Just sharing you this, as Romans 6:23 says, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. God loves you so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay the price of all our sins. After 3 days after he died,he rose up from the dead. He will accept you not matter what you been through or have done. Accept the lord Jesus Christ as you lord and savior and ask forgiveness of all your sins to be saved from sin and have eternal life and not go to hell Jesus is our only hope for salvation and the if you don’t accept him you will not heaven and you will go to hell if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
1. The piece of furniture that you didn’t know the name is a dresser but it could also be considered a credenza. 2. These houses are too expensive , too small for the money and do not have enough amenities- no garage, those stackable w/d units can only handle a very small load at a time. We are buying a house that is 30 years old - it’s 5 bedrooms with a loft a two car garage for $275k. It has been inspected, it has real wood floors, foundation is great, new roof, great plumbing, electrical and it’s on a cul-de-sac and it has a large backyard. The only things that need changing is repainting two rooms. Plus this area floods. And with global climate change we are have 100 yr floods every 5 years.
@FoodNerds No 3rd bedroom either in all of these . No shade in summer cause no trees , the cheap A.C. is gonna die the first time it hits 100F. On top of that , no garage and those lame w/d units. This is so wrong on so many levels . I'm stunned.
If you are not from the Houston, Texas area and are considering moving here - word of advice: YOU CANNOT BUY A HOME IN HOUSTON OVER THE INTERNET OR SOME RANDOM TH-cam AD. As you probably know, Houston is incredibly flood-prone and EVERY home you consider must be evaluated for flooding probability. In fact, the area these homes are in (or very near here) are currently experiencing a major flooding event. You see in Houston, it is perfectly legal for a developer to build and sell you a home in the 100-year flood plain. You will need special flood insurance to occupy the home but moreover - we seem to have 100-year floods OFTEN! (the various counties are constantly updating their '100-year' maps). Furthermore, most of these homes in outlying areas are NOT in any city and typically require special water districts called 'MUD' districts to bring water/sewage/drainage to the home. These districts have their own taxing authority so you will pay 'MUD taxes' in addition to school and county taxes. Some MUD districts have very high taxes. The MUD taxes could go up if the district has flooding issues. If the MUD is not properly funded, your water bills could be to the moon! The bottom line is actual home price is only a small part of the house buying process in Houston. Start by picking the area where potential flooding issues are well handled (and of course you like) - then pick the home in that area. Don't be fooled by crap like this advertised via TH-cam. Buyer beware.
@timeforanap6836 Fun Fact: If you watch all the videos on this channel, you’ll actually see they cover every item you mentioned in great detail. I watch every Houston Real Estate TH-cam channel and are there bad ones out there? Definitely! You’ll often find me in the comments calling them out. However, doesn’t you oversimplifying an issue and leaving out details make you guilty of the very same thing your’e accusing them of?
@@hukilausurfer your comment is gold. I noticed Zero measures to mitigate flooding in this subdivision. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Also, it's Dr Horton. They are the absolute worst. No one should even consider buying this.
@@girlnextdoor7012Take that comment with a couple pounds of salt. I called them out for being wrong and havent gotten a reply😬. Everything that comment mentioned is covered in various videos + 0% of that community is in a flood zone. Best thing to do is find a great agent to represent you fairly who can provide much better insight that a fear-mongering youtube comment:)
That’s crazy. We bought our first house in 2017 in North Houston for $183k. It was 1800 sq ft, 4br with a 2-car garage. All appliances included. Had a gas stove and laundry closet for standard washer and dryer. Master bedroom was massive. Dual vanity, separate his/her closets. Same builder, too. Market is garbage now.
What is wrong with that, especially with these homeowners insurances, they do insurance property inspection now, so if there are a lots of trees, guess what higher rates or they refused to insure unless the trees are cut down......I got a non renewal for that, unless the trees near my home are cut down and the trees are on my neighbors property.....
Tree are hazardous in a hurricane prone region. But gravel and rocks are ok. 🙄 😂 They probably want to give the homeowners the opportunity to grow their own since it’s newly built.
Tiny homes. Tiny lots. No trees. Surrounded by woods. Made of matchsticks. Low quality appliances. Carpeted. Most people buying these lots are probably buying as investment properties to rent them out.
Our home better than this and needs work since its older home 😅. 80k ( bought 10 years ago (2013)) 1969 brick home 4 bed 2 bath, 2 car garage, pool, fenced yard, pantry, galley kitchen, living room and dining room, washer and dryer in the garage which was normal when it was built. Flooding yeah around us but we never flooded. Power went off if get decent generator and solar power probably be good. Need flush a toilet use pool water 😄. Yeah the first house is not worth shit. Most family homes need at least 3 bedrooms adding that open area is not a bedroom should be illegal.
@@YazetteIt's only worth what you think it's worth and if people keep buying overpriced homes, we'll never get out of this housing mess. This isn't worth what they think it is.
all those sold homes in this neighborhood unfortunately justifies there sales prices. it gets sold, then that price is recorded in county records.....supply and demand tells the story.
