Residents in new Goodyear development say homes riddled with problems

I bet very few new developments have hones that have 1,200 square feet or less under air and the builders are putting down grass instead of drought resistant vegetation !!!

Well "mort....gage" literally means 'death pledge'.. the Bible says "he who builds his 🏠 with another man's money is like one who gathers stones for his own burial"

LandSea is chinese owned

Stop moving here, we’re almost out of water. Your new home will be worth nothing in the future

Arizona seems to have alot of crooked businesses here. Republicans dont want to regulate businesses so crooks flock to the state to freely rip people off. They love it

Cheap unskilled labor !!! Its everywhere now a days !!!

They started at the border now they're here homie.. - LMAO!!..

I wonder if getting rid of the "right to work" would keep things like this from repeating

What is the point of a punch-list if it is going to be ignored completely? The builder is shady.

I remember growing up new homes were inspected and fine.

I live in this neighbourhood and we had tons of issues, thankfully the builders did fix MOST of them..

ALWAYS get a home inspection, even on new builds!

It isn't just greed that fuels this. Up until the mid 2000s, Habitat for Humanity had a serious problem with construction quality. It likely stemmed from the founder, Millard Fuller. He was constantly pushing this goal, "Help more families! Help more families! Help more families!" And one main way he and other leaders sought to do this was by cutting corners.

In 1993 there was a report of several chapters in central Florida trying to bypass building codes meant to safeguard against hurricanes. Their reason, to "help more families". That still scares the crap out of me.

Things finally came to head in 2005 when it was discovered an 85 home blitz build in Jacksonville was done with substandard materials on top of an old landfill.

They've made a lot of improvements since then, but with the affordable housing crisis I've seen a few instances of them slipping back into old habits

Make a tictok video complain louldy, i saw one guy made a video got 10 million views then the company that built his house had people come out and fix it.

Don’t buy Khovnanian. Don’t do it.

This is standard practice in all the southwest states! I live in EL Paso Tx and they do the same thing here too! The quality of new homes is garbage! You couldn't give one! I'd bulldoze it to the ground and start over myself! And I work for 5 homebuilders in our city 4 of which are the biggest in our city! I wont mention names but THE biggest one has commercials that tout them as the number 1 homebuilder in EL Paso- and the quality of their homes is poo poo!

Isn’t it crazy how mortgage rates continue to rise with higher imports and declining exports? meanwhile the FED is yet to lessen cost. Something will eventually break if they keep raising interest rates and quantitative tightening

Laws in AZ re these forced mediation and arbitration provisions and what constitutes gross negligence and fraud need to be changed. Same with qualified immunity for city home inspectors.

Sounds like the last property bubble; cheap materials built fast

how in the world you are paying for something you never had final walk-through?is it even legal to get money for the house which never been accepted by buyer?

Before you close you have an independent inspection. Any items on the list would be fixed and then you close. Of course they want their money, you want a good home. So that's how you get these guys to perform.

The low 500s 😂

This is the dark side of the heavy handed "business friendly" atmosphere that red states like Arizona create.

Lax regulations and enforcement means that builders cut corners with impunity. Lax consumer protections means they often have little recourse beyond complaining.

Never ever sign final closing documents without a home inspection on a new tracked home. There is almost no building and code inspection during construction and the labor pool is truly crap.

This isn't a new problem by far. In 2016 I was delivering siding to a brand new subdivision that was under construction.
As I was stowing my straps, I watched a living room wall literally fall out of the house next door.
These were homes being sold for $200,000 each, and each with tiny yards.

That is way too much money for that size home. "From the low 500s" should buy a custom home twice that size.

Sue them with punitive damages.

Do not ever buy a home built 2020 or later. Defective substitute materials, unskilled labor, and the builders do not care. You will pay to fix it all.

If your house is from one of the big developers, then the newer the home the worse. Wonder where all the illegals are making money?....yes the construction industry. The contractor may have a license, but the workers do not even have papers let alone skill to do the work.

Greedy contractors and illegal immigrants doing the work. You deserve it. Only a fool would buy a home now.

Drive through the new home project and look who is building your home. That tells you all you need to know

This is the problem with everything nowadays , everything’s junk….buy a older quality built home…

Hiring illegals with no knowlege or attention to detail. Then no managers checking their work. This is everywhere with these cookie cutter housing communities. Its a disgrace!

This what happens when qualified help is replaced with illegals for the cheap labor .

What's so wrong with having a pool in a heatwave? I don't get it people.

Interesting ... nobody considers NOT building houses. I'm curious what I will find when I look at these 'communities' ten years from now.

This makes me very thankful for my 117 year old home. Solid and sound!

IMO - Buyers beware. There were also a lot of shoddily built houses during the COVID pandemic due to labor and material shortages.

I hired a guy to do some stucco, parging, and concrete work on my 65-year old house with block walls. He said the majority of his work is actually on new homes that got torn apart to fix various issues. He also said the newer homes with wood framing are less forgiving, and unless the vapor barriers, wraps, flashing, etc are done perfectly it causes a lot of water problems that are hidden for years doing major damage in the walls. Pretty scary stuff.

Any home built since 2020 is probably junk.

Do not close on a property if you aren’t satisfied

Could be worse in the Meta Verse 👽

Plain and simply do not pay for this until he fixes everything

I wouldn’t worry, you’ll soon have NO water…

hire and pay your own contractors, there is a reason stuff is like that, the builder does not pay the contractors, and probably built by illegals.

Land sea homes got it.

Capitalism at its VERY BEST. Just as long as the developer gets his share....

That's why we did not want a new build. No regrets.

Houses are extremely overpriced and builders are greedy. They are ripping every buyer off
