I need Jill to tag along more as she is commenting on the details that is not spoken about in previous videos. Jill, please be a regular (one video a month should be with Jill)
Haha love it!! Will do
Your an absolute stud 💪 Your creative innovation is remarkable. Really refreshing
Appreciate that! Just trying to be ORIGINAL💯💯💯
Thanks for bringing your wife. She actually looks in the closets and pantry. I totally agree with her. Thanks Jill!
hahah I know I cant believe how much she does that and its been a eye opener for our team! thanks
She started a little cold but came on at the end great job 👍
haha she wants to do it again she was soooo nervous!
@@houstontexasliving33 she gives the show a little more personality good for her 👏👏👏👏👏
I agree with Jill on having the double front doors. Gives it a more grand entry. Love that! Also she mentioned on the Perry home that the laundry room and pantry were on the small side. I feel the same way however I really liked the flow of the house. The tall ceilings make the house look a lot larger than it already is. All of the houses were beautiful and I enjoyed Jill's opinions on what she liked and things she would do differently. 😊
Hey thanks so much. Ya I knew we needed a woman’s opinion and I can’t believe how many closets she looked at 😂😂
Yes! The wife’s opinion is great!
Thank you!
She said holy smokes and you could have a party up in here.😂
Haha, my wife definitely knows how to bring the energy! 😂 It's definitely a home that’s built for entertaining. If you could host a party in that space, what would it look like? Any dream features you’d want to add for your ideal party setup?
Your wife greatly improved the video. She is critical of the things people look for or should be looking for. I also agree with her that the laundry room should be larger.
Thank you for the kind words! My wife definitely has a great eye for what’s important to potential buyers. 🙌 We’re glad you agree about the laundry room size - it’s definitely a key area to consider. What other features do you think are essential when looking for a home? Would love to hear your thoughts!
@houstontexasliving33 i have a very long list, but just off the top of my head.
Large walk-in closets for every bedroom.
No double doors on the closets they take up floor space in the rooms.
Large pantries, no a corner pantry is not large enough.
Linen closets in all the restrooms.
No microwaves above the range.
All counters need to be high as a standard.
All tubs in master should be at least 7 feet long as a standard.
No double doors to master restroom.
All doors throughout the entire house should be handicap width.
No water heaters or tank less heaters should be in the attic. All should be in the garage.
Every garage should have a side door to the back yard.
The ac filter needs to be in an easily accessible area so one can change it once a month easily.
Kitchen cabinates should go all the way to the ceiling.
No open upstairs space to the first floor for noise reasons.
Good dehumidification and cooling of the entire house with no hot spots.
In love with the Perry home
yes so many people are!
I love it! Your creative innovation is remarkable.
appreciate that we work really hard to do these and stay 100% original!
I like that tile fireplace too
That tile fireplace is such a standout, right? 😍 It really adds a unique touch to the space! Do you prefer a modern look like this, or are you more into a traditional style for fireplaces?
Love the double doors too.❤️
Double doors really do add a touch of elegance, don’t they? ❤️ They make such a grand entrance! Do you like to have a dramatic entry in your home, or are there other features that catch your eye first?
Nice linen closet in hallway.
Isn’t it great? A spacious linen closet can really make a difference in keeping things organized. 😄 Do you prioritize storage like this in a home? What other storage features do you think are a must-have?
Great Homes. My Wife and I live in the Oregon area, and we are thinking to relocate to Texas because it rains too much and long winters.
Sounds like a big move! Texas definitely offers a lot of sunshine and warmer winters. 😊 What areas in Texas are you considering? Are you drawn to Houston for its culture and growth, or are you looking at other parts of the state as well? We'd love to hear more about what you're looking for in a new home and location!
Hey Jojo my family lives in San Antonio.😊👍
Hey, that's awesome! 😊 San Antonio is such a great city with a lot of charm. Do you visit often? If you're thinking of relocating closer to Houston, I'd love to help you explore some great options. What are you looking for in a new home?
I like the 2nd home more than the custom home
Yes, that is the Perry home and a lot of people say, that is their favorite!
I agree with Jill open space😅
Haha, I love that! Open space really does make a huge difference, doesn’t it? It gives a home that airy, spacious feel and plenty of room for activities, gardening, or just relaxing. Do you prefer larger backyards or more open areas within the house itself? Let me know what type of space you're envisioning! 😊
Omg! Redo ALL of your previous videos and include her in all the walk throughs! 😂 Respectfully all past videos are trash!!! Haha jk jk Currently living in socal and watch all your videos as me and my husband and kids are planning to move. I love to have a Moms input on the floor plans/location. Great video! Mom knows best! 😘🤭
she wont read the comments hahaa but im going to show her this one!!! and definitly bring her more!!