These houses look like they are made out of paper...those things on the cabinets in the kitchen look really thin and fragile. I truly believe this is starting to become the future, the pushing of low expectations
Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Houston Texas in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Annette Marie Holt for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Be careful buyers. HOA has made it impossible for home owners to keep up there home's without reckless fees and notice. After your 1st year the BS starts😢
Completely 100% this is how it is, they're roping them in like suckers so they can up it to $500 a month hoa in 4-5 years to recoupe the building cost.
As a native Texan avoid buying or renting property in Houston with poor drainage due to trash & debris in the inlets. Not to mention areas adjacent to bayou’s like north & S. braeswood. Lastly, avoid Houston “metropolitan areas” and/or “communities” adjacent to rivers, lakes (i.e. Lake Conroe), reservoirs etc. These are flood prone zones.
Buying a shed for the price you would've gotten for a 3 bedroom in 2014 is insane. Housing prospectors are artificially inflating prices to the detriment of first time buyers.
Idk why so many people are complaining. You all want that American dream your “boomer” grandparents had, yet fail to realize a ton of them had houses like this. My grandparents home was 750 sq feet, smaller than these. We have a city FULL of homes that were small like these that were all built in the 1940’s and 50’s. A 2000 sq foot home was never the standard, and if you grew up in one like I did, you were fortunate and are not a part of the majority. This is middle class living of the 50’s.
@@Whatisthis195 For me its not the size.... Im not getting married not having kids. Its the pricing of the market and now lenders are more strict with terms... but thats the time we live in.
When I was in College, I use to Share a room with 2 other students because I was poor. Now I am happy I have a roof over my head. Great Starter home and yes sure beats renting and making my landlord Rich.
mine has survived storms where i thought it was gonna lose part of the house. you can do way worse than dr horton! now they are starter homes, you gotta fix somethings up yourself. DUH
Watching videos like this makes me even more glad that I got a sweet deal for my house, outside of Houston in Richmond. 3 bed + game room, 2 and a half bath, big backyard in a quiet rural neighborhood for $140,000, 12 years ago financed with a very low interest rate of 3.875%! You can't find homes like this anymore, that's why I'm not moving any time soon :-)
My sister moved to Conroe, got a descent deal on a new build but they got flooded bad this week with the storm that passed by Houston. Also the school sucks and the kids miss school often bc the streets get flooded etc.
Kids definitely don’t miss school “often” for this, very infrequent that we get that much rain. Did her new build flood? I doubt she got water in her home
@@JM-kn9dh it was a question, I’d like them to respond letting us know if they got water in their home. It either happened or it didn’t, my bet is that they didn’t. New construction here is now typically built a a certain elevation that eliminates flood risk.
Yep, I grew up in Houston nearby and you got to get used to hurricanes and flooding and brutal humidity. That’s why it’s so cheap. And you’ll lose power often.
Love the affordable housing, but on that first home, legally they cannot call that loft space a bedroom. If they are calling it a bedroom while being appraised, then you're going to run into some issues later down the road when re-listing the house and selling it latter. I don't like housing developers that lie about living space. Just be honest. 2 bedroom with a loft.
@@livinginhtx How can you be a real estate agent -- or be in the home-selling business -- and NOT know the exact rules about what a bedroom is? Better look that up.
@@tonyzuco6144 Generally, a legal bedroom must have two forms of egress. Usually that means a door, and a window that you can reach, open, and escape through. That's why so many basement "bedrooms" are not legal bedrooms: the window (if there is one) is too small and too high off the floor. Many newer apartment blocks have two rooms big enough to be bedrooms, but they have to market the unit as a "one-bedroom with den" because the den room doesn't have a window.
YES!!! that's exactly her name (Mrs Patricia Vesely ) so many people have recommended highly about her and I'm just starting with her from United States'of America, Florida 🇺🇸
Why are you saying Houston? Conroe isn’t Houston. It’s city out side of Houston. If anyone is considering this location because your moving for work in Houston, just scratch it off your list. It will be hours to work everyday. Houston traffic is no joke and imagine living in a city you thought would be just out side and commute in but you find yourself driving 2 hours in and 2 ours out everyday. You’ll be miserable. Also that 207k house is an apartment with an HOA it’s gonna suck. Also you probably won’t find any new neighborhoods without an HOA in many larger Texas cities. I bought 10ths ago my house is just under 2000sf and my mortgage is less than 800/mo. The price tag on new homes is stupid.
i am thankful to be at least 31 years old where i got half a decade to work, live cheaper than now, and invest before everything went absolutely haywire in expense and being overvalued.
Have you ever seen the Levittown-style 1950s homes that the Baby boomers purchased? They don't look very different from these. Younger generations are delusional about the past.
@Jess1234 Biden didnt deviate from the status-quo....but this economic climate didnt manifest over the last 4 years...or even the last 20 years. This goose has been cooking in earnest since the early 80s
From what I can tell from available HAR listings, the HOA fee is $250/annually. It isn't that high, but the fact that there is an HOA at all is a big red flag for me.
