First Encounter with H R Horton

[Zoe]

Yes True perhaps.
In this case, LOL, it wasn't a demo-type home & pool with spa & rocks & stuff.
...BUT it may be by now.

Okay, so you say they are building high end in that subdivision?

 

[Zoe]

All I have done for them have been new construction. That's it. It actually wasn't for them. It was for bank.

NOPE, what I am saying is the home and acreage they purchased was FAR from a "reach the end of life type property".
Perhaps Horton will turn-it-into the Clubhouse with POOL & spa.
Curious: Now I need to ask IF the dozer has been clearing the back acreage.
I'm guessing it will become a continuation of mixed-use SFR & T-Homes from their adjacent TH Dev'. ...Which are @8-10 years old, also selling in the $250-300k range because there is limited available land & housing inventory shortages in the area. Dense Townhome devs' are gravy for builders.

I would think the economy of scale would favor buying a large swath of land and developing with 60 + homes. There are a lot of such areas around that would be favorable and have demand. Right now Wally World and the 2,000 or so vendors who service them are growing- great area to develop 100 houses or more at a lick.

Some of these vendors do rather mundane tasks in such volumes they have to farm out all over the nation. Take for instance, something you probably never thought of. All those labels, stickers, advertising signs that are found in the store, plus the newspaper inserts and ads, amount to a huge amount of printing. Printing offices here print for things that are delivered from the local warehouses directly ready to set in the store. Prices can be far different in one store to the next. And all that is sorted, coded, and printed from various printers across the nation as well as in the area of the warehouse.
