what's considered a "huge" price drop? does anyone have the latest pricing?

anyone still getting info on releases at sierra? we've taken a step back (haven't refreshed on our loan prequalification) and are renting at the moment, but curious as to how they're backing down from the stratospheric pricing. i know they've been offering upgrades and/or buydown on points.

decided to push off buying for a variety of reasons and ended up signing a lease for a home in cypress village right next to floral park. initial impressions are that we really like the neighborhood and the house we're renting - nicely built with a driveway and a bit of a yard. depending on how...

what's the risk in underpricing homes? people assuming they can buy for the lower price and not willing to bid significantly higher?

weren't they having buyers bid against each other on these homes just a month or 2 ago? pretty amazing they sold as many units as they did before even putting up model homes.

there's no one to blame in this game. i trust the market to be (mostly) efficient, and everyone's figuring out where the ceiling is.

That unfortunately did not turn out to be the case - prices most certainly did go up! At this point, I'm not sure who would choose Sierra if they have a shot at a home at Highlands.

good to know. so did your dad take the home with no additional options? i believe all the releases thus far have been pre-plotted with limited upgrades made available to the owners.

was there no (acceptable) flooring option offered by calpac for the sierra homes? if not, can you share what flooring is your dad putting in?

i've been working with Erica Dose who moved from Loan Depot over to US Bank. she's been great - very efficient, responsive and has answered all questions i've had for her. US Bank's rates were the best when i purchased a couple years ago. i'll likely shop around a little when the time comes, but...

i should invite your seller to come live at my house for the month before we put it on the mkt! ;D it's aesthetically very pleasing to look at.

beautiful home and beautifully staged! if it were only closer to july!

i was thinking hypothetically - that is, if all else held the same (same model, similar sized lot), one lot being interior and another having a view (e.g., the homes in phase 2 vs. phase 4), what would that "view" be worth in lot premium? $50k? $100k? $200k?

new to this forum, but have been looking at properties in irvine for a little while now. so you think view lot premiums will be in the $150-250k range?
