ParticipantI say pay the mello roos. but factor that in in your offer and get the purchase price as low as possible.

ParticipantFieldstone is getting forclosed by SDNB. So yes, they do need to make deals to get cash.
The key is go in on your own without a realtor. builders factor that 3-5% commission into the final cost. therefore a buyer without an agent will get a much better bargain, provided they are gutsy enough to put in that low ball and are savvy enough to not give in when the builder comes back with a counter offer that’s too high.
but also be very careful with these builders in trouble. make sure there’s no outstanding liens on the house. perhaps make sure that you can get your deposit back if the property was found to have liens against it during escrow.

ParticipantI’ll take $500 a month anyday. I’m not in SDG&E zone, I use Edison and SoCal Gas, but my combined bills are at least double that, sometimes triple in the summer w/AC usage.
how do we get averages of utility bills based on zip code?
an analysis of difference in utility cost from near coast (carmel valley) to 20 min coastal (poway) to inland (diamond bar) may help us understand more about that all important “coastal premium.”
