paramount, we are obviously looking at the same stuff. I hate Stratford’s location, it shares it’s access with the high school student parking lot. Try to get there at 7:30 or 2:45, Hemingway is being smart, they blocked off the road to via Puebla while they are selling them so you can’t guage the traffic but the mile of cars backed up on Redhawk and Peppercorn to get to school will be cutting through Hemmingway once they open it. Stratford is sanwiched between the Resvervation and the school, you are part of redhawk and pay the HOA but never see any of the landscaping, you also get to hear the dirtbikes, and are a few hundred feet from the high school football stadium, try talking on the phone inside your house while there is an event there. I talked them down 100k and never brought a checkbook but that was a few months ago when they wanted 450k to start in stratford, now they advertise a lower price to start. Tell me which model you want and I’ll go see what they will offer me and then tell you. I could list a million reasons you don’t want to be there, nice houses but rotten loaction. Wolf was smart, it doesn’t connect to the school, there’s no reason to enter the development, you can’t get anywhere. Stan Pac has some sweet deals but they had a 6 month gap in starts so the standing they have now is all they will have until april. 340k for 2500 sq in cottonwood and 370 for 2900 sq in laurel, 5 3/8 fixed, 10% down with the pmi paid off by them, all closing costs paid and the first six months payments paid by them, granite, stainless and awesome flooring and a bunch of options included. That was as low as I got them for their standing inventory, I held off and it sold to someone else. Don’t even look at the models, just get a brochure, find out the best deal and incentives, then go to the next place and show them, play them into each other. It’s getting slower, they are all having cancellations, standing inventory and incentive wars. The recent repos are setting new lows and by spring they will have standing inventory with a 2 as the first number in the price. There a ton of NOD’s in the forclosure pipeline in that area.
