A Low Price Point Doesnt Mean Low Quality.

Main / Building Value into Boise Real Estate

At least to a credible builder.

I’ve had a few calls lately from clients that want to build in the lower price points of the market, either for personal occupancy or investment purposes. After visiting my web-site and looking at all of the unique homes we have built, one of the first things they ask is “You build such nice homes, are you sure you’re willing to build in this lower price point?” My response “Only if you are not asking me to sacrifice quality, integrity and curb appeal!”

These business ethics and policies should apply to every builder building in any price point. Is your builder sacrificing quality, integrity and curb appeal to get you to choose them as your builder?

To discuss how my company demonstrates how we do not cut corners call me direct at 208-867-4587 or visit us a www.flynnerhomes.com

Re:A Low Price Point Doesnt Mean Low Quality.

Scott- If a builder is building at a lower price point, there has to be difference in quality somewhere. So what are the points in a house that are price negotiable and don't sacrifice the definition of quality?

Echo,

That simple is just not true; quality craftsmanship and integrity do not and should not be sacrificed in the lower price points. Builders should be using the same sub-contractors on the lower price point homes as they do in the upper price points. Those builders who shop around for the lowest pricing on skilled labor are not only jeopardizing their reputation, but they are jeopardizing the integrity of the home, which leads to disappointed homeowners. When it comes to skilled labor the old saying You get what you pay for applies.

The driving cost forces in every home are lot price, square footage and materials. The definition of quality materials is relative to the homeowner, which falls into the category of perceived value. I built a $340K home last year where the homeowners choose to put Formica countertops in their kitchen, was it a quality Formica yes, was it a quality installation yes, were the homeowners happy yes. In the lower price points there too will probably be Formica countertops. The point is that materials that might have a lesser perceived value, and cost less, still do not mean they are of poor quality.
