No amount of soundproofing can block out the sound. Put on a pair of ear muffs and you can still hear the people around you talking. Plus why should I have to live with my windows closed all the time.

No wonder I heard so much screaming and yelling coming from the courts that are right next to peoples homes.
Home went off market.
Zestimate is $5M

What are you talking about, they've already dropped prices $1M+ across the board.
I’m also torn between Azul plan 3 vs. a view lot in Olivewood.
Azul and Cielo both also have a bunch of unsold view lots. Make their sales teams compete with each other.
They were getting desperate.

I think someone did. There is no sale history on the listing, but property taxes are based on net taxable value of $4,996,756. Maybe they overpaid the builder for the house and upgrades. The government is thankful for the $56K in property taxes for the year. lol!

Hi there - has anyone had any luck negotiating with the builder on price? What kind of movement are they willing to do?

We went recently, and they don't offer incentives. They said they are willing to negotiate on pricing so I am curious what kind of movement they have made recently. They have a view lot, home size 3,220 sq ft. with lot size of 6,097 at $4,549,990. I am just seeing if anyone had recent experience with their sales team.

That's still WAY overpriced.

I totally agree. That’s why I’m curious why kind of movement they are willing to make. Are we talking $100k or $500k given the current slow down.

That is true. My brother-in-law did exactly that with Arbor. He low balled them on a view lot one. They countered that they might have an offer, so my BIL told them to take the offer. After a while, they reached out to my BIL and said that they would take his offer because the other offer backed out. But then my BIL said no and low balled them even more. After a while, they accepted my BIL's offer. Then my sister came in and said she wanted the Sub-Zero fridge for free. They gave her that. Then my sister also asked for washer/dryer and they agreed also, but then my sister said "Nah...I want credits for the washer/dryer instead" and they still agreed to it.If you like a house just low ball them. If they are willing to play ball they will. If they eventually drop prices they may reach out to you
They were getting desperate.
