[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they both are a pass. What about this one and do a few cosmetic updates:

This home is priced with a renovation in mind. It’s a fair price imho. The homes in the Reserve that have not been updated are sitting and the owners are trying to reflect that.

This home ($5.8M) is nearby and has the same mid-quality of original building materials as the house on Silent Ridge.  It’s possible they will get this price, but I would be shocked if it ultimately goes for anything near this.

The Master Bath in Dominion Reserve Drive house looks like it *was* recently updated, but the style is terrible.  A new owner will likely want to replace that ASAP.

I like the Silent Ridge house. But I would spend money I saved replacing the kitchen and bathrooms before I moved it.

Of the five houses for sale currently in the Reserve, it’s by far the only one that has a price that is somewhat reasonable for what you get.  [/quote]

The homes in The Reserve don’t seem to be holding up well over time. A common complaint I’m hearing is warping and cracking walls, which could be a sign of a framing issue with the builder. It’s possible they cut corners or didn’t use the best materials, and now those issues are starting to show up. It’s not just an eyesore—it could lead to bigger problems down the road that will be costly to fix. As these homes continue to age, I imagine more issues will start popping up.[/quote]
