    <p>Do you have the residence numbers backwards? I thought the plan 1 (i'm assuming plan 1 = residence 1) is the smallest. However, the price you put has the residence 1 the highest?</p> <p><a href="http://blog.davidmillions.com">My Own Millions Blog</a></p>

    <p>Looks like they are still trying to raise the price. Are these plans selling?</p>

    Should I buy now...?

    <p>For those that are only staying with the house purchase because of being afraid of the deposit, they should not put this into that big of a consideration. You are buying a $500,000 (or more) house. Your $15,000 is 3% of the whole price (the ratio is even less if it's $750,000). Any price...

    Where to Get Recent Sold Prices

    <p>I think the realtor would do the comparisons if the buyer is actually serious and not just in the "wait till price come down" mode. I'm in the same boat as waitingtill08 (can buy but want to wait). but have a hard time knowing the actual closing price. We are just looking at the asking...

    Builder Incentives - Taxable Income or Non-Taxable Income?

    <p>So for those of us that are not buying houses for all cash (most of us), it seems like it would make more sense if we put the money towards closing. Or it doesn't matter what you put it into, since it will be just a rebate check at the end anyway which the sales person made me think...

    401k as cash reserves?

    <p>I'm not sure I agree with the protection. I realized that in a highly developed society, we always try to keep the gap between the weathy and poor small, but I don't see why people should not be penalized for stupidity. We have these things all over the place, high taxes, social securities...

    Builder Incentives - Taxable Income or Non-Taxable Income?

    <p>The builder incentives won't be taxed because you end up buying something (house, upgrades, loans) at a cheaper price rather than receiving an inflow of cash.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.davidmillions.com">My Own Millions Blog</a></p>

    401k as cash reserves?

    <p>That is good to know (for those that do get in trouble) but I don't see the logic behind the protection. I understand that the protection keeps us from getting into too much trouble but if we owe money, why are part of our savings protected </p> <p><a...

    401k as cash reserves?

    <p>I also would never <strong>want</strong> to withdraw my 401k, but I would have a hard time believing that the banks will allow me to keep my money in my 401k if I have 400k in my retirement account and I can't make the monthly loan payments.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.davidmillions.com">My...

    <p>It sounds like the plan 2s are the only ones selling while the others are not. The plan 3s are not selling at all and I'm not sure how that is going to affect the prices of other plans. I'm sure if prices on the plan 3s drop significantly enough, it will affect the price of the plan 2s...

    By the way, do you know how many homes are still available from phase 2?

    <p>bababui - I'm not sure what the price will be in subsequent homes, but I just see that everyone was hesitate to buy a home at the phase release and all of the sales numbers indicate that the price will either go down (which is likely) or stay relatively steady. It just seemed to me that...

    They are nice and almost got us (me and my wife) to buy the plan 2s. Seriously, we would have bought one if we weren't afraid that the market was going to go down further from here. When we were there, about 1/3 - 1/2 of everyone on the waiting list showed (~15-20 groups) and from the looks of...
