Wait isn't this home like ~3500 sqft? Don't see master retreat or bonus room conversion downstairs. How did the 3795 came about? Just curious. Congrats on closing. I remember you had mentioned you and/or your father was grabbing one. Those people that sold in January kinda oof it. But I...

Yep. Looking at pictures for 131 Evergreen they did a lot via developer route. Waterfall countertop which Toll was asking 10-20K for, master retreat added another 50-70k as well (but you do get more square footage). Bathroom upgrades alone probably cost them another 30-50k in overpriced design...

Five Point is its own publicly listed company (a poor performing stock at that heh). Not owned by Lennar. Though they are heavily related as Five Point basically spin-off from Lennar and I'm sure Lennar still owns a large stake in the company. Five Point's current CEO was a previous C-suite at...

Woops yeah that should have been another dead giveaway. Knew something else was off.

I think you've hit all their positives spot on and are mainly why we bought in (at last year's pricing anyways). We had seriously considered The Summit previously given its square footage (it was the Del Ray plan if I remember right) but ultimately decided to go with our Orchard Hills place...

FWIW in two of the evergreen models they went with floating stairs system which removes the closet below the stairs in standard option. But yeah all of them have quite small pantry considering the home size. Something we'll have to live with.

I mean are you working with an agent? Seems like that'll be their job to secure you more. For a new build I'd think most agent would happily rebate half their commission to you as well. If you're not working with one, you're basic saving the developer that much on the sell so maybe push that...

Honestly lake and area is pretty dried up and hasn't looked nice at all in a long time imo...

This place is finally having its model grand opening just FYI There's an RSVP link on the homepage but doubt it's really needed. (Plus no longer works) It's for this weekend (sat and sun) at 11 to 6pm if I recall correctly. There was also a broker preview earlier this week and they invited...

Agreed. It's not like I've drove to all corners of Irvine before but we don't have views like that here. Plus there's only a so many T-Mobile locations and a quick search on Google map shows that none of the locations are in a plaza like this. At first I had thought this was an old picture for...

Doesn't sound like it as lots are starting to become available and they stopped the silly auction ordeal awhile back Things took a quick turn around May I'd said (which basically matched what we saw elsewhere on the market). In fact, prices crept down ever so slightly for Evergreen. Till...

having our framing walk-through in the coming days for our Sagewood home. the last time we went to see most of the phase 1 homes have their exterior finished and the models are coming along nicely (the model for Sagewood has floating staircase, an inversed in-law suite build to make the bedroom...

ah sorry things got busy with work and missed this. we're actually in phase 2. we skipped on the second half phase 1 pickings as we didnt like the lot. yeah cash buyer and basically it works easier if you've worked with the TB sales reps before.

So our Evergreen lot foundations are in and seems like they're on track for a late Summer delivery. All Evergreen homes are now being sold for 2 mil+ Guess market can still support it. It sounds like all Meadows homes went up 10k+ in current phase. (In lieu of the +5k from previous phases)

I always like these OC other real estate thread becoming a XYZ vs Irvine thread eventually but then again it's TI. Anyways update on our lot. (We are moving from Orchard Hills to Meadows). I mentioned elsewhere but we are moving away form Irvine public schools and will enroll our kids at...
