Casero by Standard Pacific

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Went to look at the models today, phase 7-16 will be in the northern enclave (no dates given) while all the other phases will be in the southern enclave (19 total phases).

Overall, I thought the first floor of plan 1 and 2 were nice (had nice outdoor area as well) while plan 3's first floor seemed a bit cramped (with very little outdoor space).  The problem throughout all the models were that the kids' rooms were quite small.  I'd prefer a kids room to at least be able to fit a bed and a desk comfortably.  I wish I'd brought a tape measure because if you use the measuring tool on the interactive floorplan, the kids' rooms are at least 12' x 12' and they surely do not feel that big.
 
Comparing the original prices of plan 3 ($650k), and the current price ($700k+ - per redfin for standing inventory), can't believe that prices are going up.  I thought the economy was bad and housing price was supposed to go down...
 
Noticed that too and thought maybe they have sold out and this could be the model home.
If not then it is really amazing.

Just stopped by Casero to see what was up.  They have about 7 homes already build and ready (available).  These have upgrades so maybe the higher prices are because of the upgrades?

Asked if there are any incentives and the sales lady said no.  (No appliance packages, no upgrade credits -- I guess they already have the upgrades in the ready units -- but don't know how many of the upgrades are gratis and how many are build into the pricing...). 

She also said that they are different from other builders and have been around a long time.  Also, that they haven't needed to throw in incentives (I guess the connotation was that they are a better builder??)

Anyways, I remember that for the Serras in PS (Stan Pac product), they really didn't lower prices even when the economy went South.  I think they just patiently waited until the homes sold at the price point they had.
 
My recollection of Serra is different. Prices were much higher prior to the burst and then slowly went down.

Interestingly enough, the sales team at Serra is the same sales team at Las Ventanas (and they used to sell Mille Fleurs in Woodbury).

If you're referring to the last plan 1 model, it was at 829k for a week or so and then it went pending. I don't think it's closed yet...
