$2.9 mil? What the hell is KB Homes smoking?
Wait until you see the price for view lot tomorrow. 2.9m is going to be very attractive. KB will release 7 homes tomorrow, 4 with views and 3 none view lots. You will be surprised for how much they ask for the premium.
Don't know you that OH has a $1M guard gated community premium?
I would say $1.5M premium for view lot if it's great view. Otherwise, probably $1M.
Funny you mentioned guard gated. IP actually had Fresco lots available in OH when we put our name on the preferred waitlist in Eastwood but wife hates gated community.Don't know you that OH has a $1M guard gated community premium?
On a serious note, you can't compare to 2 years ago. 2 years ago, Ravello Plan 1 was selling around $2M. Now Cielo Plan 1 is selling at $2.6M and Cielo is considered very cheap compared to Olivewood and Azul.
I brought up Ravello and Cielo because they're almost identical. $2.6M Cielo in PS is definitely different from $2M Ravello in OH 2 years ago is what I meant. And Shea is known to be pricing low. I mean, even when IP decided to quit the construction business the last Ravello Plan 1 was selling at $2.8M last June, but that was with a bunch of upgrades.
KB is asking $4M for 2389sqft plan1X and $5M for 3256sqft plan 3X. City view lots. But other than valley and other people’s roof, you don’t really see anything else.
I agree, KB doesn't have a great reputation for their quality and they seem to do a lot of cost cutting in their homes, a good example of that is the Genoa homes that they built in Orchard Hills a few years ago which were nearly 4000 sqft and only had one dedicated HVAC unit and heating furnace for the entire home which was a complete joke! Homes of that size should have at least two dedicated individually zoned HVAC units and heating furnaces for the first and second floor, clearly a cost cutting measure by KB for the Genoa tract homes in OH!
Agreed! A clear example I noticed about the fresco KB model home is that instead of putting the solar on top of the roof tiles, they just didn’t put roof tiles at all and only have solar panels. So if you ever decide to remove the panels, you have to also add new roof tiles.
It all depends people’s preferences. To me, OH shouldnt have that much premium over PS.
How does that work? Wouldnt the rain get in with just the solar panels and no tiles?
Wow! What a cheap builder!
One of the most ridiculous stories I ever heard!
Wow, what an eyesore! Seems like the solar panels on the roof was an after thought for them and you can literally see the missing roof tiles at the front and around the solar panels, I would never buy a home from such a builder doing shortcuts like this!
