- So what's been my experience buying
and living in a CBH community?
Let's talk about that next.
Dave Edwards, "Treasure Valley Dave", here.
So today I'm talking
about my experience living in a CBH community
and buying a brand new house in the CBH community.
Why am I doing that?
Well, because a lot of my clients
are considering those exact same things,
and I just kinda wanna let you know
what my experience has been.
So we bought a house in a CBH community,
it was a brand new house
But the community was a little bit older,
so we're like the last house built in this community.
And that worked out great in
that it allowed us to see what
the community would mature into.
So on this lofty topic, you might be asking yourself,
what is a CBH community?
Well, CBH is Corey Barton Homes.
It's the largest builder in the entire state of Idaho,
like number 29 in the entire country.
And they build houses that are high value for the buck,
meaning it's not real fancy
but it's a very good quality house that people starting out
might be able to move into, it's that kind of community.
So what about the house?
Well, like I said, it was brand new when we moved into it
and it's been an absolutely fabulous house,
we really haven't had any issues to speak of.
The only thing that really we had to talk
with the warranty department is,
is that our deadbolt key thing broke.
And went on the website,
they were out here right away and fixed it.
And that's really been it, it's a great house,
it's great value.
I hate to tell you what we paid for it, but I will tell you
that it's more than doubled in the last six years.
So it'll probably double again in the next six years, maybe,
I don't know. But it's a very quality house,
it's a very desirable house.
Not only just the layout, but because it is a CBH house,
and they are known for a particular level of quality.
So I have heard from people
that they think CBH might be a lower-end house
that they would not be interested in.
Or that it's gonna be falling apart and stuff like that,
and that really is not the case.
They target a group of their houses,
not all of their houses,
'cause they do make some higher end homes.
But they do have a group of their houses
that they target towards, you know, people just entering
into the housing market for the first time.
And it's those houses that I live in,
and it's turned out to be a fabulous house.
We haven't spent hardly any money
on maintenance and things like that.
It's been six years and we haven't painted the outside,
and it doesn't really need it.
So, you know, we're very happy
with the way things have worked out, with the quality
of the house and even with the neighborhood.
So this isn't a promotion for CBH,
this is just my experiences living in a CBH home.
And when I do have clients that want other things,
you know, personalized, customized things,
then we do look at other options, other builders.
But if I have clients that are just looking to
get a very quality home that's already built
or almost done, this is a fabulous way to go.
So looking back, when I first got here,
I wasn't a real estate agent.
And our real estate agent, he was showing us around.
Mr. Brad Oliver, hat tip to you.
And we saw all sorts of existing homes,
we saw some new homes, but it wasn't
until we saw this home that we thought, "You know what?
Maybe this is what we should go for.
It's a nice home, the price is right,
and I don't have to do anything with that honey do list."
So fast forward, now I'm a real estate agent,
and really my opinion hasn't changed.
It's a good product
and I have no problem telling my clients about it
and giving them my honest experiences living here.
And I think it speaks well of the community
and also the home that we live in.
So that's the last six years in a nutshell, when it comes
to where I live, and I'm pretty happy with it.
And is it right for everybody?
Maybe not, there are other communities out there
that we can go look at.
There's other home models that we can go look at
and the important thing is though, don't put it off.
The way our market's going right now,
you snooze you lose.
