In my opinion, some of the resale homes under distress are real bargains at this time. I would not buy a new home in Stonebridge for this reason.

I doubt that this home will be sold for less than $900k. I also went inside and thought that it was not great but okay. The dead grass is a minor problem and cleaning can be done for very little money.

The health aspect of power lines is an inevitable issue in buying a home, especially if the property is near a “drop zone.” Whether there is sufficient evidence to support contentions of health risks associated with living near electric towers is not the point here. Rather, it is consumer perception that will always prevail, and if a buyer entertains such health concerns, he will have second thoughts about buying a home that is adjacent to power lines.
The “eyesore” factor and the extent to which it comes into play will depend on how attractive the other features are. Some buyers may be willing to overlook the power lines near the home he is buying if he sees more important benefits such as good schools, quality construction, unique features, or even great neighbors. It is a trade-off exercise dictated by buyer preferences.

Lastly, how difficult is it to re-sell a house near electric towers? Well, the owner/seller knows exactly what issues will be encountered by potential buyers, having been a buyer himself. Health. Cosmetic. Additional concerns such as value and length of marketing time will have to be taken into consideration, and sellers should be prepared. Expect that there will be buyers who will pass on this house for concerns stated above, and it may stay on the market for a longer period of time, consequently putting a downward pressure on the price.
This home is nicely upgraded and could probably sell for $900k at a different location without the power lines. I agree, that you should try a low ball offer in the high $700k even. I doubt that anybody will pay the asking price.

We also visited the models and felt that they are probably nicer than the Serenity and Montoro (as far as we could tell as models are not finished yet). The latter phase lots (on the same street as the models) have definitely better views. As far as the pricing goes we felt that you will have to add a lot for upgrades which adds a significant amount to the initial price. Compared to Serenity or Montoro you will get a better quality home for a slightly higher per square foot price. We are strongly considering one of these homes but would like to wait a little to see how the finished models look like.
