Fun thread. When Channel Island opened up we went and got on the list, but were too far down for the list when the first lots off Quail Gardens came online. However, I called every week to see where I was and remarkably plenty of people came on and off that list. And we got offered a lot but didn’t like it. Then one day we got a call that the buyer on one of the west facing ocean lots fell through they offered it to us.
The problem was that the useable backyard was tiny compared to the ones on the side with the SW views and it kept getting smaller as they continued to mark the lots. It was the house directly south of what became the fire lane between the Saxony part of the tract and the Quail Gardens part of the tract. Plus, it was a big house and so the little backyard seemed out of balance.
Anyway, we didn’t buy it, but it goes to show that persistence can pay off.