Everyone’s mad about the lack of trees. Listen, I love the trees in my neighborhood, but roots, falling branches from storms, and leaf clogged gutters have cause 1 major leak, 2 minor leaks, and one car repair in the two years I’ve lived in my house. Not to mention daily yard (patio) maintenance in the fall, and car washes every other day in the spring. Two of my neighbors have also had sewage backup due to root issues since I’ve been here. I would be thrilled not to have trees at this point.
I have been following your channel i must say i love the houses and they are worth it, soon i will come to patronise you, but here I bring you good news, I'm 47yrs Old $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video has inspired me greatly in many ways!!!
It's a miracle and I would testify, 110K bucks every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
Why do you say that? Is it Because they're lower priced and you think people that can only afford these are ghetto people!!?? Trust me, people that will buy these will take pride in their home and will appreciate it a hell of a lot more than rich people! Too bad the whole city is in a flood zone
@@girlnextdoor7012 Bless your heart; on the surface these types of neighborhoods are built with good intentions but all turn out the same. Drive down harm Clark Houston Texas, same setup same results. Then take a left on Orem headed towards Alameda on the right same neighborhood setup with the same results. Then venture out to Teal Run area off of highway 6 behind Rosa Park elementary, better set up the same results. I'm not just making a statement, I'm telling you facts; yes, I'm a black man. It is what it is.
@@girlnextdoor7012 that is exactly correct…some folks try to escape some other folks and environments and unfortunately these homes (not all) will be occupied by “ghetto” folks…I see it in my neighborhood which is HOA but they have different ranges in terms of house price and builders/some gated/ some secluded etc…certain folks move in and let the grass over grow, random people in and out, complain about the HOA….our Facebook group has seen vandalism on our trails/ kids smoking/ stealing shit…people are moving out and programs come in and lease homes to people who can’t qualify normally….the best example I can give you…Katy and Cypress used to be nice places…they are now super ghetto with rising crime at an unbelievable frequency….im 35 min north of Houston and it’s sad that the country feeling is starting to feel like ghetto a tad bit….and before you possibly…judge I am a black man…
As someone who is from aldine (an actual ghetto) the only way this’ll become one is if the HOA isn’t controlling. And we all know that’s not gonna happen.
No garage. When you own a home, 🏠 you should have a decent garage. No basement. Slab on grade. 2 bedroom loft. The tall ceilings take away from having an extra bedroom.
The tall ceilings also prevent proper cooling of the house. Hot air rises so naturally all the hot air stays on the 2nd level where the bedrooms often are, making it even worse considering that's roofed and collects heat.
Respectfully asking anything over 100k is crazy. Extremely narrow and cramped. No garage and no basement. They should cost the same as buying in a trailer park.
all those sold homes in this neighborhood unfortunately justifies there sales prices. it gets sold, then that price is recorded in county records.....supply and demand tells the story.
This is actually in Conroe. We haven’t flooded through any of the storms yet. It is considered a rural location so there are several trees and woods located nearby. It’s a cute safe neighborhood. The people that live here are very friendly and everyone welcomes you. I have a full size washer and dryer though. It’s mostly older people without kids.
Small homes like this being built so close together is a recipe for bringing in the riff-raff. It will become a ghetto and it will spread out. Considering that the Woodlands area and vicinity is about the only decent areas left in the Houston area, outside of some parts of Katy and perhaps the Galleria area of West Houston, you're basically inviting cultures into the area that will not upkeep these homes. It will spread out from these neighborhoods and destroy the town in as little as ten years, fifteen years on average. It's the same thing, just slightly less so, than building multiple apartment complexes. Municipalities approve apartment complexes for short term tax gains and higher personal salaries for city workers at the expense of the long term quality of life for the area and its residents. They essentially destroy any investment, the hopes and dreams of those who moved to the area when it was nice, forcing these families to move before even their kids are fully grown. It's outrageous. The tax base then dries up and the whole city becomes one big ghetto and a downward spiral complete with crime, underperforming schools, and unkempt properties.
You would have to pay me to live in that shit box. No garage , tiny back yard , wooden fence instead of cinder blocks , no trees. You can probably hear your neighbors play reggaeton at 2 a.m.
We live in a different time now and these homes don't look flood and tornado safe 😢 they don't even look like they would abstain a child's baseball toss.😂
Only things missing are a second windows beside the front door, sidewalks to go to the park, and actual 3rd bedroom. Why in the world would they build a loft and two story living room instead of use that space for more bedrooms.
Being a single male, sign me up I’ll take a house like that anytime, its not overly priced, nice decent space , no garage which kinda sucks but at least you got a roof over your head.
