    IMO – If builders don’t want to deal, check SDLookup.com

    There are many defaults and hurting people in 4Closure Ranch. Shop around. All these places are fairly new. Does it need to be brand-spanking new from the builder? There are a lot of foreclosures and desperate people out there in 4$. You can pick up something less. I just posted a place for $499k. You can low-ball some flippers who flopped. Make it a fun thing. If the builders don’t want to play, their loss. Move on. Lots of other fish in the sea of houses out there.

    I swear, sometimes I consider getting a place there, and then I do the math and I just can’t swallow a minimum of $800 a month in taxes and Mello Roos and HOAs. That is a sh*t load of money every month to live there. I can’t bring myself to do it. You’re not even near the beach. You’re not near downtown. I just can’t do it.

    But I guess if you have kids, the schools are supposed to be the best. Sacrifices.

    4spotentialbuyer,

    I have to agree with NewtoSanDiego. The sales people in 4S can see how desperate you are (or at least it seemed that way to them). Next time, when you talk to them, put on your “poker face” 🙂

    We have friends who bought in 4S last year, (not Pienza) and actually seemed to get a better deal than builders are offering now. Not really sure what’s going on with pricing at the moment, but I still wouldn’t hesitate to make an offer to the builder if you are serious. Get the name of the VP of Sales, or higher up, (that’s what our friends did) and present the offer directly to them, and see if you can make the deal you want.

    As far as the fire concerns go, we own a home in Rancho Santa Fe, and we have fire concerns, too. Even some friends in Del Mar, Santaluz and the Crosby were evacuated during the past fires. If you can stand the traffic/long drive times and airport noise, you’d probably be better off buying in Carlsbad or Oceanside, if this concerns you. Personally, I’d never live north of Via de la Valle, or south of 56.

    Useful advice—thanks for the useful advice…we may do that if we do not see a price reduction. I don’t think the salespeople think we are desperate to buy as last time the salesperson tried to talk us into a house that fell out of escrow and we told him straight out that we are not interested in that floorplan, the price was too high, and when he stated that they had no problems selling 3-4 homes per month, we told him straight to his face that he was not selling 3-4 homes/month net when they have 1-2 people dropping out from escrow and that the previous salesperson had made us a better offer. Maybe they resent us speaking the truth…

    We are starting to look around at resells as we want to get a better deal–we can’t say we want the “best” deal as we are not sure when the bottom of the market will hit with the way the federal government insists on a bail out.
