Run and Run FAST from any house from Contry or Maplecrest.
Once again just do a Google search on them.

Thumbs up I live in a Contry Home

I live in a Contry Home and have had zero issues. After a year, I had some drywall cracks, but after I called them, a Contry Homes service guys took care of the cracks. My subdivision is next to a Maplecrest one and I know several people who are unhappy with their Maplecrest home (very drafty and poorly constructed). When my neighbors called Maplcrest, they were ignored. The homes look similar, but my Contry Home is holding up much better.

We are actually thinking about moving into a bigger home and are definately going to buy a Contry Home! You cannot beat the value with Contry. Read the earlier posting, their homes appreciate very quickly!

I hope this helps.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I heard from my real estate expert that Three Hammer homes are not well built? I'm no expert, but I guess it's all who you talk with. I'm happy with my Contry Home.

I stand corrected with the two being owned by the same person. I was told different by a person who came out and fixed the problems my Maplecrest home had and yes they did fix them and then I SOLD it as fast as I could.
You are right when you say they appreciate I paid $139,000 new and two years later I sold it for $169,000. It was more of timing then anything else. I see these same houses now on the market for $145,000.
Do your homework
