ren, that’s too broad of a question, I have a very small area that I’m looking at for a number of reasons that are particular to me so I cannot give advice on anything North of Rancho Cal because I don’t follow it. South of 79S is where my expertise is, I’ve looked at it all, seen it all built over the years and I have my faves but I’m a weird dude so don’t follow me. Your fairways choice is a good one and in my top 5, but it’s out of your sq ft parameters, 2550 is the smallest and it’s a 4br, smallest 5br is about 3000 sq ft minimum (sorry I’m not looking at 5 br so I cant quote you but their 2888 sq fter is a 4br), low br count and high sq ft is a theme in there with the exception of the small PUD lots in the East corner, it’s also something I like, keeps out the rif raf, but thats another story. Did you want my favorite specific tracts or developments overall? I don’t care about other bidders or competition right now, it’s still knife catching season, I’m tracking, not buying until at least the end of summer. BTW I know of a bunch of excellent choices in the 280-320k range for what you are looking for, but they are all repos and require a little work, cheapest sfr in the fairways is 314k and no golf course view.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I’m mainly looking for a decent-sized lot, quality construction, decent-sized secondary rooms (that is, not the typical 10×11), a view would be nice, and a 3 or even 4-car garage. I know it’s probably not likely that I’ll find a 4-car garage with a 4-bedroom at 2500 square feet, but that would be ideal. I need room for a project car and I run my business out of the garage.
Like you, I won’t be buying until later this year. I also expect prices to keep dropping after that, but I consider $250k for a newer 2500 sq ft home to be a pretty good buy no matter where it is.
Your favorite specific developments overall would be great.
