Davis Homes

Okay.

And is it becoming more and more common for people to want a finished basement right off the bat? I know a lot of new homes, a lot of new home builders will have a basement unfinished so people can imagine what they want and do what they want.

Are you seeing a trend where people would rather do the design and get it finished right away?

It's probably a split down the middle in regards to whether people want it finished or not.

Obviously, like you mentioned, people can design it on their own, and then they might choose to do some of the work themselves and save some money.

But in this instance, it's perfectly turnkey.

They get their home, they get a walk-in, and everything's completely finished for them.

It takes all the stress, the dirt, the dust, all out of the equation.

Yeah, and move-in ready is always cool.

It makes more sense that way.

So you first have to kind of figure out what your lifestyle entails and what you want out of a home.

And then that helps us figure out how to design that home to fit you personally later on.

Yep.

And are some of the amenities that you really need to think about are the future, you know, especially if you're going to spend some time in the home? You mentioned a lot of people that are elderly, you know, they want to make sure the living, you know, the bedrooms are on the main floor rather than something that eventually they're going to have to put an elevator or a lift in.

So you should really take that into account, right?

I definitely recommend that.

Our particular home, it's It's somewhat future-proof because we have generational living on the main floor just for that instance.

Yep.
