Scripps Ranch…What say you…

[Echoooo]

We looked into the serenity homes. IMO, this specific home doesn’t sell for reasons. In general, if you compare to earlier-built houses in Stonebridge, the material is cheap and the builder does cut corners in many ways. I remember someone mentioned the narrow staircase, it is very true! This particular house has two garages. They claim you can park four cars, but how possible do you stack the cars in and out. It is just not the right design for a estate house! Another thing is lack of breakfast/eating area. To me it is a major issue.

SD realtor, interested in your opinion of Stonebridge new homes and resales. What represents a better value? what is the market trend? Thanks!

Actually, the Serenity homes are selling amazingly well despite being way overpriced. As far as the quality, they are definitely not as well built as for instance the Sanctuary or even Calabria homes. Also, the homes have a breakfast area.

It is tough for me because I have a slight anti stonebridge bias built in… Don’t get me wrong I like it, and for me personally I think you get more home/land in Stonebridge then 4S but it is a tough commute in and out of…not convenient for getting groceries or basically anything. Also it is a bit lunar for me…. needs time for the trees to grow and become more lush if that is possible out there. To me it kind of sits and bakes in the sun.

I don’t mean to bash Stonebridge because as I read it, it sounds like I am but I am not. I know alot of people living there and I dont think one person I know there doesn’t really enjoy it. So I do think it will go down as more economic distress rolls out but I think it will happen slowly. The new home sales are moving pretty well there as well and I think as things slow down the builders will be forced to give some concessions as sales slow. A few posters did well in 2008 when things really crapped out up there.

I will agree with other posters that Scripps Ranch is a nice family neighborhood. I believe this tends to prop up the prices. Regarding Stonebridge, as I have posted before, there is a wide variety of pricing. We bought in SB, April 09 and really like it. We won’t talk about the squatters next door! To me the pricing seems really out of wack. So many homes are seriously overpriced, yet people will buy the home. So there is a demand that the seller/developer is filling. In my little nook there is a house for sale, 1.2 mil. No activity. Drop the price to $895,000.00 and you would probably see a frenzy of activity bidding the price up. I guess as a seller or buyer you need to be agressive and willing to invest some time to make your deal happen.
