I have been in the house. The front rooms in the house dont get much natural light but the rest of the house gets plenty. As I am sure you know, the light will change as the sun shifts relative to the house throughout the year. It is a north/south facing home so most of the natural light comes in the back of the house where you want it. It does not come in directly as you would have in an east/west facing home that would be much hotter so you would save a lot on your a/c.

As far as the lanscaping goes, as you know, roughly 90% of the cost of landscaping is the hardscaping (concrete patios, walls and patio covers), brininging in top soil, low voltage lighting, drainage and sprinklers. The dead plant materials represent no more than 10% of the cost in most cases and could be replaced with new grass and plants at a pretty modest amount.

As for the condition? I thought the condition was fine. It needed no more work than the average resell home I see. I asked for a got a copy of a recent inspection report that verified that.

I’m sorry you dont like it. Go find something else.

I doubt that this home will be sold for less than $900k. I also went inside and thought that it was not great but okay. The dead grass is a minor problem and cleaning can be done for very little money.

[quote=recordsclerk]Most of us on this blog have said at one time or another that Santuary by Shea is far superior to Montoro or Serenity in quality and appearance. At $895 that house is a better deal than any Serenity home on the market new or used.
Here is a sold comp that just closed for plan 1 Santuary. This is basically a single story home with two story master suite with loft.

What a great deal.[/quote]

Would have bought this place on a whim as an interim house if I had known about it.

Personally, I feel a lot of people who are still waiting are being penny wise and pound foolish. The great places are going at great prices and the interest rates of a lifetime. Prices may go down but can you afford an 18% loan? I have a long memory and 1980 seems like yesterday. Do you think our monetary policy ISN’T geared to generate inflation?

If you’re an all-cash buyer, however, maybe you can still squeeze out a few more dollars of savings.

The home is extremely dark inside. Very little natural light comes into any room. The kitchen/livingroom/great room floor plan is very awkward as the kitchen bar “straddles” both rooms. Almost all of the landscaping in the rear is dead or dying and the overall condition of the interior/exterior is rundown. You can’t base your judgement on numbers and square footage alone. You should also consider the actual condition once if you’ve been in and out of this home. Some of these things can be changed and/or improved with work, time, and $$$ but you can only do so much to a home to make it into a different home before you’ve actually just rebuilt that home.

P.S. Anyone putting an offer on that home should stop by Costco first and get a palette of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to rid every surface of the “ick” and residue. Some air fresheners wouldn’t hurt either.[/quote]

this is the classic example of why flippers are still around and will be forever and ever. a lot of buyers out there are just like this, unable to see a gem even when walking right inside of one. this is when typically a flipper will walk in, offer a low ball, get accepted, then spend $10k to tidy things up, including purchase of some Clorox disinfecting wipes. Then put it back on the market a month later for instant 6 figure profit.

meanwhile, I do believe there’s a Montoro with “free woodchipped front landscape” with ahewitson’s name on it…
