re: Pulled the trigger on a new construction home - tell me what I need to look out for

What part of central Texas?

I live in weatherford. Bought about 8-9 months ago. There was a new build in my area they were asking the same amount that house we ended up with and the listing said “the builder spared no expense” word for word. I could not find one area the builder went above builder grade with the exception of spray foam insulation. Cabinets were painted builder grade, no water treatment on a well, builder grade floors. Just complete crap for the price point they were at. My house ended up appraising $135k under our offer and their asking price. . . I was grateful for how it worked out but wasn’t too happy how we ended up offering that much. So I got the house for what it appraised for. The other house is still on the market as of today still for more than the house we got and the house we got was done absolutely the way we would have wanted it.
