Hi Sdcellar, Thanks a lot for your great infor on Silhouette. can you tell us the two price reductions last year (when and how much?), but this year it seems they have not reduced the price. While the strategy of Pienza (by fieldstone) seems to release as many houses as possible to catch this spring bounce (there is a another release this Sat), which I think is a good strategy, today the sales lady told me that John Laing’s strategy is take it slow course it thinks it’ll make more money in the long run…
Hi robyns_song – was the house you mentioned Plan 1? I went to their office, and there are only two plan 1 houses (about 2500 sqft) available. One fell out of escrow from Phase 1, ready to move in, with flooring/granite countertop/steel appliances/… included, it’s funny that because they included flooring (claimed > $20K), so they actually raised the price tag to $72K from $70K (was the price at the end of last year). The other plan 1 house is from phase 2, move in date is this September.
Hi robyns_song, I agree with you on John Laing’s quality and layout, and we like Plan 2/3 a lot. If it was for plan 2 or 3, I’d think $600K would be a good deal. It seems there are quite a few in the forum interested in 4S ranch, would be nice if we can have a separate thread or something like to discuss 4s…
Hi robyns_song, which builder was this? I found that builders were notoriously hard to negotiate. It’s amazing how you could just get them down from $720K to $650K? Is it Silhouette by John Laing Homes? It’s strange to see Silhouette is not selling as well as other communities in 4S ranch like Pienza even it got the the best $/sqft value and the plans look good.
