Exactly. This house is well after the first impact point. If hit, it would be with the right horizontal stabilizer which was pretty damaged and could have participated to the tail separation which occured right after this place. But tail was already trailing on the ground before this point.
What the electrical pole arrachment story is telling is that the aircraft was already below 30 ft a couple of hundreds meter before the first impact, which was still a very long way before reaching the runway.
