Scripps Ranch…What say you…

[quote=localguy] 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.

without knowing all of the specifics. I have to assume localguy’s neighbor is practicing “need based pricing” rather than “market pricing.” with CityVenture’s homes closing in the high 700k/low 800k recently, how in the world does anyone expect someone to want to pay a $300/400k mark up on a resale?

Many posts have mentioned that “Stonebridge” was and still is overpriced. However, sales activity has been pretty good given the recent economic downturn. In fact, “Serenity” has sold many of their homes during the last year or so at essentially the “old” prices.”Tiburon” has sold most of their homes and even the less attractive “Montero” homes have sold. I guess that a lot of buyers are willing to pay a premium to live in Stonebridge regardless of the future. I’m curious to see how the market will look in 2-3 years. My guess is that the prices will be flat or lower.

There are always people with money who want a new home and can afford it. That is what you are seeing which may seem contrary to what you would expect in this economy but it is reality not theory.

another important factor is a new community will always get more detractors while it starts off.

the key is 10 years from now, will you have plenty of locations to compete with this new community in term of commute distance, school, weather.

if someone objectively feels that the Stonebridge location is so bad that 10 years from now it will continue to be looked at as an inconvenient location with bad schools and there will be a lot more new home locations in SD that will trump Stonebridge, then one should say so and list those alternative locations so we can finally put this debate to rest.

same with 4S and SEH. All three gets plenty of detractors here on this board. I think all three are very nice developments that if their location fits and you can get a decent price for a home you like, one should go for it and not let any negative commands here get in the way.
