    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    That is ridiculous pricing for a home that small imo. It has the Irvine schools and is new, but otherwise I think most people would buy elsewhere. $600+/sqft is a different level of pricing and just doesn't seem worth it.

    If you get on the list now, you will likely have a chance to buy in the later phases (and possibly earlier). Might be a better option for you.

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    I took an interior lot (I'll refrain from disclosing which). Someone I know is also on the priority list and looking for a view lot only, so I asked about their chances. I was told "slim" chances given how many people were deferring in hopes of a view lot (my friend also got a call Saturday for...

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    Looks like they'll start calling Saturday at 10am again. Prices are up $10k on interior lots (model 3 the same but smaller backyard than in phase 1). View lots up considerably as they've pre-selected some upgrades. Estimated move-in June/July 2021 Lot 51: $1.765 Lot 52: $1.78 Lot 53: $1.82 Lot...

    Mello-Roos of Irvine

    I believe the tax bills are broken out into two sections. One section is taxes and the rest, including MR, are "Special Assessment User Fees".

    Mello-Roos of Irvine

    Hmmmm...my CFD 09-1 went up by the EXACT amount that fell off for 86-1. That seems...odd.

    It's an option on most new builds that I've seen. When I've priced them out separately, it always seems to be more or not worth the hassle to do. I think the lower end options on cetara are quite reasonably priced actually.

    Thanks, this is helpful. I registered the day after the models officially opened so looks like I won't be called for a while. Will likely drop out by then if prices increase too much.

    It would still be helpful to know for those of us that are cash buyers, would it not? Were your clients that got called registered and/or prequalified on the day it opened?

    Can you share when you registered these two clients? This will help me (and others I'm sure) get a better sense of where we are on the list.

    Aren't there HOA rules against this? Stonegate provides 9 months to submit plans and 12 months for completion. I assume your neighbors are getting fined?

    new home upgrades

    Arcadia and Lafayette were charging $24K+ for the large bi-fold doors. In the case of Arcadia, you needed to select this upgrade prior to the start of building because they had to adjust the foundation to support them.

    Beacon Park

    I might be able to add a bit of insight here. I just bought one of those 5K sqft lots in Arcadia and the premium was indeed $25K. The negative is that there's a retainer wall at the back so the usable size is a few feet less, but still leaps and bounds better than the standard lots. From what...

    Beautiful yard! I imagine much of the cost for yours was in the materials/tile? My yard is going to be about 3x the depth and I was hoping to have a bbq island, custom fountain, and shade structure built. I don't need the yard to be tiled but was hoping to keep it under $45K. Not sure that's...

    I doubt anyone is monitoring this thread anymore, but wanted to say thanks to everyone that's contributed as it's been very helpful. My new Stonegate home will be completed in a few months and I'm trying to ballpark all the costs, so threads like this are awesome.
