Montecito / Sonoma / Carmel Pricing

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program

There were probably some incentives on these last homes... but as we were driving away from Sonoma... I was still amazed at how fast they built out and sold that project and the other ones in Woodbury/WBE.

I know I always talk about FCBs but to actually see it in action is quite surreal... I notice graphrix and the other naysayers have been completely silent about this... even on OCR.

No incentives were offered on any Sonoma homes.  They didn't have to.

Currently, only new construction, traditional SFR (non-motorcourt with driveway) available  is Carmel II and upcoming Las Colinas.  You will have to pay $1M+ for these homes.  Maybe that motivated the buyer to buy the Plan 1 model house.

I think some Las Colinas might start in the 900's (at least based on the TIC website).  Though that probably means 989's

They start at HIGH 900's, so 989's is probably right.  Unless you don't add any options, it will be over $1M. 
 
Got an e-mail yesterday that showed the carmel II lots.  Instead of a model they drew out the floor plan on the actual lot and even used astroturf.  They have a "walk-thru" this weekend.

The layout does look quite nice.  We should start a virtual pool to see how long it takes TIC to sell these.    I got dibs on Christmas 2010.

Does the green behind the lady signify the backyard or does it go to the wall in the back?

The wall in the back is about 8 homes away up against keystone.  these "models" are set up on rode that enters into sonoma region.
 
The new Carmel lots are so frustrating to me.  I do not like the Carmel plans, and if you are paying that price you should be happy with the floor plan.  Now, it would only be the experience of the new home feel.  With resale homes hovering near the million mark too, the whole thing boggles my mind.  I wish there were better plans for new SFHs in Irvine.  Should paying so much money be such a frustrating experience?

Dh and I were recalling a conversation that we had with friends who bought in the 2nd last phase of Villa Rosa this time last year.  We told them we could not imagine buying a house for that much and when they left our house, DH and I talked about how crazy they were.  One year later, here we are contemplating paying the same as what they paid for smaller resale home in Woodbury. 

We wish we had a crystal ball and could see into the future.  Our conversations all center around, what if we buy now and this or that happens!!!

Floorplan aside, are Carmel II homes larger than Villa Rosa?
 
I'm with you OCMommy... like me, you don't like the L as much as the izz-O.

And at least Villa Rosa had a tandem garage for storage. I like a Great Room too, but don't take away my other living room or dining room.

It's an evil plan by TIC to make Irvine's older resales higher... because people will pay the same (or more) for older homes since they have nicer layouts.
