Went over to Great Park to register one of my clients who was on the VIP list this late afternoon. Stopped by at Springhouse by Taylor Morrison, Beachwood by Lennar, Whistler by William Lyon, Hawthorn by Pulte, and Sagewood by Shea Homes. Not a lot of people looking around but a slow constant flow of buyers walking around.
The community has an HOA of $196/mo during build-out and it drops to $182mo after build-out. I was pleasantly surprised that pretty much all of the lot sizes were larger than 6,000sf (ranged from 6,000sf to 8,000sf), how refreshing. Mello Roos ranged from about $5,000/yr to $7,000/yr depending on the size of the home and lot size. Price ranged from $350-$375/sf (the single story homes were over $450/sf). I loved the Pulte single-story home but I can't afford as it was over $1.1m. :-[
Here's the Broker co-op for each community that I visited:
Springhouse - $10,000
Beachwood - $10,000
Whistler - $15,000
Sagewood - $15,000
Hawthorn - $20,000
