Your in the drivers seat. They still have too many standing inventory. If you drive the projects in Temecula/Murrieta, there is just dirt lots. They are still trying to sell all of the houses they built during the late summer of 07. They just consolidated offices and had a lot of lay offs recently. This is also the same with the other builders in the area. The builders local divisions, still need to make their numbers. So, I’m almost positive you will be called to close on a house soon. My advise is, make sure that house is perfect inside and out, during your walk through. Once you give a deposit and sign docs, your are even more in the drivers seat during the inspection of the house. Their policy is not to close on a house that isn’t signed off by the homeowner as being to their satisfaction. Good luck. These are the times to enjoy being in a “Buyers Market”.
