4S Ranch homes – Good time to buy?

[PadreBrian]

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.

With the budget mess maybe the County will close the Sheriff’s substation. The County got it for free from the developer and with the coming blood bath of cuts, may have to make even deeper cuts.

[quote=4sranch_buyer]We are a young working professionals considering to buy a short sale for around $516K (2300sqft) in 4S Ranch area now. Is this a good time to buy in this area? Is this area going to hold up to its value after seeing lot of comments about it being called foreclosure ranch? Our main concerns are:

1. Is this area is going to get further hit by the economy?
2. High HOA + Melloroos (almost $450 per month together)
3. Wildfire fear

Please advice!

We have done a lot of research with multiple visits to 4S Ranch and feel that homes there are quite nice except that there is not much privacy due to the small lots. Also, MR is way too high in our opinion. Unfortunately, in the price range of $500k you don’t have a lot of other options.

A question to people familiar with the new development in 4S ranch:

In the north-west corner (relative to the models of Pienza and Maybeck), there are many lots ready to build. Roads were recently paved. The question is: who owns these lands and who will be the builders? when do they start building these new communities? I think about 100 houses could be built on that piece of land.

thanks for any info.
