re: Home values affected by DLSD

My last house was DSLD. Bought for $212K, sold for $250K about 4 years later.

Quality was decent. Only had a handful of minor issues after moving in. But DSLD comes out 3 or 4 times throughout the first year for follow ups. Think they called it a warranty inspection, but it was mostly just touching any up minor issues you noticed(fix rough trim cuts, re-caulking trim, adjust doors, fix weather strip peeling off front door, etc).

Wasn't a fan of the cookie cutter look of the neighborhood where every house looked almost exactly the same. Now that I'm in a custom built, I'd be a little mad if DSLD or Horton started building a neighborhood right next to mine because I wouldn't want the cookie cutter comps having negative affect on my neighborhood's value.
