Thanks for posting your experience, socalarm. Much appreciated.

A bit off-topic (but still in the “trying to move a house” category), here is an e-mail I received today from the sales office at Del Sur (that’s a new place NE of Carmel Valley that’s been mentioned here before):

Great news from Cassero @ Del Sur!
If you are non contingent and able to close escrow by November 24, 2006, we have some fantastic values for you. In addition to our price adjustments we are including flooring (up to $25,000) as well as a lender incentive of $15,000. The lender incentive can be used to buy down the interest rates, closing costs or some options like epoxy flooring. Our homes have lots of upgrades already included in the prices.

These are some of the exceptional values we are offering for our paired Cassero homes.

I’d say that they’re pretty aggressive.
