Thanks for the detailed video. You didn't cover the Boulevard - Dublin community which has townhomes by Brookfield Residentials. Are they a good purchase ?
Hello Spencer, Very informative videos. I am interested in Townhomes. Many of the new Townhomes in the Bay area are listed as "Townhome style Condos". Is there any advantage to considering a "Townhome style Condos" over traditional condos (which are typically in a single floor)? Do they appreciate better/have better resale value?
Glad they are! There are some nuisances. The main reason they say this is because you see a lot more Tetris style stackers that have one unit above another but is a townhome style as in it has stairs inside the unit. The total height may be 3-4 stories tall depending on the style. Given these are much newer of a design method (last 5 years) there isn’t too much resell data yet but the fact that these communities are still selling quickly and for what they are going for, shows it’s still a popular design. Because these don’t have elevators, their HOAs tend to be lower too but the downside is a whole bunch of stairs! It’s a personal preference but I would say they would appreciate better than single level condos but less than older townhomes that don’t have neighbors above or below you Feel free to email me as love to help with your journey!

Few reasons. Many people do prefer the new finishes, open layouts, and lack of bidding. You are correct. New construction is around 10% more than neighboring homes in an area so there is a premium for those benefits
@charlesmosley5691 plenty of options for everyone throughout. These are new construction homes which is limited due to lack of big spaces. Search preowned and own instead of renting
Very good sharing and introductions. It helps a lot, thank you!
You are welcome! Let me know if you want to tour any!
Thanks for the terrific information! Very well presented! Cheers!
Thanks much!

most of these are $2-3M + at that price point why even bother with a new home? you can literally get a old home rebuilt with good school districts

The Bay Area is pricing too many people out; It would be better to live elsewhere .
