FYI: I thought I'd pass this information along to anyone looking in Carmel Valley to buy. No, I won't pass judgment on whether it's time to buy or not, just passing along information. So don't shoot the messenger.

There are currently 2 units in Derby Hills (Pardee development in Carmel Valley) for which the buyer couldn't perform.  One is a plan 1C and the other one is a plan 2A. Both units are already built.

1c is being sold for $1.182 million with some options already thrown in. In addition, builder is adding $35k in "choose your own remaining options" (flooring, outside stuff, etc i believe). If you work with their preferred lender which said would meet/or beat other loans, they'll add $15k on top of that. If you walk in with an agent and have the agent sign you up, they are giving the agent $25k flat fee, which you could work out a deal to split this with your agent. These are just what the builder threw out when hastily asked. You probably will be able to get more through further negotiation.

The Plan 1C appears to be 3500sqft, with 4 bed,3.5 bath, with a bonus room, 2 car garage with a separate attached workshop (don't try to fit a third car in the workshop, it won't work). The bonus room could have been a 5th bedroom, except the home has already been built so I doubt Pardee will modify it. I believe the location of this unit is north/south facing, which is decent. But it has no view.

A 2A plan is being sold for 1.194. Didn't ask about the incentive, although I would assume the same holds true.

The Plan 2A appears to be  3800sqft, with 4 bed, 4.5 bath, with a bonus room, 3 car TANDEM garage (again, don't try to fit 3 cars in the garage, it won't work), The bonus room could have been split into a 5th bedroom + an option loft. But again, the home is already built so I doubt Pardee will modify it. I believe this unit is east/west facing, and it also has no view.

Currently, Plan 3 is still sold out with a list of waitlisted people.
