My friend's uncle designs houses, with 3d walkthroughs. The software he uses is 3d home architect design suite deluxe. Its not free, but much better than modelling every part of the house yourself.
I don't know if this is applicable but CadCrazy has posted a couple of links with a thread on Blender. I'm not sure if thats good for animation but you might want to check ti out. Theres like 1 GB in video tutorials in it also.
I Think Maya and Blender are best free available softwares now a days.
Maya also provides numbers of great tutorial videos integrated with it as well as easy stepwise learning help files.
A great software for beginers by Autodesk.
thanks autodesk for Maya.
