Paramount– 4S has most certainly come down and will continue to do so. You must not have been tracking it that closely. I don’t follow condos, but I’m certain you can find them in the 400s and that’s still too much.

pnilesh– Assure your wife that the last thing you want to do with a new baby is get yourself trapped in a townhome that you can’t sell for what you paid into it. As soon as that baby can crawl, you’ll want a yard and more space.

I like to think I played a key part in running powayseller off the site, but I’m just kidding myself. She did that all on her own…

I shouldn’t joke though. It was really a shame that it happened and it’s sad to see someone put themselves in that position. We’ve probably all been there, you just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper… At least I know I have.

I think she has a lot to offer and that she’s really a good person. I just think this site became too big a part of her life. The lure of web celebrity is a powerful one. I certainly hope she’s happy now.

Myself, I went away for a while. I love this site and am often fascinated, amused, sickened and educated by what I find here. Oh, and I flat out love Rich’s writing style!

But, I was just spending too much time and/or had too much going on in my life. So I went from reading every single post on every single thread (see, too much), to letting the yellow envelopes pile up.

But now, I’m back reading the threads that catch my interest and posting occasionally. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to mostly call people out when I think they’ve got some tidbit wrong or at least differ with my particular world view, typically with just a wee bit of sarcasm thrown in. Probably not my most endearing trait, but since I don’t let it phase me when it comes my way, I tell myself “it’s okay.”

Anyhoo, sorry to ramble, but I do enjoy a lot of the folk who have passed through here and those that are still here, so I just wanted to pop my head up.

Alex– Not sure why you’re lumping Del Sur and 4S in with Carmel Valley. The latter may be holding (for now), but both of the former have dropped plenty. Easily over $100K in plenty of developments and resales.

You may have something with regard to the developer’s staffers, but what else are they going to say? Then again, I’ve had more than one make it clear that the builder will deal. Not in PardeeLand, of course, at least not yet…

On the deposit front, don’t know what to tell you, but folks are rightfully at risk when they cut a check. Do you suppose they thought otherwise when they handed it over?

I believe that StanPac has a significant interest in Black Mountain Ranch LLC (perhaps even a majority interest). Not saying this means it’s all doom and gloom for Del Sur, but it’s more than just than their builder presence there.

That said, of the 7 initial tracts, 4 were Standard Pacific, making them the most prominent builder to date.

I agree though, that even if they go under, someone else will come in and pick up the slack (?) on both fronts of the business.
