And the short sales/foreclosures always have shown signs of neglect…people who either didn’t want to take care of their homes or didn’t have the money to maintain…We figured Mission Ranch is about 100k overpriced but we can pick everything we want and slowly do upgrades….planning to take standard flooring and then replace later. We are mainly going to do structural upgrades with builder and do cosmetic upgrades after market. We signed the contract and are content.[/quote]

Congrats on your purchase!

I really don’t think, unlike in 2005-2007, the market will do that poorly. I’m not saying it’ll rocket up, but unlike back then, everyone buying around you now have the income and assets to support their purchases now with underwriting so hard now.

Also agree that new home insulation is tons better. It’s 100 degrees out.

Congratulations OTSL!

My husband and I finally stopped by yesterday as we live in the area and like to look at model homes.

We were pretty shocked to learn that they are already almost sold out!

If I understood correctly, the woman there said that the model homes opened in August, and there are only 3 units remaining (two regular lots and 1 of the 2 models). The remaining ones are somewhere in the region of $1.0-1.1M. I think there were 25 units total in the development.

Both plans are nice… yard size excellent. I especially liked the “casita”/”game house” in the back yard of model 2. It looks like the first families are moving in to the neighborhood now.

I still like my own part of 4S (“Talavera” in the Deer Trail region) for the money but these are nice too.
