I took another look at Trieste with my honey last weekend. Maybe our paths crossed in one of the models.
Well my woman likes the houses very much, saw bunch of kids running around the neighborhood, I think Trieste feeds into the Carlsbad Poinsettia elem. She wants me to start negotiating, I think her nesting instinct is kicking in. I’m probably gonna prepare to throw a low ball on one we liked, and see where it sticks. I’m lining up a few prequals now, hoping to get a few for comparision shopping, I’m sure that they will want to throw some incentives for financing thru builder’s affiliated lender. It will be interesting to see the rate premium they pad the market rate for those “incentives”. I will need to do the analysis. I’ll just getting a standard 30yr fixed conforming. Thanks Freddie or Fannie.
Took at look at the community pool, looks very nice. Large pool, with gym, and cabanas and all.
Overall a very nice location, we made a 1/2 day out of it, checking out the environs. The drive to South Carlsbad beach, Ponto is about 5 minutes. We shopped a bit at the REI in Encinitas, watched the sunset over the water and then had dinner at Kings Fish house near legoland, how romantic (sunset that is, restaurant was a bit loud, but food good). I scored some points with my lady that day.
