Geez first thing to do is remove those lamp posts. Well done with improved colors it really fits well with the architecture style. I'd say add one large oak tree at the right-corner of the driveway and make a narrow backyard with another single tree or bushes with some wooden fencing.

That rating is too high imo

The roof might look better with more contrast in the texture, maybe some noise added. Right now it looks so flat.

Well because it kinda looks better than the real-life version, which is usually pastel colored walls with light-gray roofs.

5) Suggestions for improvement:

The new colors do wonders.  Away with the lamp posts (duh!  ), floor count set to 1 or 0 (so we don't have the weird line in the large windows), a tree or two in the back, maybe table and chairs on the patio. And can we please get the concrete to connect?! Damn that bothers me   Also are those bushes in front floating?

5) Suggestions for improvement: What Avanya said! I actually like this house because it's pretty generic and gives suburbs a certain US-style feel. I really like the improved roof colours on this one.

With the new roof colours it looks really nice:

5) Suggestions for improvement: YARDDDDDDD !!   I'm just trying to quickly figuring out the layout... Do you think they based their model on something ? Proportion might be completely out, I don't remember the size of one square....

Probably Google Images.
