4S Ranch homes – Good time to buy?

[NotCranky]

[quote=4sranch_buyer]I am considering the Garden Walk, largest model. I feel like this is the only layout that has an open floor plan compared any others in that price range. However the fact that its a condo community is very disappointing.

They accepted the offer at $517k. Worth it? Any suggestions? [/quote]

It’s a tough call.You have to justify it for yourself. Unfortunately you don’t get much for up there for 500K.You know it is going to go down at least somewhat. I guess I am bothered by the little lots and proximity to the neighbors. This seems especially awkward with a two story. The mello roos fees and HOA bother me too.

I imagine there are trade offs involved that work for you compared to what else you could do at that price.It wouldn’t suit my lifestyle at all. Hopefully those who can appreciate that type of situation can say better.

4S Ranch has a lot of downward pressure due to hit in the next year. I’ve been watching it for a long while and it’s been pretty fairly insulated from the price decline mess. It’s coming and I’d personally pay no more than 350k for those specs but I’d have to be waiting probably a year or two to get that price.

1) Most definitely
2) Those fees (at least the HOA) won’t be going away
3) Yes there is a fire hazard but given what the big fires have done there are few areas immune to a big fire.

Having spent some time in 4S Ranch, I can definitively say it is a train wreck which has not yet happened. The area up by the new High School is still pretty nice, but the area in the valley is under huge economic strain. Walking around there my wife and I heard no less that three huge marital fights going on in just one mile. Personally I would spend some time up there and forget what the realtors have to say. It is BAD there!!!

The houses are piled right on top of each other, so I can imagine you can pretty much hear everything from your neighbors. But, yeah, I would have to say that was good but, unscientific.
