The builder gave away 2.5% of your purchased price for upgrading (you can have your own contractor or even DIY) and another 2.5% for incentive if you go with their preferred bank.

You can also get 1.5-2% commission split if you go with a buyer agent (negotiate with your agent and get 1/2 ~ 2/3 or even 4/5 of his/her 3% commission back).

~710K is the listed price, it’s negotiable – but if you go with their listed price, you can get enough upgrades/options in return.

I fully agree with SDR; “In many cases the result will be that the listing broker simply gets the CBB (the cooperating commission) so while you think you saved 2-3%, in reality you did not. “.

Even for brand new house, if you don’t have buyer agent, the listing agent will eat up buyer’s 2~3%.

I would recommend, as a buyer, take an agent with you, negotiate a good split of the commission; As a seller, do your homework, get it listed while reserve 2~3% for buyer agent, and make it FSBO.

well, the inventory for 92130 condos has been there, around ~110 in market (info from sdlookup.com), no significan changes. As of price, it seems the andalucia just reduced ~10% on 10/2 (again from sdlookup.com). Is it a close out sale, any insight, sdr?

It will not be corrected until REO/NOD hits (with ARM reset?)….

andalucia, townhomes in old CV area kept increasing their list price, from mid $400K early this year to the low $500K currently. Does the builder/seller play any price game?
