We purchased a home 6 months ago, it's new construction, but when it is completed, the house is built below the curb. It is at risk of flooding. When we brought this to the sales rep. she told me that the sales manager agree to let us choose another new home and apply the deposit toward to the new purchase. Few days later, the sales rep. contacted me again and said the verbal agreement is no longer valid.

I have 3 choices, 1, proceed the presnet home 2, cancel the contract and lose the deposit 3, find an arbitrator.

We purchased this house on June 27, 2004. We purchased the 2319 square foot house in the Plum Tree Subdivision. Since we acquired the house, we have had a nightmare of problems that have not been fixed or they were fixed 2 yrs after we moved in. There are many problems that were found prior to signing for the house. These issues, prior to signing, were addressed with Pete and John B. on the final walk thru. There are still problems that were not addressed back then that are still present. There are also numerous problems that we have found along the way that are still not correct.

I'm going to list the problems that we have found with the house since we moved in. All of these problems have been documented with the Customer Service Representatives that were assigned to the Plum Tree Subdivision at the time. These list of problems, are coming from the copies of the Homeowners Warranty Request Form that were provided to us by the Customer Service Representative for the area, plus additional forms that we have from KB.

1. Move plug in the laundry room.

2. Dining room light, add support.

3. Shingling on front (per conversation with John)

4. Flashing on side of garage

Form "Questions about our home" lists the following items:

1. Please replace 2x4 at end of short wall on hallway side as wood is damaged

2. #2 bedroom has water damage to floor near door. Please replace boards on floor.

3. Roof leaking from vent in bedroom #2

4. Shingles under the master bedroom closet window still not fixed

5. Please take down sheetrock in bed #2 ceiling until roof fixed. Water dripping onto from up top

Form "Questions about our home" lists the following items:

1. Wrong color towel bar, soap holder and toilet paper holder. Bone color is supposed to be inside shower. And we paid for nickel colored towel bars and toilet paper holders in all 3 bathrooms

2. Why is railing on left side and not the right side

3. Roof has now been seen by John B and Chad. Leak in #2 bedroom. Ceiling also needs to be fixed

I invested most of my life savings for my home.I was led to believe I was buying a well built house,much to my surprise,it has turned out to be a nightmare (a house from hell)not only for me but 192 other home buyers. I had many complaints about shabby flaws I found after moving in,they were fixed. The sign coming into the site read,you live here we cut the grass. They failed to tell us they wouldn't cut the common ground, my property has been surveyed and staked out and the hill behind me is my property not common ground. Other areas here have erosions and we were led to believe that these hills including mine would have ground cover to prevent the washing away of my property.

Behind my property was the KB office and had a parking lot big enough to be common use for the residents. Greed entered into the picture and they built three homes.

Another misrepresentation by KB home reps. when I first moved here as every other tenant our assn. fees was 83.00 a month for the grass cutting and a sewer systems. ( Overated septic tank) At the present we are paying 110.00 a month and only get our grass cut and no pinestraw , no tree trimming. Greed entered into the picture again by KB Homes and instead of buying an easement to run our septic system on they leased private property for 5 yrs. Said property has been sold and the complete sewer system has been turned over to HOA. If the owners of this property so chooses to shut down entry to our septic system I guess we will have to build outside johns.

In November 2002 we purchased a home from kb homes. It was called an affordable home through kb and our city. We were told there were restrictions they told us we could not sell the home for over the median income we could not rent it out and it was a 15 year restriction. we recentlr received a letter from the cit stating we were out of compliance we should not havr refinanced and were not allowed to have a swimming pool. There are 28 out of 45 homeowners in our same situation. The city wants us to rapid pay our mortgages down so that we are in compliance.

We feel we were misled by Kb homes and now we will all suffer financially if we are forced to pay our mortgages down faster. Kb also financed most of the homes.