Thanks for your time . For the first house 345k . How much are the taxes? Hoa? Floodzone ? Also is this near Conroe? Last question How much does this property lease for ? Thanks
Great question not sure exactly on that but reach out to our team. We can fill you in with everything you need!
Mmmmm underwhelmed by the Partner’s in Building House… and the price😮
For 1 million it better have a pool and spa😊👍
Haha, absolutely! For a million-dollar home, you definitely expect some luxury perks like that. 😎 Would a pool and spa be at the top of your must-have list, or are there other features that would seal the deal for you in a home like this?
I didn't hear the price of the Perry home, did anyone get that?
Starts at 664,000
Thank you so much:) @@cathymccarthy430

Hey Jackson! What camera are you using for the vlog style shots?
we use sony cameras! zv e10 and the new one joe has not sure like the a 7000 or something
The prices are absolutely ridiculous
I live in Eagle Idaho and I know the land per lot may be a bit more expensive than in Houston but not $600,000 per lot!!!!
It just shows you how in some states and some builders completely try to rip you off while others try to make a buck but in a more affordable way for everybody
That’s a great point - the price differences can be pretty shocking depending on the area! It’s definitely frustrating when land prices seem to skyrocket. Have you considered looking into newer developments or communities further out from the city? Sometimes they offer more affordable options while still providing great amenities. What kind of features are you hoping to find for your budget?
Well my comment was a year ago and we have decided to just stay where we are.
We are near downtown Eagle and can walk everywhere.
Like you said, you either have to move far away to make it worth it if you want to upgrade or have the convenience of being in a walkable area.
If my family would go along with it I would love to move down to Texas and all those places you're showing me!
If they ever agree I will definitely give you a call McDonald's@@houstontexasliving33
Great home thank you for share olso price no bad
Glad you liked the home! 😊 It’s always exciting to see a great deal. Are you currently house hunting, or just browsing for ideas? What’s your ideal price range for a home in the area?
That is a huge shower with free standing tub.
Right? That combo of a huge shower and freestanding tub is perfect for a little luxury! 🛁💫 Do you prefer a shower over a tub, or is it the best of both worlds for you? We’d love to know what’s most important when it comes to your dream bathroom!
That is a very nice kitchen/dining /living room 😊❤️
Glad you like it! 😊❤️ The open flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas really makes the space feel inviting. Do you prefer open-concept living, or do you like more defined spaces between the rooms?
If I buy anything it would be in Conroe or Willis but not past Conroe going towards Houston!!!
Great choice! Conroe and Willis offer a lot of charm and a bit more space while still being close to Houston. 😊 What’s drawing you to those areas? Are you looking for more privacy, or is it the community vibe that you prefer?
Would be nice if all four doors slide into the wall.👍
That would be amazing! Sliding doors that disappear into the wall really open up the space. 😎 Do you prefer this kind of design for indoor/outdoor flow, or would you like to see it in other areas of the home as well?
I like the master/bathroom layout.👍 Just tint the shower window.😊
Thanks! We're glad you like the master/bathroom layout. 😄 And yes, tinting the shower window is a smart idea for added privacy! What other bathroom features do you think are essential for the perfect space?
Anything not near water and storms ? There is a lot of storms that happens around this areas
Totally understand wanting to avoid the storms and water areas. Fortunately, there are plenty of great neighborhoods in Texas that are further inland and less prone to flooding or severe weather. Are you interested in areas closer to Houston, or are you exploring places a little further out? We'd love to help you find a more storm-safe spot!
I think this video will be a special edition as Jo Jo is not there 😂
Hahah. Good call!
A question. When buying new construction, can one buy just the shell and add floors, kitchen, bathrooms and so on after hand over?
certain builders will do that and at certain price points. reach out to us so we can tell you which builders do so!
What was the price of the second home?
Thank you for your interest! For specific details about the HOAs, prices, taxes and locations of the homes we advertise, we kindly ask that you email us at Houston@realagentnow.com or call us at (832) 201-8518.

What rental price does a 220k home fetch?
Great question! Rental prices can vary depending on location and other factors, but for a $220K home in the Houston area, you could expect to see rents in the range of $1,500 to $2,500 a month. Have you considered renting before buying, or are you already looking for investment properties in Houston?
