Think You Can’t Afford to Live in the Best New Home Community in Mountain View?

2010-11-04T12:39:00.000-07:00

THINK AGAIN!!

With the lowest mortgage loan rates on record, you can get a loan for around 3.5%, half of what rates were as little as 2 years ago. That slashes your monthly payment, and adds up to a huge increase in your buying power. We may not see mortgage rates this low again in our lifetimes.

Here is a loan scenario from Wells Fargo to show you just how affordable our homes at Miramonte are.

This example is provided for illustration only. Rates subject to change. Loan programs are subject to Buyer qualification. Please contact Wells Fargo Home Loans for more information.

Top 5 reasons NOT to buy a short sale !.

2010-07-07T10:47:00.000-07:00

Buying a new home from Classic Communities will make sure you never run into these top 5 short sale problems. Remember, your new Classic Commuities home always has an one year fit and finish warrenty and an additinal 10 year warrenty, called SB800.

Buying Short sales and bank owned homes can be a frustration for many buyers today.
See the top 5 reasons NOT to buy a short sale property.

(1.)Unknown Length of time:Short sales generally can take months from acceptance offer till closing. Plus ,these is really no solid time line when the closing will occur. Don't make any plans to move around the date on the purchase agreement ,it doesn't mean anything to the bank!

(2.)Your deal may never close:Many short sales never get approved by the bank and consequently go into foreclosure.

(3.)Your price may never be accepted by the bank:Although the seller has accepted your offer, there is no guarantee the bank will. You could get the offer accepted for $700,000 only to have the bank come back and say they will only accept $900,000!Your only options are to accept the $900,000 or to cancel the deal.

(4.)Little or no information prior to closing:This is related to #1 above.This can be one of the most frustrating parts of the process. The listing agent will often have no information as what is currently happening on a short sale for weeks on end.

(5.)Last minute deal thieves: Just like on ebay, unless the listing agent is explicitly preventing it, you could have a accepted offer in on the property for months ,only to lose it in the last 30 days to a higher bid from an investor.

These are just a few problems that you would not have, when buying a new Classic Community home ! See our website at www.classiccommunties.net our sales offices today for a Model tour.

Our Plan 6....Unique, Beautiful, Flexible

2010-04-24T14:11:00.000-07:00

It’s “countdown” at Trinity Park!

This week was a busy week. We had three buyers looking to buy our beautiful Plan 4 model home. Our lucky buyer is moving to Sunnyvale because they feel it will be a nice place to start their family. They loved the floor plan and are very happy with the quality of our schools. With only two homes available, now is a perfect time to visit us.

You may ask, “What is so special” about our Plan 6 floor plan? Here is what some folks have said:

“We love the fact that the master bedroom is on the ground level! No more dragging yourself up and down the stairs at the end of a long day!” - Joyce, Sunnyvale

“It’s amazing how much privacy there is! We have looked at new homes in the area and they are built so closely, with little privacy. This plan is quite unique!” -Paul, Cupertino

“This home is perfect for our family. Our children are older. But they return to us with their families. With the two master suites and huge entertainment room, there is room for everyone- and yet everyone has privacy…” -Sundaram, Sunnyvale

“We will be having our parents move in with us. This plan makes great sense. Our parents can have the ground level master bedroom and we can have the master on the lower level. Our children will have a room near us and they have a huge entertainment room to be close to, but not in the way of Grandma and Grandpa. We will finally be able to take the stress out of caring for our parents…” - Anthony, Sunnyvale

“We are downsizing and this home is perfect! We have enough room without it being too much to take care of. We still like to entertain and this plan will be perfect for this!” -Eric, Saratoga

Don’t take our word for it! Come and see how your family can benefit from this plan!

Here are some photos of this great home!

Last Chance to Buy at Trinity Park!

2010-04-18T13:21:00.000-07:00

Wow, it is hard to believe it has been just under a year that we opened our doors and began selling what has turned out to be one of the fastest-selling communities in the Bay Area. Many people have asked us what we attribute our success to. In real estate, success has always been attributed to “location, location, location”. In fact, in today’s market you need to have more that this to be successful. While we are located in a very established and stable neighborhood we have some of the best schools the area has to offer. In addition, we have cutting-edge floor plan designs built by an award-winning builder, delivered at a great value.

Perhaps you have not visited us in awhile, or you are just considering buying a home. We only have a few homes remaining! And, with the California Tax Credit, there truly is not a better time to buy a home.

We invite you to stop by and talk to Nancy and Jaelle. Together, they have 27 years of real estate experience. They will discuss your home buying needs with you and help you to personalize your new home.

To date, approximately 25 families have moved in and our community. We had our first homeowner event last month with approximately 70 friends and family members in attendance. Please check back with us as we post more photos of our community and events.

Don’t be shy, come on by!

The Classics at Miramonte (Plan 3)

Mountain View, Calif.
The Trend: Small lot development

What is it about a shingled house that looks just right no matter where it is? New England, California, the Midwest--many parts of this country can rightfully claim shingles as their own.

With its steep roof and asymmetrical front windows, this quirky, not-so-little, four-bedroom house looks right at home with its more traditional California stucco neighbors. That’s something that stood out for the judges. “When grouped with other diverse dwellings in this GreenPoint-rated community, the shingle-style home forms an intimate streetscape that brings back the eclectic charm of early 20th-century California neighborhoods,” commented one juror.

Inside, it’s all about efficiency and getting the most out of a 2,173-square-foot home on a 35-foot-wide lot. It has three stories, something that’s barely noticeable from the outside. The master suite is tucked into the third story, which has been a popular feature with prospective buyers. On the first floor, the open plan features a dining room, living room and kitchen, with an alley-loaded two-car garage off the back. The second floor is packed with three bedrooms, a loft, a laundry room, and one of the home’s 2½ baths. There’s even a tiny bit of yard in front and back.
Located within walking distance of Mountain View’s energetic downtown, the neighborhood is even selling well. Within three weeks of opening, 14 homes had been sold. This positive response has led the builder to start construction on the enclave’s remaining 44 homes. In this economy, that’s downright spectacular for homes that range from $1,079,500 to $1,099,950. –-Kathleen Stanley
