New Home purchase (TX). My home seems to being built to a lesser standard than all others (by the same builder). More thermoply is being used than other homes. What can I do?

I went to visit the house and noticed that my home is being built with thermo ply on the sides and back of the house. OSB is being used in the front.

On all other houses that i drove by, there was OSB in the front and back with thermo ply on the sides.

I signed the contract agreement several months ago and got it for a much lower price than what they are going for now.

Im not sure which other houses may have signed before me but from what i could tell, mine was the only house like this...I think there may have been 1 other one that also a set up like mine (and i think was also an early signer).

At first I thought maybe it was an elevation issue (some houses are stucco) but all the houses i drove by seemed to have OSB in the back.

I know lumber is at a high right now but it doesn't seem right that they are building my house with less quality.

I even drove by their other subdivision they are building and the homes there are the same (OSB in front and back).

This is a bit higher end builder and from what i've seen, thermoply is mainly used by the lower end builders).

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
