[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with above...1.3m is high to begin with even if Wootton...especially for starting price with the school uncertainty. Not sure what they are thinking. If schools change like everyone anticipates, the initial buyers will be screwed with resale.
I live in the area and everyone I talk to agrees that the uncertainty is not worth the base price assuming 10-20% added for upgrades. Who’s going to buy a 1.3M house without upgrades?? I’m going to wait it out now[/quote]

Agree!  For $1.3 M one can live INSIDE the beltway with access to excellent schools as well!

Agree somewhat although I am not as fazed by possible school rezoning.

At 1.3m, it's a tough sell.  I've toured the homes and a few thoughts...

- construction quality is questionable considering you can feel the floors sink a bit since the floor joists are more spread apart (I toured the orchard and hamlet). That's a pet peeve of mine.  
- For some models (Hamlet), you don't even get a yard and are forced to get a suboptimal outdoor living space for $40-50k.  Lots of hamlets share a garage!
- for gourmet kitchen options ($15-20k), I'm surprised by what you get (how little)
- They added custom options to the models which are not available from TB.  I think that's a bit dishonest.  IMO, models should show everything you CAN get from the home - not dangle a carrot that you figure out on your own how you're going to get it.

I really wanted to love these homes but for 1.2-1.5, I was disappointed.  If they were in the 0.9/1.0 range, I would jump on them especially because of the neighborhood.

Anyhow, for those going for it, they are nice homes and the neighborhood is great - I was expecting/hoping for more, though.[/quote]
