Have you lived at Harveston?

[Anonymous]

I will tell you what….I have lived for 5 years on an acre of land in the hills in a 5500 sq ft home, and I have recently moved to Harveston. Even though the homes are small and the lots are tiny…I would rather live here than anywhere else at this point in time. People get so caught up in keeping up with Jones that they forget to enjoy life….I know because that was my family. Harveston is more than a place to live it is like a family. The people are the nicest I’ve ever met, and the atmosphere is active, fun loving, family oriented, and down to earth. Every time I take my kids to the park that is just steps from my home I meet some nice family and end up chating for hours.

TWRAY, yeah, I did like the vibe I got when I toured Harveston. I haven’t been in there enough to determine how much of an elitest attitude the people in the community have (which I don’t care for), but then again, you’ll find that in most nice communities. I’m seriously considering purchasing a house there. I like the lake, and of course, the schools are good.

Never lived in but visited often.
My in-laws tried the whole it’s better here thing in Harveston. Did not work out for them. Just off the lake near the pool house. Probably the most ideal spot. They had all the pluses for the place going for them. Kids, location, etc. etc.

None of that matters now. It comes to basic math. No one can hold out long enough to survive being underwater on the mortgage. The real average household income for the residents are 50-70k. That pencils out to homes from 150-350. We are no where near that.

The build out has stopped (unfinished pads in the SW area). The teaser loans are only 2-3 years old for most of the homes. The HOA is low because most purchases at the end had that thrown in for 1 or 2 years. Banks with REO’s ignore HOA fines, foreclosures don’t pay HOA’s.

I did a tour of the Repo’s, the sales center is a repo next to the pool house. You have lot’s of choices and a lot more to come.

Don’t be in a hurry to Buy into the dream. Harveston is not going anywhere. Give it another 2 years or so (2012 is better) to weed out all the bad loans.

Dont’ buy on the lake or near the big park. Too much traffic and parking is taken up by everyone who can’t bother to walk to the lake or park. Aim for half way between the park and lake on the south side along the landscaped paths. Save up for a downpayment. The only thing that will matter in the future is 20% skin in the game.

It is going to get worse for the IE and the rest of us. ID some lots in REDFIN as favorites and sit back and watch.

Thanks for the info, Hold out. At the peak, I didn’t think I’d ever get into Harveston. I wasn’t willing to pay the ridiculous prices anyway. With the turn the market has taken, now I know I can. I’ll be ready to buy in a year of two with my 20% down, so I’m waiting it out anyway. I did think a lakefront home would be relaxing and ideal, but you threw in some considerations I hadn’t thought of (traffic, parking). Anyway, we’ll see.
