Bones- My last place was 3200 sq ft, fairly basic upgrades (appliances, backsplash, wood floor, cabinets, built-in shelf, etc.) & we paid $100k. But I think they will be crazy here. I forget where I read it, but I read that you can get a pool/spa put in at OH during the building process! I had...

Well, then I imagine they will be sky-high at OH. Oh joy! haha  :-[ Anyone with local purchase history, care to share?  ???

It is a very good thing when you guess too high!!! haha, but then again... they might get you with those upgrades!! The pain of going into the model and thinking that this is what the home looks like... vs. the reality of studying the list and figuring out how much will change if you go...

Yes, my thoughts exactly. We purchased two years ago, then had to re-locate to LA for business :'( But our StanPac home up there, they said the same thing. You must pay for all your options (esp. if you go ham) to protect them from the chance of you not pulling through. Makes sense. I'm...

It's interesting because the Trevi lots pretty much go in every direction; they border all the Amelias. I'm about 99% positive that Phase I will be the lots with the orchard facing to the back of the homes. I have seen the Trevi models (un-finished, as of right now they are framed with drywall)...

As a long time creeper of this forum, I just had to create an account to share this info that I came across today. Our guesses were pretty accurate!! But wow, low 2 on that Trevi! ??? Who will be buying?
