My unit won’t be ready for escrow until mid March. It’s the last batch of Stoney Creek homes being built. According to StanPac’s website, 3 homes remain for Plan 6 of Canopy Park. I’d still say drive a hard, but sane, bargain and they’ll do what they can to meet you somewhere in the middle. So if the listed price is about $400K, you can consider offering $340K (15% discount) and prepare to accept at around $360K ~ $370K.
I haven’t been back to Santee lately, since I currently live overseas. However I believe Santee’s rush hour traffic concentrates mostly on Mission Gorge Road. If you’re coming from 125 and the Mission Gorge exit seems heavily congested, you can try going onto 52 and exist from Mast Blvd to turn right to Cuyamaca. You may also be able to get off at Fanita and take either Weld Blvd. or Prospect Ave. onto Cuyamaca. But if Mission Gorge exit is not congested, it’s really only a relatively short drive to Cuyamaca and once you make that left turn, going to Riverwalk is a breathe.
