Plan 2 has the higher ceilings but plan 1 has the office/bonus and that courtyard which is a nice touch and different than the rest of the generic floor plans. Plan 3 also has the bonus space on the first floor which I like but I wouldnt complain if i got a Plan 2, thats for sure. But the large window wont be as appealing when you have neighbor looking right in. Hard to picture that in the model with no neighboring homes
From what I?ve seen it were lots that were 1,000-2,000sf larger than an average sized lot in an SFR tract.
Hmm its probably more in my self interest to bad mouth them so people leave the list and my clients have less competition. I don't promote them I just like sharing what info I have and helping people. Thats whole point of this forum imo.
When you got cash, the sellers will quietly float you to the top.
A little TIPS goes along way,,, there are a few ways to do it. Help if the sale lady is easy on the eyes as well.
No builder will allow a buyer to sell a reservation, especially Shea Homes, so buyers have to follow the builder's ground rules. I think Toll Bros allowed buyers to move ahead of non-contingent financed buyers but not any other builder that I'm aware of.
I took an interior lot (I'll refrain from disclosing which). Someone I know is also on the priority list and looking for a view lot only, so I asked about their chances. I was told "slim" chances given how many people were deferring in hopes of a view lot (my friend also got a call Saturday for an interior lot and deferred). This person and myself each registered the opening weekend of the models, so if what I was told holds to be true, then only those registered prior to the opening of the models will get view lots.
My guesses:
-The list will become significantly smaller after all view lots are gone.
-Many additional people will fall off the list after Phase 5 when the larger backyard lots are gone (I considered deferring for one but decided not to).
-I'm thinking there may be standing inventory by Phase 6 when most lots will be smaller and prices will be higher.
The lack of a yard and 3-car garage (or large storage) were big negatives for me, but the low $/sqft just makes this seem like a "deal" anyway. If you're looking for an interior lot, I think you have a good chance in the coming months.
Also my sense is that a lot of people are enamored with Plan 2, likely because of how it's modeled.
Good luck to everyone else that wants in.

Lol. I?m guessing you have a lot of buyers on that list so you have a vested interest in promoting for them. They also count on you to help with the sales. A little info goes a long way. I certainly don?t mind you sharing them

The person said to them it doesn't matter if it's cash or loan...but maybe he slipped her something under the table after I left

No they don't. Leslie already dealt with this. She's quite the stickler and having none of it. You have to wait your turn in line.
Unofficially maybe if you have the exact same name as a cash buyer you can get away and sneak by.

To get on the list you have to prequalified. That mean they have a minimum info and funds verified. So selling it to someone else is a no go as they got your name slotted.
