Experience with Pulte houses - good or bad???

[polarisrider1]

I do not work in Pulte or Eastbrook houses since it is cookie cutter and throw in the el cheapo to get you moved in, They approached me and wanted a "Tile Mechanic" I felt insulted by this and moved along. YOU get what you pay for in construction. If it is less, you are getting less. some are fine with this. All the pros know what each other charges. cheap=cheap.

As an update to all this, we decided to sell our existing house first before attempting to move forward with the next house, whether it's a new or existing house. We think our existing house will sell fairly quickly but there is just too much uncertainty these days to risk having two mortgages...

So what you saying? I have tiled (huge upgrade) 2 Pulte houses since this post started. both being big boxes with lots of space. I got to thank Pulte for putting in basic stuff and I get to add the pretty, so those can sell these boxes to other up starts.

I guess I mean we're not sure yet how we feel about the benefits vs costs of the Pulte-type home vs what else is out there. A lot of the older, more established neighborhoods in our area were built by tract builders also, so there isn't a clear advantage of buying into one of those, unless of course the pricing is better. Obviously you get a lot of space for the money with these types of homes but as many have pointed out, nothing is free and there are trade-offs. While our house is on the market, we are talking with some custom builders and also looking hard at other houses on the market...

Lots of good advice and opinions as usual on this site.

It's easy when Building and deciding what to spend $$ on, cut corners on things your confortable changing out later.

To me - Flooring and tile work is a no brainer, you can change that out easily anytime.
Windows and kitchen cabinets - I would spend as much as I could there.
