You guys made me laugh out loud. I posted this to give you some anecdotal insights from a buyer and my take on the market environment, not to get any of your advice about wether its a sound financial decision.
Actually, the advice I’m most interested in is from Bugs…I admit to being one of those ignorant about the actual housing construction and how to evaluate it. I spoke with a building litigation attorney and he told me that KB Homes is the real criminal out there, but that Standard Pacific almost never was sued and therefore he considered them a high quality builder.
Incidently, I was at the Magnolia community in Bressi Ranch, and we were checking out the family room and someone was walking upstairs and the whole house sounded like it was about to fall apart. I was pretty shocked to experience that in a brand new $2M house…
So Bugs, what do you think about the Bay Collection? Is it shoddy construction? Whats a good example of quality construction? How can I learn more so I don’t get fleeced?
