By the way, I forgot to ask, did you get yourself on the priority list so you have first pick of the next phase releases?

May 4, 2008 at 8:57 PM in reply to: nice price drop down in Silhouette @ 4S ranch (~$10K/month since Dec. 2007) #199137roughtraderParticipant4spotentialbuyer, let’s ask this question:
Given the rather minor variation between the lots in phases 5 and 6 (or with 7 and 8 for that matter), why would the builder lower the prices only to raise them later? Does that make sense? They want to lower the price to move inventory. Once they clear out the phase 5 homes, phases 6-8 are still waiting for them. To me, it doesn’t make sense to move the price up again, because that will simply continue to stall the liquidation of the remaining inventory.
My thinking is that they need to unload in a progressive, scheduled manner. They are carrying the costs of holding each unbuilt lot, and the longer they wait it appears the more money they lose. There is nothing special about phase 6 compared to 5 (although each lot appears even MORE cramped), so a higher price on phase 6 will disrupt their ideal release schedule and cost them more dime.
I think they’re going to continue to cut, and at the least, hold where they are.
Opinions?

May 4, 2008 at 6:56 PM in reply to: nice price drop down in Silhouette @ 4S ranch (~$10K/month since Dec. 2007) #199121roughtraderParticipantI prequalified with Silhouette 3 weeks ago when their prices were still higher.
I called today to confirm the price drops and $15k incentives.I first inquired about the price drops, and the lady responded with the numbers posted by the OP. However, she didn’t volunteer the information about the $15k incentives. I had to pry it out of her.
I also tried to confirm where I am sitting in the queue of their so-called “priority list” for the upcoming phases, but she said that she could not give me that information. I mentioned that her co-associate had mentioned I was number 25 on the list, but she refused to confirm it or deny it, saying that she wasn’t allowed to give me that information.
I’m pretty sure what’s going on is they know they are going to have to do at least one if not more cuts on their prices by the time they get to the build-out phases and then sell off the model homes. They are very reluctant (and nervous) to provide enough information so that the rate of price discovery in the new 4S builds becomes transparent to the public.
I have a feeling that the people who bought the earlier phases around Silver Pine road are going to be extremely pissed once the numbers start to really get down. I’m speculating, but I think we’ll see Plan A (Explorer) in the 500’s by winter. Interestingly, the best lots IMO are the lots in phase 7 and 8, and those will be going for cheapest I think.
