ParticipantIf you’re in no rush to buy soon, then the obvious smart thing to do is wait. I’m glad to learn that StanPac will proceed to build the last phase of the Canopy Park townhouses (I had feared that they may halt the project), to the east of Stoney Creek. This will complete the community and bring HOA down by about $20/month.
If the next phase will see further price reduction by 15% – 20%, I may buy a unit as investment and rent it out.

ParticipantI agree with ibjames. I don’t think solar panel looks cool. In fact, I think it’s quite ugly and out of sync with the overall flow of a house. However I’ve always respected those willing to disrupt the look of their home in order to be green.
Even with government’s support, I believe the cost needs to come down by at least another 20% before it’s a worthy investment for average Joe like me. Looking at the technology trend, we should only need to wait about 2 more years before that price point will be reached.

ParticipantMy unit won’t be ready for escrow until mid March. It’s the last batch of Stoney Creek homes being built. According to StanPac’s website, 3 homes remain for Plan 6 of Canopy Park. I’d still say drive a hard, but sane, bargain and they’ll do what they can to meet you somewhere in the middle. So if the listed price is about $400K, you can consider offering $340K (15% discount) and prepare to accept at around $360K ~ $370K.
I haven’t been back to Santee lately, since I currently live overseas. However I believe Santee’s rush hour traffic concentrates mostly on Mission Gorge Road. If you’re coming from 125 and the Mission Gorge exit seems heavily congested, you can try going onto 52 and exist from Mast Blvd to turn right to Cuyamaca. You may also be able to get off at Fanita and take either Weld Blvd. or Prospect Ave. onto Cuyamaca. But if Mission Gorge exit is not congested, it’s really only a relatively short drive to Cuyamaca and once you make that left turn, going to Riverwalk is a breathe.
Good Luck!