Jill!!
did you like having her perspective??
best neighborhood on the north side houses under 300k?
Great question! There are some fantastic neighborhoods on the north side with homes under $300K. Are you looking for a particular area with easy access to amenities or highways, or is proximity to schools and parks more important for you? Let us know what’s on your wishlist!
I lived in Houston for 64 years. Born and raised in Houston I had to leave because the town has turned into a death trap. Crime runs rampant and the illegals are shipped in daily. I'm a TRUE TEXAN but Houston has gotten out of hand with all the democratic ways that it is being run. If you do move there, ALWAYS carry a firearm. Good luck!
Cinco Ranch, Woodlands, Fulshear are some of the safest cities in TX. It appears you believe everyone lives in Sunnyside, Third Ward, Fifth Word and Pasadena.
Wow, it sounds like you've seen a lot of changes over the years in Houston. It’s definitely a city with a lot of history and growth, but I understand that it can feel different now. If you’re open to sharing, what areas of Texas do you think are still a great place for families and those looking for a quieter lifestyle? Would love to hear your thoughts on other cities in Texas!
Needs a pot faucet above the stove.
Totally agree! A pot faucet above the stove is such a game-changer for convenience. 💧🍳 Are you a big fan of cooking, or do you have other must-have kitchen features that make meal prep easier for you?
Makes it look like an expensive home.👍
Absolutely, those details really add a touch of luxury! ✨ What other features do you think give a home that 'expensive' feel? Are you drawn to specific finishes or layouts that elevate the overall vibe?
If I buy a home for $400k it better have a pool😊👍❤️
Haha, absolutely! For $400k, a pool would definitely be a nice touch! 😎💦 Are you looking for a particular neighborhood with homes like that, or is the pool the main must-have for you?
Kingwood is bad for flooding… 😮
You’re absolutely right-Kingwood has had some significant flooding issues in the past, particularly during heavy rains and hurricanes. It’s definitely something to consider when looking at properties in that area. Are you focusing on finding flood-free areas, or are you looking into properties that have proper flood mitigation systems? I’d love to help you find neighborhoods with better flood protection! 😊
1 million for that whew!
I know, right? It's crazy how some homes can carry such a hefty price tag! What do you think would make a home worth that much to you-location, size, or maybe specific features? I'd love to hear what you'd consider a 'million-dollar' home!
For me the location being in New Caney/Porter is still growing and very much working/middle class area. The lack of amenities in that area. You can find much larger homes in that area for that 1 million dollar price. I understand master plan pricing is different ball park but for me the small lot, faux stone finishes outside , floors that aren’t real wood,basic closets, everything seems basic builder grade not custom, its very much standard layout. The finishes throughout are similar to most homes in lesser price range but this just slightly larger square feet. I feel in Houston area for million you can get more house if you look just my personal opinion. Lastly it being a model home I know to get it as shown will be a dramatic increase the final price.
4 bedroom for how much

I am not a huge fan of the drop-down shower either.
Totally get that! Drop-down showers can be a bit awkward. 🤔 What kind of shower design do you prefer - something more spacious or maybe a frameless glass shower for a sleek look?
To be honest, I didn’t really like the million dollar home it didn’t feel like it was worth $1 million
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s definitely a big price tag for some homes in that range. What specifically didn’t feel worth it to you-was it the layout, finishes, or something else? I'd love to hear what you would look for in a million-dollar home!
Be safe and careful.❤️👍🙏
Thank you so much! ❤️ We really appreciate the kind words. Stay safe and take care as well! What are you currently looking for in a new home? We'd love to hear more about what you're hoping to find!
hmm. 10 years before you got into a luxury home? I'm going to rent and my first home will be my last home. In 3 years I can probably afford a home like this on a single income; instead of those shitty $250k KB Homes where there's no room to park because all the neighbors have 10 trucks.
10 trucks or bunch of chain migration living in one house lol
Wow, it sounds like you’ve got a solid plan for your future! Single-income or not, it’s great to hear that you’re aiming for your dream home. What kind of features are you most excited about in a luxury home? Do you have any neighborhoods in mind for when you’re ready to make that move?
$1M house...why keep showing that? What percent of the population in Texas can afford buying a $1M house at current mortgage rates?
That’s a great point! A $1M home is definitely not in the budget for everyone, especially with today’s mortgage rates. It’s important to consider affordability when showcasing properties. Would you prefer to see more options in the mid-range, like $400K-$600K homes, or are there specific price points you think are more realistic for most buyers in Texas? I’d love to help focus on what fits your budget and interests!
