    New communities in Portola Springs

    It?s not uncommon for a new home that is immediately listed for rent to go for market price before any landscaping is done. I have seen it happen multiple times where the owner commissions the landscaping after the tenants have moved in

    Interesting! Which community was this? How did he manage to do that kind of damage? And how was he unable to shut off the main water supply before too much damage is done?too many questions.

    Congrats on the new house. Was curious about the interest rate situation now (only if you? feel comfortable sharing that info). Were you able to lock in a reasonable interest rate a while back, or did you wait till you?re closer to the closing date risking the potential higher rates

    Yes, I was surprised too but seems like there are still some buyers out there who are not price sensitive (specially those with Bay Area price expectations). Even if they aren?t many, the limited inventory makes them enough to keep the prices going

    Oh, I thought someone on this thread mentioned the sales office told him that the single story home had already been signed for. I wouldn?t be surprised if it?s still sitting on the market though I have attached the latest price sheet here.

    My wife heard some horror stories from one of the buyers down the street in phase 10. Basically, most of their kitchen cabinet doors need to be replaced because of dents and paint drips, a broken floor tile that took all day to replace and created lots of dust to finally have the new one with...

    If you are referring to the missing thermal expansion tank and valve brought up by Steve in his inspection report, Kyle told me they are not needed for our tankless water heater which is an open system as opposed to closed systems that need it. I checked online and found the following link...

    On a different note, the entry level plan 1 now is at $2M with conservatory included. High interest rates or not, these homes still sell at a rate of one/week and the price hikes keep chugging along with it.

    I don?t believe there is anything that can delay closing at this point. Any cosmetic issues that don?t prohibit the buyer from occupying the property and functioning normally while living in it will not qualify as sufficient reason for an escrow delay. All other unaddressed issues they will...

    I see. They used to provide 2 walk throughs 1 week apart which was kinda nice, you know, to knock down any major issues before you actually can start moving in. Generally, you want to pay very close attention to the house for the first few weeks. I think their quality of finish and sign-off...

    Just wondering if they are offering you a pre-orientation walk through in addition to a final walk through on the day of closing or only the final one. I am asking because their customer care rep. told me that for future phases they are going to do only the final walk through as they don?t have...

    Thanks Danimal for the update. I think like Irvinehomeseeker said before, it?s good to take what the sales office says with a grain of salt. They make it seem like there was lots of interest in the house when it shouldn?t have made it to Redfin in the first place. Interestingly, my wife shared...

    They say it includes a 5th bedroom, 4th bathroom, so not sure how much more expensive than a loft this upgrade is. But also, this lot premium should be less steep than the plan 3 home. It looks much smaller on the map. Overall, it?s kind of difficult to gauge exactly how much the base price went...

    True, but these were built on fairly larger lots on average compared to the extension phase lots (i.e. ph 12 and beyond), so the floorplan 3 conservatory was the rule back then not the exception. And even then they still had to pay a lot premium (~20-40k at the time). Now, fast forward to the...

    The plan 3 price in phase 15a doesn?t include a loft, so it?s is actually 32k more expensive than the previous 14c release. As for phase 15b, the price includes a loft and a conservatory (110k+90k value), so it?s actually $138k more than in 15a. My guess is it breaks down to a $38k increase in...

    How does this make sense? This house hasn?t even been done being built yet. It probably sold a couple of weeks ago by IP and won?t close escrow until July/August timeframe. This is a joke listing
