Nearly every new home that has been developed in my town for the last 5 years looks exactly the same, with the exact same floor plan. These new houses replace old houses that also looked exactly the same with same floor plan. It's a fugly two-family townhouse. Good houses don't matter to buyers in a seller's market. Poor architecture, poor execution, poor everything and yet they're selling.
Only the rich can afford good houses.

- turtlebits 3y agoDevelopers go cheap. It's very rare to be in the position to build your own home, as you'll never do it cheaper than a mass market/spec builder. It's almost always cheaper to just sell your property and buy something already existing. If you do end up building custom, it's almost a waste to find free plans, as you'll want to customize to your liking as much as possible.