This is what being finessed looks like aka gaslighting..how can tht be a bedroom with no dam window.,that’s illegal…I’m on house 1 ..I’ll exit stage left because primary bedroom is the appropriate term .. still stuck on the closet and a room
Yes it did, you couldn’t even turn down the road, it happened when they let out the damn, the river that runs through this area flooded the entire area
I think this is actually great, my concern would be its a DR Horton which is under a number of lawsuits right now, notorious for cutting corners and making cheap decisions. However, for the price you can't get a bad deal as long as the house doesn't burn down. Assuming no fire hazards, this is what a ton of states need to be building instead of mega mansions. Starter homes for starter families.
They should be 50k, and it should be everywhere in the country, they need to look at boring as possible as to not attract speculative buyers, so they're already doing a great job with that.
I used to live in Houston for 3 years and I can tell you right now you have to be extremely careful where you buy a home there. These places are cute so I'm not running it into the mud. But really take a look in the area around these homes. Because Houston can be a difficult place to live in if you pick the wrong place. But yes, these are very nice homes.
A small part of me sees the cute homes and tidy floor plans and thinks this is great for me as an empty nester. But I keep things neat and clean and am just one person. But I’m also a realist. These are going to be bought by a family of four trying to squeeze into a “three bedroom” home that’s really only 2 bedrooms. No garages or storage for their gear. Bikes and strollers will all end up on the porch covered in tarps. In 10 years, or less, these homes will be busting at the seams with junk that has no garage to be hidden in. The driveways are small and most people have huge crossovers and trucks. The streets will get clogged with the overflow. Imagine when that family of four has a teenage driver with a car. Where is it going to go? Or a broken down truck on blocks that doesn’t get scrapped. Just stored in the driveway while the family parks in the street. I’m sorry, but no.
You definitely called it correctly. The smallest house can accommodate 1 or 2 people with an occasional visitor. And they have to be minimalist and/or very ocd when it comes to cleaning. The biggest can accommodate 2 or 3 but as soon as someone is growing or acquiring more items. They will have to sale asap and that’s just not going to happen for the majority of people especially how this economy works and inflation. So they will inevitably stay longer and turn the neighborhood into a nightmare.
They only sell competed inventory homes to investors so it limits how many investors can buy, they have 38 homes left to sell rn and only 2 of them are competed inventory
I find it hilarious that they are calling this Houston. It is actually in Conroe. When I grew up inside Loop 610 in Houston in the 1960's, this area was considered to be way out there. Glad I left H-town in 1990.
I feel like considering the house market prices and inflation this house is reasonably priced. It is small like an apartment but you do get your own place with no worries of upstairs or downstairs neighbors 🤷🏽♀️
Be careful with the hype! I bought into the idea is quiet homeownership and moved into a home with this type of setup off of 290 and Hollister. Caracara Dr. if you wanna take a ride and see for yourself. I was flanked on either side by families that basically abandoned their dogs outside. One entertained itself by digging holes in the fence, the other one barked incessantly every time I opened my back door. I couldn't even BBQ in peace. Across the street, there were at least 8 people living in a home built for 4-5. They turned their 2 car garage into a party room, would throw up the doors every Friday AND Saturday night and have dozens of people over for music, Coronas, etc etc. Their vehicles would block up those tight little streets. Their garage directly faced mine, and every weekend became a party fiesta in my house whether I wanted it OR NOT. Numerous calls to the HOA did nothing. HPD would stop by now and again, but to no avail. I sold that house a year later TO THE DAY. It was a sellers market and I made 10k, cash deal and I had to be out in 10 days. Challenge accepted. I lied and said it was a nice neighborhood and I got a dream job in Austin, that's why I was leaving. I was scared if I told the truth I'd be stuck there forever. I went back to my peaceful apartment living in Tanglewood. Promised myself I would NEVER be a homeowner again.
The only positive to this, is that you could build equity as a homeowner. Could work for a single person or newly wed couples for 2 or 3 years until they can afford better.
Imagine a black car parked in the driveway at 109 degrees, no carport, and they have smart meters that will cut off certain appliances and your ev car when there aren’t actual blackouts
I really like these style of house. They look like old midwest style houses. They just need to plant some trees and give them about 30-40 years to mature and that neighborhood will look really good
137k. Finally something I can maybe afford. I’d buy this if they were in my area. Wish they would do this nationwide. That said, it isn’t a 3 bed. It’s 2 bedroom. They would need to drywall part of the loft off to count it as 3. I did that on mine, making it into a 2 bedroom from a 1. The high ceilings absolutely make the space feel bigger than it is.
I think these would be nice starter homes! Get this as a first time home buyer and stay in it for 5 years as opposed to an apartment. Move up to a more standard house after. Makes sense to me! You could put down as low as 3 percent!
Heard many horror stories about D.R. Horton. Maybe if there are other builders in the area that have similar floorplans and price range will consider this area.
Most of the country is struggling with a affordable housing crisis where many people can't even buy a home. These homes are affordable and new, but the comments are full of complaints. I live in Columbus, OH, and new homes in my area well over $300,000 in not so great areas and $400,000 and up in suburbs. Your not getting any new home for $137,000 anywhere near Columbus OH. So to me these homes are great and at least a family can afford to have a roof over their head and be a home owner. At a later time they can always sell and upgrade to a better home.
