carmelrenter, what kind of incentive did your friend get if you can disclose. I would like to purchase in CV but it seems that Pardee Homes is not willing to give much incentives especially during the down market. I tried small talk with the sale lady in Carriage Run to get some ideas on what they willing to give (incentives or upgrades)to unload one of the specs but couldn’t get much out of her.
I prefer the Arabella and the Carriage Run but the prices are 100K+ than Portico. The one reason I don’t like Portico is the common alley way for car to get in & out with no backyard. One important thing to consider is the MR from Carriage Run is less than $100 per month whereas Portico and Arabella are much higher (about $2600 per year).
