Get an agent. Any agent (any decent one).Same cost to you. They don't give special NON agent deals. What they do do is try more fishy business when you aren't represented.

No, not under contract. Was looking into it because of the very low prices, but am having second thoughts. Now I am thinking more along the lines of The Palatine or Phoenix.

I don't know about the garage. I do know that their other building Station Square has a for-pay public garage in the building. Are you under contract at Park at Courthouse?

What is this I hear about the Park at Courthouse sharing its garage with the AHC complex right next door? Is there any truth to this?

Frank,Another Clarendon 1021 unit has entered foreclosure, #615 per the WaPo legal notices this morning. That's five now and only the first one has shown up as being sold so there's still four distressed props in Clarendon 1021. here are the details:default on original principal amount of $514,000.00, they actually paid 582k at peak. bank's probably writing off the delta.1021 N.

No asterisk?? Gotcha. That's just plain tricky- my apologies for misunderstanding- I saw the asterisk as disclosure. Yup, your buyer needs you....thanks for the clarification!

Buying condos is a tricky deal. You look at a big (100) unit building. Say you get a early new construction deal at the beginning of construction for X. At the final week of selling some investor comes in and offers to take whats left. He is gonna get a better deal than you did -of course. Now if the same Condo guy had offered a guaranty -He is not going to disclose that sale. He will offer a

Laurie,Maybe I didn't make the post more clear. There is no REAL asterik! They do NOT disclose this technicality. They just say "Price guarantee in writing."So the buyer THINKS they are getting a real price guarantee, but the builder uses a loophole to continue to drop prices (the intent of the guarantee) via other means. Thus making the advertisement nearly worthless.I agree with you. IF they

Tchaka- the builder IS (as I'm understanding it) sticking to the price guarantee. What the post suggests is that all buyers should get, before closing, any additional monthly incentives offered. Won't happen, and was asterisked to alert all that this is the case. Nothing underhanded.

No, I wouldn't quite say you missed the point but I appreciate your humbleness. Incentives do have a value and they certainly do (or should) count in terms of providing a guarantee. The developer is in to make money (rightfully so) and I understand why they would want to keep certain numbers private. I don't have a problem with that as long as said developer is not giving a guarantee. In that

Tchaka- one of us missed the point.I think it's great that the builder is offering a price reduction if the property goes down. What I know is unrealistic is for realtors or consumers, in addition to the decrease, to also be given the "incentive of the month" after the purchase agreement is signed. No one is talking about hiding anything- if an agent wants sales prices, they can go to the

You are correct, Laurie. Keep in mind though that the alternative to offering a guarantee, is sitting there and hoping people will buy despite the fear of prices going down. I know of a builder with a 19 unit development that has 0 closed and is now reducing prices. What if he'd had a guarantee? Perhaps he would have closed on some already. The issue isn't whether or not you provide a

As a person with much builder experience, builders are no different than any seller in some ways. They don't "owe" a client incentives that were not in place at time of purchase- period. That this builder is lowering the price should be enough. Under your thought process, all resales under contract (but not closed yet) would have a cma at closing, and get reductions based on up to the minute