@@WillieFungo No Boomer was buying a house in the 50s. And very few were buying houses in the 60s, perhaps only a small percentage as even the oldest boomers were only 24 years old in 1969. You are referring to the Silent Generation and GI Generations which proceeded the boomers. Boomers were mostly buying houses in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s for younger boomers.
Don't forget to add property taxes in that payment. Houston just had and increase. A $200.000 house is like 3,200, so add another almost $300.00 to the house payment monthly. Houston doesn't pay state taxes and is a expensive place to buy a house. And not to mention the insurance on these homes because of the disasters that happen down there the insurance has skyrocket. Do your research before buying a house in Houston.
Checking a listing for a $150k home in the neighborhood for sale on HAR, the tax rate is 1.5891%, or ~$199/monthly as of the latest tax evaluation in 2024. This area definitely requires flood insurance.
It’s absolutely insane these are considered “small”. When everyone talks about housing being affordable in the 1960s, this is how big the average American home was. These are not “small” or “tiny houses.” This is what houses used to be like. IMO these would have been better if the lots were narrower and deeper. The side yards being so narrow are basically useless space, it’s better to have more land in the back as a deeper yard. I also think the double height ceilings are a bit of a waste of space. It be better if that was an extra bedroom. I’m wondering how many people will do just that to the space in the future. It does look nice though.
More accurately, that's how houses "used to be newly built." Cold-War -era suburban small houses, yes, with one-car driveways and no garage, are still standing and people still live in them.
Yup. I don’t get it. My parents had good jobs, my dad was a top salesman in his company so we got to grow up in the 2000+ sq foot house. I am not the average. My “boomer” grandparents literally lived in and raised kids in a home smaller than these. My whole city is FULL of houses that are similar sized or smaller. Small plots of land, 1 car, and no garage.
So cozy , I like this!! This reminds me of the South Park cottages homes in Atlanta. They just opened up another community of techie homes in Union park . Their models look tiny too but a little bit more modern. This looks bigger then those. I like having walls instead of windows
Anyone buying there can expect the worst neighbors. They won’t take care of their lawns, they’ll let their teens run around unsupervised, they’ll complain about any HOA rules, they’ll park commercial vehicles on the streets, they’ll play loud music at all hours, and so on. Trust that. The homes are decent and affordable, but at the low end of affordability, it will attract those of less than middle class values.
The fire department won't allow parking on the 'streets' because they are reserved as a fire lane for firetruck access. They are not wide enough to be municipal roads, just strata access lanes.
Buddy, homes that were this size popped up everywhere during the 50’s-70’s when the American dream was allegedly “alive” so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Not necessarily. Low price house don't equal hood. Apartments maybe. Anyone who goes through the home buying process is not ruin that with drug and violence.

2. These houses are too expensive , too small for the money and do not have enough amenities- no garage, those stackable w/d units can only handle a very small load at a time. We are buying a house that is 30 years old - it’s 5 bedrooms with a loft a two car garage for $275k. It has been inspected, it has real wood floors, foundation is great, new roof, great plumbing, electrical and it’s on a cul-de-sac and it has a large backyard. The only things that need changing is repainting two rooms.
Plus this area floods. And with global climate change we are have 100 yr floods every 5 years.
@FoodNerds
No 3rd bedroom either in all of these .
No shade in summer cause no trees , the cheap A.C. is gonna die the first time it hits 100F. On top of that , no garage and those lame w/d units.

If you are not from the Houston, Texas area and are considering moving here - word of advice:
YOU CANNOT BUY A HOME IN HOUSTON OVER THE INTERNET OR SOME RANDOM TH-cam AD.
As you probably know, Houston is incredibly flood-prone and EVERY home you consider must be evaluated for flooding probability. In fact, the area these homes are in (or very near here) are currently experiencing a major flooding event. You see in Houston, it is perfectly legal for a developer to build and sell you a home in the 100-year flood plain. You will need special flood insurance to occupy the home but moreover - we seem to have 100-year floods OFTEN! (the various counties are constantly updating their '100-year' maps).
Furthermore, most of these homes in outlying areas are NOT in any city and typically require special water districts called 'MUD' districts to bring water/sewage/drainage to the home. These districts have their own taxing authority so you will pay 'MUD taxes' in addition to school and county taxes. Some MUD districts have very high taxes. The MUD taxes could go up if the district has flooding issues. If the MUD is not properly funded, your water bills could be to the moon!
The bottom line is actual home price is only a small part of the house buying process in Houston. Start by picking the area where potential flooding issues are well handled (and of course you like) - then pick the home in that area.
Don't be fooled by crap like this advertised via TH-cam. Buyer beware.

I watch every Houston Real Estate TH-cam channel and are there bad ones out there? Definitely! You’ll often find me in the comments calling them out.

