    Curious where you got that appliance list screenshot? It looks like they were thinking of giving the Wolf 36" Pro Wall range hood, but ended up changing it to the BEST brand range hood. I wonder what happened, and if anyone actually got the Wolf range hood?

    Even the new offering is mis-matched...the Best rangehood and Asko dishwasher are not Wolf.

    3.0% for 30-year fixed jumbo with no points, no cost? Is this with relationship pricing (moving a certain $ into a new account) or without?

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I've been to 1 open house in Rosegate and the thing that stood out to me was how bad the street design in the neighborhood was - it felt really cramped with the street parking. I remember the streets feeling very narrow for some reason. The house itself was fine but I couldn't wait to get out of...

    I don't quite understand why they had to charge an extra $900 to locate a water line and outlet for a built-in fridge and provide the specific fridge model. Don't regular fridges also need a water line and outlet behind the fridge? Is the power cable of a built-in fridge so short that the...

    How'd you all decide which Sub-Zero built-in fridge to get? French door w/ freezer at bottom vs side-by-side vs the over-and-under (single fridge door)? From what I can tell, the side-by-side gets you way more freezer space at the expense of less fridge space. The over-and-under gets you the...

    Orchard Hills Groves - Azul

    The fully loaded Fresco 3+ w/ Conservatory and 2nd floor loft (or 5th bed/4th bath) option hits 3,256 sq ft, which is a bit closer to 3600 sq ft. But yea, the overall average with the smaller Fresco model 1 and 2 is pretty far from 3600 sq ft.

    In these open floor plan homes, transitioning from engineered hardwood to tile at the kitchen would be pretty ugly, I imagine.

    This is my fear with engineered wood in areas that have water exposure. In your case when the engineered wood got warped in the kitchen, what did it take to get it fixed?

    Know that going with a waterfall countertop for island will limit your countertop choices slightly. Certain material with patterns (like marble or natural stone looking material with veins, even in quartz) may not be available for waterfall, because they want to be able to line it up at the 90...

    Did they just offer you this ~10% discount upfront for whole house flooring upgrade, or is it something you had to ask / push for?

    1) Do you know if the Bianco Levanto tile works for the 90 degree turn from island counter top --> waterfall, or for perimeter countertop --> backsplash? I was told that certain types of quartz countertop material with the "marble lines" cannot be used for waterfall or backsplash, because it is...

    Thank you. I will look into the nylon carpet as well. I was actually surprised that the quality of the standard carpet (it comes in a choice of 4 different colors I believe) seemed decent, but I do like the look of some of the lower profile carpets like nylon and the style they have in the...

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Had a few quick questions: 1) For the upgraded carpet that you quoted, is that highest quality nylon carpet what they have in the Fresco model homes? 2) For the white quartz countertop that you quoted, do you recall which manufacture and color that was for...

    Does a built-in fridge have a good ROI at time of re-sale? By my calculation, a built-in fridge is a $6K - $8K premium over a high-end counter depth fridge (including the upgrade premium from the builder, and the fridge price itself). The only benefit is aesthetics? Bosch has a nice counter...

    4) At Fresco, the fridge size is fixed at 36" wide. The cabinet upgrade only increases the height of the opening to accommodate a built-in fridge, not the width. My understanding is that you need to provide the exact model of a manufacture (like Wolf Sub-zero 36 inch model xxxxxx) by Stage 3...

    3) A conduit is just a pipe in the wall that wires can be run through - it doesn't includes wires or outlet, but does have blank cover plate where the outlet can be installed later. It's on the same wall as the electrical panel, so in theory it should be relatively easy for an electrician wire...

    1) Solid doors are not an option. 2) The only optional door is the door between master bedroom and master bath. All the other doors are standard, you don't need to specify how many doors to add. No option for door between 1st floor suite and bathroom. 3) There is a conduit in the garage for EV...
