The builder doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the early buyers being angry. They have 5 more phases to sell and then the builder will be out of there. The builders have the money and deep pockets to lower homes $100k and still make big profit and then run the hell out of SD like nothing happened.
Especialy since John Laing teams up with Countrywide, they probably had to lower the prices because no one can qualify for a loan either.
As for who said that phase 7 and 8 are the best lots are wrong, unless you like having an elementry school right in your backyard and long lines of cars parked in front of your home every morning. Ever see an event at that school after hours? They park everywhere up and down near phase 7 and 8.
I did my homework on this area and the best part of Sillhouette just sold out in that Cul-De-Sac. They have the best lots and are away from the schools and parks enough to not hear the noise, but close enough to walk and enjoy. Problem is they all got in at about 50-100k more than the current listed price.
Better to walk away or will have to short sell in the future.