@@sew_gal7340 Pretty sure I recall seeing that Texas can have tornado, I didn't see any storm shelters in the homes...
Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Houston Texas in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

As a native Texan avoid buying or renting property in Houston with poor drainage due to trash & debris in the inlets. Not to mention areas adjacent to bayou’s like north & S. braeswood. Lastly, avoid Houston “metropolitan areas” and/or “communities” adjacent to rivers, lakes (i.e. Lake Conroe), reservoirs etc. These are flood prone zones.
Buying a shed for the price you would've gotten for a 3 bedroom in 2014 is insane. Housing prospectors are artificially inflating prices to the detriment of first time buyers.
Idk why so many people are complaining. You all want that American dream your “boomer” grandparents had, yet fail to realize a ton of them had houses like this. My grandparents home was 750 sq feet, smaller than these. We have a city FULL of homes that were small like these that were all built in the 1940’s and 50’s. A 2000 sq foot home was never the standard, and if you grew up in one like I did, you were fortunate and are not a part of the majority. This is middle class living of the 50’s.

Love the affordable housing, but on that first home, legally they cannot call that loft space a bedroom. If they are calling it a bedroom while being appraised, then you're going to run into some issues later down the road when re-listing the house and selling it latter. I don't like housing developers that lie about living space. Just be honest. 2 bedroom with a loft.
It has a closet, idk the exact rules, but I agree with you, just need to market it for what it is
@@livinginhtx How can you be a real estate agent -- or be in the home-selling business -- and NOT know the exact rules about what a bedroom is? Better look that up.
Wrong... It has a closet so technically it is a bedroom!
@@tonyzuco6144 Generally, a legal bedroom must have two forms of egress. Usually that means a door, and a window that you can reach, open, and escape through. That's why so many basement "bedrooms" are not legal bedrooms: the window (if there is one) is too small and too high off the floor. Many newer apartment blocks have two rooms big enough to be bedrooms, but they have to market the unit as a "one-bedroom with den" because the den room doesn't have a window.

No garage. When you own a home, 🏠 you should have a decent garage. No basement. Slab on grade. 2 bedroom loft. The tall ceilings take away from having an extra bedroom.
The tall ceilings also prevent proper cooling of the house. Hot air rises so naturally all the hot air stays on the 2nd level where the bedrooms often are, making it even worse considering that's roofed and collects heat.
Well it's cheap. If u want a garage you can get one for double the price.

all those sold homes in this neighborhood unfortunately justifies there sales prices. it gets sold, then that price is recorded in county records.....supply and demand tells the story.

This is actually in Conroe. We haven’t flooded through any of the storms yet. It is considered a rural location so there are several trees and woods located nearby. It’s a cute safe neighborhood. The people that live here are very friendly and everyone welcomes you. I have a full size washer and dryer though.
It’s mostly older people without kids.
Small homes like this being built so close together is a recipe for bringing in the riff-raff. It will become a ghetto and it will spread out. Considering that the Woodlands area and vicinity is about the only decent areas left in the Houston area, outside of some parts of Katy and perhaps the Galleria area of West Houston, you're basically inviting cultures into the area that will not upkeep these homes. It will spread out from these neighborhoods and destroy the town in as little as ten years, fifteen years on average. It's the same thing, just slightly less so, than building multiple apartment complexes. Municipalities approve apartment complexes for short term tax gains and higher personal salaries for city workers at the expense of the long term quality of life for the area and its residents. They essentially destroy any investment, the hopes and dreams of those who moved to the area when it was nice, forcing these families to move before even their kids are fully grown. It's outrageous. The tax base then dries up and the whole city becomes one big ghetto and a downward spiral complete with crime, underperforming schools, and unkempt properties.
You would have to pay me to live in that shit box. No garage , tiny back yard , wooden fence instead of cinder blocks , no trees. You can probably hear your neighbors play reggaeton at 2 a.m.

I think this is actually great, my concern would be its a DR Horton which is under a number of lawsuits right now, notorious for cutting corners and making cheap decisions. However, for the price you can't get a bad deal as long as the house doesn't burn down.
Assuming no fire hazards, this is what a ton of states need to be building instead of mega mansions. Starter homes for starter families.
@@TravelRunnerWA Dr Horton is horrible. You are correct
They should be 50k, and it should be everywhere in the country, they need to look at boring as possible as to not attract speculative buyers, so they're already doing a great job with that.
I used to live in Houston for 3 years and I can tell you right now you have to be extremely careful where you buy a home there. These places are cute so I'm not running it into the mud. But really take a look in the area around these homes. Because Houston can be a difficult place to live in if you pick the wrong place. But yes, these are very nice homes.
A small part of me sees the cute homes and tidy floor plans and thinks this is great for me as an empty nester. But I keep things neat and clean and am just one person.
