    Mine is Enphase, rating is 3.1 kW for a 13 panel system. I haven?t had a chance to experience peak summer production yet, but on a good day so far a panel produces  1.6-2 kWh per day depending on its location on the roof. Just mind that they may have changed the solar supplier for newer phases

    We did try. Irvinehomeseeker and I who were both buying in the same phase pushed back and expressed extreme dissatisfaction. I even escalated to higher management. But it?s like Calbears said, they?d be more than happy to take the house back with your earnest money deposit as the cherry on top...

    Are you guys sure about this? Because I have a price sheet for floorplan 3, phase 14c that says for 2.336M with bonus room included. So, I figured they removed the bonus room and readjusted the listing price to the new price. But again, they could have done that and kept the bonus room.

    Pretty much yes. I bought back in phase 8 (the first one they started to break into sub phases) and up till then the price hikes were anywhere from nonexistent to 15-20k per phase. After which they started experimenting with their 40k hikes and I thought it outrageous then. For the remaining...

    Floorplan 3 base price has made the following consecutive jumps quickly to catch up with the resale market value: 1) phase 12=>13: 50k 2) phase 13=>14b: 150k (no floorplan 3 offered in phase 14a) 3) phase 14b=>14c: 100k This is 17% in just 2 months. To put things in perspective, those who...

    Floorplan 2 pricing is almost always very close in pricing to that of floorplan 3 for the Fresco extension lots. Reason being that for these smaller lots, floorplan 3 can?t fit a conservatory while floorplan 2 can. End result is the smaller floorplan 2, pre-plotted with a conservatory option...

    I know that for the Fresco extension phases, floor plan 3 doesn?t entertain a conservatory option. The extension lots are much smaller and the setback won?t allow it. The only exception to this rule are a couple of premium larger lots that are yet to come in future phases. The price sheet...

    You can withdraw it right after closing. The rate discount is incorporated in the final loan disclosure documents you sign before closing. Once the rate terms are set, they can?t take that back and they also can?t lock you out of your money.

    Looks like the Fresco sales office finally caught up with the resale market value. Floor plan 3 witnessed a very steep price hike of $ 260K on 2 steps across the span of 2 months. Starting with a phase 13 base price of 1.8M around mid Dec then a 150K pump for phase 14b, shortly followed by...

    Any cracks wider than a hairline at the interior or exterior due to the house settling in they will address at the 1 year mark. They also offer a move in touch up 1 month after moving in.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Because they do a good job covering it up with the kind of wall Trump would love, in addition to the tall dense trees to make you hardly notice it. If it were an eye sore then I understand but if you didn?t know it exists, you wouldn?t notice it in passing.

    So the listing doesn?t mention a loft, but based on the listed square footage, it seems that they opted for the loft and the first floor suite. So it?s probably close to 1.76 M just for the structural upgrades. Even with full blown design center upgrades (unlikely in the case of an investor)...

    I am just remarking that, in effect, they will only have had to lock their money for a little under a month to make that gain. Factor in the leverage, and we are talking about a pretax ROI of 150% in 1 month

    Something just doesn?t add up here. This is a phase 7 lot. These guys just closed end of December. Didn?t know that the new owner can list it for sale immediately after closing. If true, then the profit may be a bit less than 500K, but the crazy thing is this profit is made in under a month. The...

    They ?really? don?t want the buyers to do anything. All they ?really? care about is milking it to the best of their ability, so if they think they can charge you a convenience fee, they will do it. For example, if you want to free up a slot in the kitchen for a built-in mini fridge, that?s less...

    No, it is actually a discount. I know because you still get on top of that a credit for unused materials which they tell you how much. And it?s not a 10% discount. It?s $2711 a flat rate discount for floor plan 1 regardless of how much you spend on flooring(probably different for floor plans 2 &...

    Regarding the solar panels, they have no choice. CA passed a solar mandate in 2020. Solar panels are part of the code now for all new builds, they must comply to pass inspection.
