    Hawk,
    Personally I would take Summerhill over VP but thats just me. In Summerhill you get more sq footage, can get a decent sized yard, a better more stable neighborhood, better elementary (Flora Vista vs Parkdale Lane) and still have low hoa fees. Some SH lots even have nice views also. As a 1st time buyer you will find a VP home to be a money pit. When prices were rising quickly it was easy to refi and pull some cash out to upgrade the home. Dont plan on doing that this time around. I’d take 2000 sq ft in SH for less money than 1300sq ft in VP every time.

    sdr do you view vp homes to be money pits simply due to aging compared to SH?

    I would also take a Summerhill home for less money as well, but I do not see them going down yet to what we could afford. There are definitely nicer parts of VP than others, I agree.

    I have only been inside the Summerhill model that has two bedrooms upstairs and an office down (approx 1600 sq ft) and know it would be too small for us in the long run. The homeowners seemed cramped with two kids there. I have not personally toured the larger models but suspect they would be perfect if the price eventually comes down to what we can afford.

    I do like larger yards which are a plus in some of the older places.

    The VP condos have really gone down though. We looked 1.5 years ago and the 3/ 2.5 models were listing for 499k and they are definitely not selling for close to that now. We are trying to wait for a sfr though.

    2 years of saving should put us in a pretty good situation I hope, but then we will want to start a family and not be over-mortgaged.

    As a follow-up, 2000 sq ft summerhill comparitively priced to an sfr in VP would definitely be preferable if the price came down enough, I agree, will it do so is the question?
