we got
It is a pity, but you really do need to research these manufactured housing developments. I'm glad Phoenix put a stop to so many of them.
Its like the fast fashion of construction.
lady count your blessings fr fr at least you are not homeless and living on the street in a tent.
I’d bet $$ that the construction workers hired via the housing developers; most of them have an 8th. Grade education equivalent. Ergo the problem.
they're not even american more than likely.
Maybe they should fire the people who hired them ? Genius
@@zoot6581 no Americans pick fruits or vegetables. I dont see you guys crying when there's fresh fruits and veggies at the grocery stores hypocrites.
@@qvo4195 you don't even know who you're standing up for. Ok, let them pick fruits and veggies. Don't let them scam Americans via masquerading as a construction company and cheaply building houses to pocket resource costs. are you dense?
illegal s
Guessing this is DR Horton, they have a reputation for poor quality, and its nationwide, use to live in Goodyear, now we are south of Atlanta-moved to family health issue, but DR has a bad rep here also
These homes are built in the same quality as an apartment complex. I do not know why people think buying a house that is identical to their neighbors would be of quality.
This doesn't have to do with the houses but those brick walls around the house are completely hollow there is so cement and very little rebar holding it up you could literally push your own backyard wall over 😂 love Maricopa lived there since 2008 off and on
Most of them are sinking now in the older homes and are a costly repair. Party walls are a pain to deal with to get everyone to pay their portion
Pro tip: avoid Arizona.
Agree! I live here and want to leave. A few more years. Avoid Phoenix, Goodyear, Avondale, Maricopa County. Just bad businesses here. This is the place to come if you’re a shady business person.
Pulled out of my new home build with Richmond in Maricopa in Dec-2022. I could not believe how bad the workmanship was and the lack of concern by the superintendent, nope, new home build's are garbage sadly.
Who are the city and state inspectors who sign off on this shoddy construction? They should be jailed
Of course, D.R. Horton isn't the only national homebuilder building garbage and charging a fortune for it. There are others. But as long as they can trick people into buying, they'll continue. We believe in small government, remember? We believe that government is the problem, remember? We believe that regulation stifles growth, remember? That's what we voted for, folks. That's what we ALWAYS vote for. If you don't want to be cheated, move!
We need smaller homes for new buyers for resonable prices. Apartments are not permanent housing or worth investing into.
Classic examples of self correcting free market capitalism. This is an example of why no one should trust companies to police themselves. Remember, building codes are minimum standards, least best and especially in tract homes, it's all about the low bidder, that includes not just the design, construction practices and materials used, it's also the cheapest labor. This all combines to create one of the worst overall scams in the US. All construction is a minimum standard, so is the after sale customer service. Unless people decide to regulate corporate greed, well, learn to deal with reality. Anyone in any aspect of the construction industry knows it's all a facade on the quality issue. Arizona is hardly alone on this subject. However, Arizona political mindsets will never actually address the issue. Enjoy your brand new overly priced investment......
Your opinion is stupid.
Sounds like bad foundation if its settling that much in under 5 years.
I remember when Maricopa was all orange groves. The orange groves were better. Maricopa is a textbook example of everything with endless slap-it-up, cookie cutter, urban sprawl.
OH, AND WHATS WITH THE HEART BEAT IN THE AUDIO STREAM -CHANNEL 12?
The builders can fix the homes who are broken walls and people could be fine
BEAZER! MR. BOB AND SIDE KICK JULIE!
That’s why I rent now my first time owning a home was a nightmare 😅
Really that’s why you rent lol broke broke
Imagine how many rehab houses in this picture runed by gunas
Greed
Hire an inspector. Quit playing victim
Why would you buy a crap house that's on the owner
The problem is rePublicans own too many home contractors, no accountability and after two years, you can't touch a contractor. The problem is greedy rePublicans!
You think this is only a Republican problem? Grow a brain ffs
😂😂
