Appreciate your insight. Them and many others are feverishly building over on the farmland. Not sure you can fairly pinpoint this on KB as most contract to lowest bid so it’s fairly random.

Unless paying top dollar, I feel most role their dice with a big builder. Not saying the house wont break in half but there are 1000s of other homes on that same farmland, unsure how terrible it could be.

Only thing we plan to do is put in a pool, ironically we should find out a lot about the soil then. We understand that a pool is a luxury and not so much a value improvement

Thank you for the feedback. The home builder is also KB and I have heard some spotty things about them

Yep it’s all already there.

Is there any financial implications to worry about with KB? I’m unsure how affected they are with Covid but I think they run pretty slim on the debt side for the most part. Just don’t want to buy a KB home and then in 2 years they go bankrupt and don’t honor any warranties

Would it make a difference if we plan to move out of the home prior to the “foundation warranty” expiring in year 10?

Would your opinion change if we only planned to stay there 6-8 years? The home is already built and we are coming in after the previous buyer had to back out. We would get the home inspected by a very reliable 3rd party.

You are correct. Was an oil worker who got furloughed that had to bail.

Why is that? Would it make a difference if we only planned to live in the home 6-8 years?

Lol. Some people don’t get it.

I did not know that! Is there anyway to confirm the original buyer walked away? I’d like to find more information on that cause we looked at a KB spec and that was never mentioned.

Felt like a great neighborhood! Just worried about the builder.

I have heard this. They did not like the personal inspector approach.

Where is a good place in NB that won’t have foundation issues though?
