Montoro-Estatates at Stonebridge

[sunny88]

The real problem is that as long as they can find buyers who are willing to pay the full price they don’t have to make any concessions. It looks like that buyers are out there. The Mello Roos, HOA and landscaping applies to all the new homes in Stonebridge.

I think initially the buyers were out there, especially when they first opened up (since they had first choice of plenty of lots), but I don’t think any have been sold lately. Also I hear there is a certain model that no one appears to be buying. Mello Roos, HOA, landscping applies to all Stonebridge, but at least you end up living in a HUGE luxurious house for that price!

LOL! Too funny.

That guy is looking at almost two years of carrying costs come August. He’s raised his price to $1,329,000. Obviously trying to get back his carrying costs. I just don’t see it happening. Hope springs eternal.

Back when he bought it, it was almost 400k less than the 2006 price and I thought it was a good deal. Didn’t realize he was going to try to flip and the builders were selling for less than what he bought it for. Man, that must be painful.

[quote=v-ball player]This is very useful information regarding Montoro. I have a lot more info. to add. We’ve been considering Stonebridge in general. Our friends put in an offer for Montoro and discovered how totally unflexible and non-negotiable they are! They weren’t willing to bend on their price what so ever and insisted that they got full price for all their sales so far. Our friends put in 2 offers (that were low) and the developer wouldn’t even counter her!!! They insisted on the full price. One of the biggest cut corners that my friend discovered was the fact that they are using plastic pipes!!! I think they call it CPVC. When you think about it, all in all, the houses are not that inexpensive when you consider the following: ~5000 yr mello roos, 100-150K landscaping for such large lots, and an enourmous amount of $$$ it would take to upgrade it since the standards that it comes with leave much to be desired (like what was mentioned before in this post). They really need to come down in price! [/quote]

With the water shortage you will need to avoid plants that require a lot of water and get some creative landscaping to make it look good.
