per the price sheet they were distributing at Jasmine this weekend, most of the home's in first Phase were marked SOLD. If i remember correctly, only 1 or 2 model 1's were available. considering the early phases are closest to 5, I thought they went pretty quick.

Wouldn't be surprised if these do well - going by San Mateo's success which were same floor plans as jasmine and lack of many good options available for detached condo's in this price range.

Wouldn't be surprised.. San mateo' s have been the hottest selling entry level home offering by IP( had 3 extensions)

Cambria  vs. jade court What do the experts here think is a better value/offering between these 2 starter homes (~ 610-670k. range) . Do like the fact that cambria offers some backyard space vs.  tiny courtyards at jade court . cambria however is an attached product vs. detached cal pacific...

Anyone used Jimenez landscaper for their yard and is willing to share their experience. Thanks.

@ quattroporte, thanks for the pricing sheet. To me this price increases (for more than a year on Santa Maria's) does not seem half bad as the increases in some of the other stonegate communities like for ex, the saratoga's or San Mateo's, where the increase was average 5K each phase.

Noticed today cambria - model 3 is already selling at ~589k after jst  2-3 releases of these homes. At this pace pretty soon they 'll touch the 600's. Wonder what IP plans to charge for the detached condos (San Mateo's III's) based on Cambria's success. Any word when IP is rolling them out?

Did Anyone hear if  SAn Mateo III's are panned to built in the bigger lots like the SAn Mateo II's( San Marco lots originally) OR the smaller SAn Mateo I lots. The size difference between the 2 lots seems to be significant.

IP timed cambria release very carefully to natively drive the sales. San Mateo II is almost sold out ( may be just 1 more phase left) and with the crazy price increases recently , it's  Lowest model is ~600k already . I foresee San Mateo III starting atleast in the low to mid 600's  and IP will...

Good point qwerty.

Being offerd a 30 year fixed rate of 3.5% with $1000 credit toward escrow/title fees and no loan origination charges( loan ~480k)...my credit score is in the 800 vicinity ...considerations are, 1. Since Wells Fargo  is builders preferred lender.. I am assuming the closing will be a little...

Thanks folks- We picked  "fantastic white" slabs from the ard today...they do look pretty good. For those thinking of going forward with this granite, i definitly recommend taking a trip to the yard and picking the slabs first hand of your choice. There could be a variety in this type...we found...

There are no incentives for san mateo's from Irvine pacific..They seem to be selling very well right now from what i have been gathering...don't think IP has any reason for incentives on them..

With the limited selections that IP design center has for granites, the best we liked was a white granite with shades of gray lines (they call it "MAR fantastic white").. doesn;t make a lot of difference to me but wife is a little skeptical with white granite considering all white cabinets in...

We were at saratoga and noticed that they are charging 10k premium for corner lots ( no house in front of your backyard) and additional 10k for the first house in the row(no house on one side.. This is no charge at San mateo, well so far  )...as if they are not minting money already ,irvine...
