Will Chanteclair in 4S drop in price?

[sdnerd]

[quote=DA][quote=sdnerd]I was there last weekend; I laughed at the updated sale price sheet. Still way over priced for what you get IMHO.

Now if you bought a REO there, then you might be in better shape.

Details; need them.[/quote]

Would you mind sharing the current price list and availability at Chanteclair? Are these builders willing to take counter offers on the list price? Last time I checked, they were down right arrogant about their prices and did not want to entertain any counter offers at all, especially Silhouette – John Laing Homes[/quote]

I actually have the sheets for all the divisions there. Maybe I’ll type them all up tomorrow and post them.

Here’s what is on the sheet from last weekend for Chanteclair:

Plan 1 – The Gauguin

2 out of 3 sold; 1 avail at $713,300 (2901 sq ft)

Plan 2 – The Lautrec

3 out of 4 sold, 1 avail at $711,605 (3025 sq ft)

Plan 3 – The Monet

5 out of 5 sold, high 600’s to $702k

I’m not sure how many are really available/etc, I didn’t ask or look… just strolled through the models.

Decent enough area, but by the time you add in the HOA and MR to those inflated prices. Ouch! I don’t see the appeal to 4S at those prices…

If lifeisgood will really end up living in 4S for 15+ years, he needs not to worry about the price he’s paying now. However in this difficult time, large-sized houses with strict HOA and high MR will always be at greater risk. I noticed greater % of homes on the market are either <2,000SF condos or >2,800SF houses.

Smaller condos represent investment properties to be abandoned and larger houses represent shattered dreams. The mid-sized homes (2,000SF – 2,800SF) may just be the sweet spot that more families are able to hold on to, despite the difficult time.

Thus I think the situation at 4S will be more at the 2 extremes, while the average-sized homes should fare better.

[quote=CardiffBaseball]Congrats to the OP and they’ll be excited to know that 4S is practically immune from wildfires.

I wonder how people know they’ll be here 15 years. I thought for sure I’d be here a long time and now it seems our company wants to move some people out of here.[/quote]

First of all thanks for the congrats. Secondly, I smell some sarcasm in the 4S is practically immune from wildfires comment. We both know that there is no community in SD that is immune to wildfires. You just have to get good insurance and pray. We can’t predict the future about how long we will stay in this home, but we can plan. After looking deeply at our situation, there shouldn’t be any reason we should ever have to move. Anything can happen though. Thanks
