> I like to point out that very few house builders use agile methodologies to build a home.

Home construction often has milestones that are fairly comparable: 1) competition of the structural components, 2) drying in, 3) utilities, 3) drywall and Paint, and 4) Finishing.

Each of these are phases where they could theoretically stop. There are times in history and places in the present where people live in structures that don’t have windows and doors, or without utilities, etc.

However I would agree that they’re not marketed as viable until they’re close to finished.

True - and yes you 'could' move in to a building that has just the structural components completed, but the value for the home owner is rarely released at that point.
