[quote=lepetitangel]Hi Scarlett,
Thanks for your advice. I cannot agree with you more.
We do like Plan 4 a lot and we do think it is still over-priced. The sales office told us they already have a bunch of people on the waitlist…not sure if it’s true. But we’re gonna wait for at least 6-months as they told us nothing is available till Dec. Meanwhile we’ll just keep on watching the market.[/quote]
You’re welcome. We were told by the sales office that the next release is in August, with move-in around February. And that the waiting list is not by type of townhome, because people change their minds. So we only have to decide in August for that release (or could postpone for the following release if you wish).

I agree that it’s not necessary to have a brand-new home. I do like CV a lot as I lived in the area in my parents’ house for the past 5 years, and it’s just real convenient for us. I’m interested in some of the older neighborhoods too, especially those with smaller SFHs with a yard. I just hope prices do come down more in 6-months.
For something that’s 600K now, I do hope it drops to at least 575K. Do you think it’s possible in 6 months?[/quote]
I think it’s quite possible, but it does not mean it will .

[quote=lepetitangel]So if it was you, would you go for a:
– Brand new townhome (2000-sqft) in Highland Village?
– or an older (1985~1990) smaller (1600-sqft) SFHs in other parts of CV?
thanks![/quote]

If it was me, with no kids, I wouldn’t move yet. not this year and not the next.

But, at the same price, I would go with the SFH – if I HAD to buy. Think about the HOA too that really adds to the price, I dunno, perhaps as much as 50K?!
As a note, if it’s just a 3 bdr, it may feel cramped if you have more than 1 kid. Grandparents nearby is a HUGE advantage, remember. Invaluable.
