Which hamlet model did they drop? I thought they always had 3 models?

Ah, must not be remembering correctly and suppose they just must not have eliminated any of the ones I liked so I didn’t notice. Looks like the smallest Hamlet is still listed though (the three bedroom, which still does not seem like it would be popular to me), as opposed to them having dropped it.

They definitely dropped some models...two of the ones I liked unfortunately!

Looks like the same models are still listed, at least as they have been for the past several months. I think it’s actually more likely they’ll add a smaller model (it’s what they, and competitor builders, have recently done over the past few months when sales have been slow) to try to attract more buyers without looking like they marked down the cost of existing floor plans that have already been bought. See NV’s introduction of the Liberty model at several Maryland communities, which is about 50k less than the least expensive they were previously offering and TB’s recent introduction of the Hurley, a new floor plan also 50k less expensive than the previously least expensive in Maryland’s Turf Valley community. All occurring in what are typically very popular family areas for Baltimore and Columbia professional degree-types as well split Baltimore/DC families.

Interestingly, the more expensive base communities in Howard County, which have more land, seem to be selling like hot cakes. Perhaps because interests are so low and the mortgages aren’t that different, folks with the means to buy in the final price range of 900-1.1 and who want to be in that area are choosing land and more space. Total speculation though.

I’m presuming that’s why they dropped their lower models...it’s because the redistricting variable doesn’t make it worthwhile for them. It’ll be financially better for those who wait for phase 2 for sure.

yikes. Not very much. Hoping their incentives are a lot more than that.

It’ll probably be the usual 30k towards design center.
Buying early doesn’t mean much from what I can tell...the deals just get better with time, not worse

When are they giving $30k incentive? Is it for every buyer? When you say the deals get better, are you saying that they offer more design center incentives at later phase?

Can't predict/ But PP is right - most likely they won't offer it up front. Perhaps when year end draws near and if business is slow, they might dangle a carrot. Otherwise, expect minimal incentives to start. But, these are interesting times especially for a $1m+ development.

Potential redistricting will help phase 2 and 3 for sure. Plus the lots for phase 1 are terrible. They’re definitely saving the best for last.

Nah - shouldn’t be. There is clay soil throughout the county/area.

Are basements more expensive due to horrible clay soil?

Why would they not open all the sites on phase 1 if they are showing the details? I’m going to be very annoyed if they break phase 1 into sections lasting months to years after releasing it online. Why not just tell us what will be available when they open??
