It is surprising to see any homes priced below $300K these days.

I was watching a segment on New Construction. Instead of using OSB, they now using a type of "Cardboard sheathing" for the structural Support. Similar to what they used in the late 80s early 90s. I dont know if any othe OG OT Baws Remember the "Fiber Board"


It looks like a "structural Cardboard" So these mega builders can save cost and pass that "cost" onto you.

How do you get 3 bedrooms in 1100 sf? Has to be 8x8's. Plus living in Baytown is not exactly the life.

Based on a standard 2-car garage square footage vs the heated sq ft listed for that home, the garage is roughly half the size of the house.

Same here , people have developed a castle complex. My favorite house I have owned was 1125 Sqft, 3br 2ba, was well designed making maximum use of every sq ft. never felt small.

While I have no doubt they are that is hard to discern from a render.

You serious, Clark?

That would have been a dream scenario in the 60s

no BS.

Although I'm seeing A LOT of price reductions on realtor.com lately. And not 1-2k. I'm talking anywhere from 10-30k on some houses.

Low cost and Baytown is a terrible combo.

Baytown is horrendous and East Houston is worse. You have to drive across Houston to get anywhere decent.

my first house was a 4 bedroom 1.5 bath at 1200 sq feet. no garage, but it was a perfect starter home that maximized the space. it would have been fine to have raised 2 young kids in, but we would have outgrown it by now.
