Maserson said:$90 more HOA/month for the Primrose versus Delano. But factor in higher mello (4762 vs 3019), around extra 145/month so Primrose will cost you $235 more per month.
You get better amenities, IMO better community layout. But ouch.
Burn That Belly said:A Primrose plan 2 just hit the market. This one is actually better because all living space on the 2nd floor and no third floor. Decor is rather colorful. Price is affordable for two millennials with half-decent jobs. But that HOA is killer. Oh, did I mention Balcony views of all your neighbors' garages. Who would've thought about that!

Maybe that is staged....YIKES!
Burn That Belly said:A tri-floor Sterling residence just showed up at GP. Home was built in 2018 so looks like they're getting out fast? Everything looks to be standard amenities from the granite, flooring, carpet, and countertops. After closing and comission costs, will they even break even?
At least the home staging was done a bit better this time. Why didn't they include pictures of the top-floor. That's the highlight of the home imho. Really strange to see more and more 2nd floor/3rd floor living homes coming up on the market so fast at GP.

Maserson said:Probably a flip. Sterling plan 3 started at 689k. If they get asking price, fast money.
Burn That Belly said:A couple more GP homes just popped up. The usual convalescent-home-looking exterior. The kitchen decor is more neutral and should appeal to more buyers. Finally, a balcony that faces the wide street as opposed to all your neighbor's garages. I truly find it funny how there's your own dedicated handicap parking spot RIGHT in front of your front door, yet the minute you open up the door, you're greeted with a long staircase toheavenmasterfully-planned living. Must feel like crap if you are in a wheelchair at that point. The fact that they invested in a water-softener to the home, plus ceiling fans in all rooms, and custom-garage cabinets means they gave it their best to try this make this place called "home" but didn't work out...

It's unfortunate though as I don't think he'll get that asking price. $599/sqft? This ain't OH3! Come on people.

Is this home being used as a birthing hotel? Who needs two washers?

Usually if two washers are installed, one would be in a different color and lower price point, used for "dirty" items such as cleaning towels and mops, while the other more expensive one is used for clothing. Not sure what these guys do with them.
Yes, especially Asian child laundry slaves. Some kids brought to Irvine as slaves have turned out quite well:Burn That Belly said:aquabliss said:Did these guys run out of money to buy the washer/dryer pedestals!? Looks awful without them.
Azns are short. They don't need pedestals.