But I’m also a realist. These are going to be bought by a family of four trying to squeeze into a “three bedroom” home that’s really only 2 bedrooms. No garages or storage for their gear. Bikes and strollers will all end up on the porch covered in tarps. In 10 years, or less, these homes will be busting at the seams with junk that has no garage to be hidden in. The driveways are small and most people have huge crossovers and trucks. The streets will get clogged with the overflow. Imagine when that family of four has a teenage driver with a car. Where is it going to go? Or a broken down truck on blocks that doesn’t get scrapped. Just stored in the driveway while the family parks in the street.
I’m sorry, but no.
Wow, you nailed it!
You definitely called it correctly. The smallest house can accommodate 1 or 2 people with an occasional visitor. And they have to be minimalist and/or very ocd when it comes to cleaning. The biggest can accommodate 2 or 3 but as soon as someone is growing or acquiring more items. They will have to sale asap and that’s just not going to happen for the majority of people especially how this economy works and inflation. So they will inevitably stay longer and turn the neighborhood into a nightmare.
Anybody heard of shrink inflation. 20 years from now you'll get a little 20 by 20 for $200,000
investors are going to pick all these up and rent them out.
They only sell competed inventory homes to investors so it limits how many investors can buy, they have 38 homes left to sell rn and only 2 of them are competed inventory
@@livinginhtx that’s good to know!

I agree!
Be careful with the hype! I bought into the idea is quiet homeownership and moved into a home with this type of setup off of 290 and Hollister. Caracara Dr. if you wanna take a ride and see for yourself.
I was flanked on either side by families that basically abandoned their dogs outside. One entertained itself by digging holes in the fence, the other one barked incessantly every time I opened my back door. I couldn't even BBQ in peace.
Across the street, there were at least 8 people living in a home built for 4-5. They turned their 2 car garage into a party room, would throw up the doors every Friday AND Saturday night and have dozens of people over for music, Coronas, etc etc. Their vehicles would block up those tight little streets. Their garage directly faced mine, and every weekend became a party fiesta in my house whether I wanted it OR NOT.
Numerous calls to the HOA did nothing. HPD would stop by now and again, but to no avail.
I sold that house a year later TO THE DAY. It was a sellers market and I made 10k, cash deal and I had to be out in 10 days. Challenge accepted. I lied and said it was a nice neighborhood and I got a dream job in Austin, that's why I was leaving. I was scared if I told the truth I'd be stuck there forever.
I went back to my peaceful apartment living in Tanglewood. Promised myself I would NEVER be a homeowner again.

Texas is not where I would live it's already 109° and it's only May, rolling blackouts because they can't sustain the grid.
I'll pass
Imagine a black car parked in the driveway at 109 degrees, no carport, and they have smart meters that will cut off certain appliances and your ev car when there aren’t actual blackouts
I really like these style of house. They look like old midwest style houses. They just need to plant some trees and give them about 30-40 years to mature and that neighborhood will look really good
Impressed the houses have 2 car parking! I know a lot of housing developments with big houses and only 1 car driveway space which is such a pain
Will the HOA allow garages to be built on those patches of concrete in front of the homes?
Do they have an option of closing off the entire second floor? That makes more square footage and better efficiency for heating.
I asked that exact question and he said they had done that with a few of them
That’s a home depot shed house , not a home, few years from now that neighborhood going to look like the ghetto projects or section 8.
137k. Finally something I can maybe afford. I’d buy this if they were in my area. Wish they would do this nationwide.
That said, it isn’t a 3 bed. It’s 2 bedroom. They would need to drywall part of the loft off to count it as 3. I did that on mine, making it into a 2 bedroom from a 1.
The high ceilings absolutely make the space feel bigger than it is.

Wish I could get the plans to build option 1 in Missouri. 😮
Bought my house for 78k back in 2013
2 Bath 3Bedrooms big yard
Gotta loveTexas!
These are just so small. This whole neighborhood makes me feel like I’d go insane
They are definitely on the smaller side, not for everyone there are similar neighborhoods nearby with larger homes that are still very affordable
Think of it like a townhome but separated.
I think these would be nice starter homes! Get this as a first time home buyer and stay in it for 5 years as opposed to an apartment. Move up to a more standard house after. Makes sense to me! You could put down as low as 3 percent!
@@Aggie4life77 exactly, Gigem Aggies
They'll be section 8 in a few years.
Great to see sub $150k for homes. No covered parking though? And some look as if no parking at all?
Heard many horror stories about D.R. Horton. Maybe if there are other builders in the area that have similar floorplans and price range will consider this area.
There are actually similar builders right down the road
Looks better than a $500k in Tokyo where I living in.
Isn’t half of that area in a flood zone? Can you get a mortgage in a flood zone?
I love small houses ❤❤❤❤
the ppl that say they wanna live in a tiny home/downsize and be a minimalist..here ya go. dr horton made it possible.
Hahaha exactly
Made it possible how? These shouldn’t prices starting at $135k, out in the middle nowhere they should be less than $100k
@@Petunia500 That used to be the case, but unfortunately not anymore
Did I hear DR Horton?
