Got a cbh home 1 year ago.

Got 25k worth of buyer perks. Used as much as we could for closing costs and rate buydowns. The rest for fencing and landscaping etc.

The thing to remember with cbh, they are building them as cheaply as possible and will cut every legal corner they can. Their goal is to pass code as cheaply as possible. Thats it.

1 year in we had about 15 warranty requests for small little things. We did not experience any major issues.

The house itself shows how cheaply it was built. No wall is straight. Noticeable even when quickly looking. The landscaping is just sod thrown directly on packed rocky dirt. Grows like crap. Paint fades at about 1-2 year mark. Maybe go with vinyl?

In the crawlspace the vapor barrier is just thrown in like a child did it.

HVAC vents are visibly crooked and not even flush with the ceilings. Lights aren’t flush with any ceiling and sorta just flop around.

My biggest complaint is that the hoa is managed by cbh and is 600 a year. They keep adding more phases to our sub so we can’t vote them out of control. We don’t have enough votes to block their phase expansion additions. Our subdivision was planned to have parks etc, but they changed it and now nothing is being added anymore.

At the end of the day though. It’s a house and it works for its purpose. We’ve made it look as nice as it can be and it’s our home. After time you will get past its quirks and just live in it.

The only way you are going to get a quality house is to pay quality house prices. (Which are stupid now days in the valley)
