The KHOV house @$319,000 has gone pending. The MLS indicated it would be a multiple offer, highest & best situation with offers to be reviewed yesterday, so I would guess there were actually multiple offers and a bid-up. I will try to remember to update and post my Morgan Hill spreadsheet.
PatentGuy – I am happy with Morgan Hill. I live there in a single level house and each McMillan tract has a single level plan: (sq. ft. approximate)
Artessa – 2050 sq. ft.
Cristal – either 2050 or 2450, depending on option to convert 3rd car tandem to bed/bath
Montevina – 2450 or 2650, depending on option to convert 3rd car tandem to bed/bath
Additionally, KHOV had a nice 3100 sq. ft. single level plan.
Shea Homes only had large 2 story plans on compact lots.
Ventana has only very large single-level homes of 4500 to 5500 sq. ft. on lots of at least 1/2 acre.
The homes in Morgan Valley are not part of Morgan Hill and do not have access to the common area facilities.
Regarding the gates, I can only say that the best defense is to get to know your neighbors and to get an alarm system. I have relatives in a gated community in Tustin Ranch and I never have to be buzzed in, I just tailgate in after someone. Residents are always going in and out and it’s easy to follow through before the gates close. I believe the only way a gate works as it is intended is if there is a guard, not just a gate.
I perhaps could help you with the realtor recommendation. I’m a broker but I don’t work in the field, I just got the license as an enhancement to the other professional certification I hold and I always represent myself on transactions. I have relatives here that have been in business for 20+ years and really know the area. I sure wouldn’t take it personally if you spoke with them and decided not to work with them, but who knows, perhaps it would be a good fit. If you’d like their name, email me at [email protected]. (fake name everyone)
