About the RE in the southeast US. You don;t just get a house that is unfinished and a dirt yard with your NEW house. You get 100% finished and turnkey, including huge moldings, crown molding, hardwood flooring, tile bathrooms, 100% finished yards with sprinkler systems, even the garages are finished and include molding. finally, don’t buy stucco here it has a really bad name and resell is difficult, brick is the best and lasts forever! however, we like light colored brick as red brick stays hot into the evening and costs slightly more for AC. you can always paint it.