Oh no…….😮🤥🤦🏽♀️
@@carolyn872 😂 there are not so bad but yeah I get what you mean
Most of the country is struggling with a affordable housing crisis where many people can't even buy a home. These homes are affordable and new, but the comments are full of complaints. I live in Columbus, OH, and new homes in my area well over $300,000 in not so great areas and $400,000 and up in suburbs. Your not getting any new home for $137,000 anywhere near Columbus OH. So to me these homes are great and at least a family can afford to have a roof over their head and be a home owner. At a later time they can always sell and upgrade to a better home.
Exactly. These are the types of homes most boomers bought for cheap in the 1950s and 60s.
@@WillieFungo No Boomer was buying a house in the 50s. And very few were buying houses in the 60s, perhaps only a small percentage as even the oldest boomers were only 24 years old in 1969. You are referring to the Silent Generation and GI Generations which proceeded the boomers. Boomers were mostly buying houses in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s for younger boomers.
@@willp.8120 Fair enough. But the main point still stands.
Don't forget to add property taxes in that payment. Houston just had and increase. A $200.000 house is like 3,200, so add another almost $300.00 to the house payment monthly. Houston doesn't pay state taxes and is a expensive place to buy a house. And not to mention the insurance on these homes because of the disasters that happen down there the insurance has skyrocket. Do your research before buying a house in Houston.
Checking a listing for a $150k home in the neighborhood for sale on HAR, the tax rate is 1.5891%, or ~$199/monthly as of the latest tax evaluation in 2024. This area definitely requires flood insurance.
Omg this is the house area where those aliens trap couples to raise their alien kids . 🥴
Any such deals in Dallas?
Not worth the prices. Tiny and
All the houses are on top of each other. Rip off
Very true! I'm strongly considering moving out of Houston. Do you have anymore channels? I'd love to subscribe.
It’s absolutely insane these are considered “small”. When everyone talks about housing being affordable in the 1960s, this is how big the average American home was. These are not “small” or “tiny houses.” This is what houses used to be like.
IMO these would have been better if the lots were narrower and deeper. The side yards being so narrow are basically useless space, it’s better to have more land in the back as a deeper yard.
I also think the double height ceilings are a bit of a waste of space. It be better if that was an extra bedroom. I’m wondering how many people will do just that to the space in the future. It does look nice though.
More accurately, that's how houses "used to be newly built." Cold-War -era suburban small houses, yes, with one-car driveways and no garage, are still standing and people still live in them.
Yup. I don’t get it. My parents had good jobs, my dad was a top salesman in his company so we got to grow up in the 2000+ sq foot house. I am not the average. My “boomer” grandparents literally lived in and raised kids in a home smaller than these. My whole city is FULL of houses that are similar sized or smaller. Small plots of land, 1 car, and no garage.
These homes remind me of my grandparent’s old house with some major upgrades!
So cozy , I like this!! This reminds me of the South Park cottages homes in Atlanta. They just opened up another community of techie homes in Union park . Their models look tiny too but a little bit more modern. This looks bigger then those. I like having walls instead of windows
Bring this to California!!!!
Anyone buying there can expect the worst neighbors. They won’t take care of their lawns, they’ll let their teens run around unsupervised, they’ll complain about any HOA rules, they’ll park commercial vehicles on the streets, they’ll play loud music at all hours, and so on. Trust that. The homes are decent and affordable, but at the low end of affordability, it will attract those of less than middle class values.
💯
@@SomeGuy-cw9rw That was the first thing I thought, the ghetto will spread and it will be just another neighborhood marked by the police
The fire department won't allow parking on the 'streets' because they are reserved as a fire lane for firetruck access. They are not wide enough to be municipal roads, just strata access lanes.
man the american dream is dead
We gotta change with the times kid!!!!! ;)
@@RebeccaCasarez-i5z hell does that mean, we shouldn't have to settle for a lesser quality of life than previous generations.
It never existed, they used that term to get the people to work and remit taxes. America is nothing but DECEPTION.
Buddy, homes that were this size popped up everywhere during the 50’s-70’s when the American dream was allegedly “alive” so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
@Whatisthis195 I mean the houses may have been that sized but they at least had bigger yards and sometimes garages
The climate looks absolutely stunning. (Coming from a person who never sees a clear sky in a most polluted city)
When I was a little boy I saw houses exactly this size selling for less than $10,000. 🤯🥴😳🤯😱
I wouldn't buy a shed built by DR Horton, much less a starter house.
Man these are great. Wish these were being built in Utah.
double edge sword with low prices, it's going to turn into the hood not too long after
That's after prices drop from recession. And people realize they were duped onto buying this garbage.
Yelp
Not necessarily. Low price house don't equal hood. Apartments maybe. Anyone who goes through the home buying process is not ruin that with drug and violence.
My Thought exactly
@@Master63y it's not them, it's their family members, cousins and friends that needs a place to stay
they should put a HOA and make sure its owner occupied only and no one gets to abuse the real estate situation by hoarding homes and renting them out.
