nice price drop down in Silhouette @ 4S ranch (~$10K/month since Dec. 2007)

[SD Realtor]

“Our Piggington’s realtors and other 4S potential buyers, do you think this is a good price now given that the Phase 1 sales release had prices in the mid 800s? Or do people really think the price will go down further this year?”

4Spotentialbuyer I am sure that if you wait long enough, yes prices will continue to fall. Not to anybodys surprise variability in pricing will be determined by demand or lack thereof which will be influenced by the recession, interest rates, unemployment, etc. It really is a matter of whether the pricing stimulates demand in the timeframe that builders need the sales.

I wish I could give you something definitive but I can’t. One thing that ALWAYS holds true though… Builders will always be more aggressive then resellers so that bodes well for you for the future phases… If you can hold out then hold out.

All this talk about the model homes, I don’t think you guys are aware that Silhouette sold the models last year to get money. My understanding is that they are leasing the models from the new owner. They sold all three models within a few days of their release and were fully furnished–we tried to prod the sales people a little, but it sounded like they all sold to one person/company…an “investor” haha.

The builder doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the early buyers being angry. They have 5 more phases to sell and then the builder will be out of there. The builders have the money and deep pockets to lower homes $100k and still make big profit and then run the hell out of SD like nothing happened.

Especialy since John Laing teams up with Countrywide, they probably had to lower the prices because no one can qualify for a loan either.

As for who said that phase 7 and 8 are the best lots are wrong, unless you like having an elementry school right in your backyard and long lines of cars parked in front of your home every morning. Ever see an event at that school after hours? They park everywhere up and down near phase 7 and 8.

I did my homework on this area and the best part of Sillhouette just sold out in that Cul-De-Sac. They have the best lots and are away from the schools and parks enough to not hear the noise, but close enough to walk and enjoy. Problem is they all got in at about 50-100k more than the current listed price.

Better to walk away or will have to short sell in the future.

I’m considering Silhouette/Chanteclair/Pienza, is it normal for builders to refuse potential buyers access to their design centers even if I reserved the house with 20K cheque?
How to make sure incentives are not diluted if the builders jack up the price of the options after contract?
