I can't say first hand, but I've heard good things regarding Morrison Homes. My only personal experience is looking @ models @ Glenwilde.
My opinion to buy or not has nothing to do with "the current market", but has everything to do with YOUR current financial situation.
My goal is to help people achieve financial independence(having assets pay YOU for support whether you want to work or not),I don't believe the way to achieive that is with a long term commitment to pay for the use of someone's else's money(home loan or any debt for that matter.)
I look @ total cost for a home. This includes the purchase price and any other costs associated with buying one;interest, closing costs, origination fees,etc. Short of paying for a home cash, I would say have MINIMUM of 20% down for a home. This will help you gain the loan with the best terms. Of course, you'll alway want to do so with your credit score in tip top shape.
I don't buy into the notion of getting a loan that matches the number of years you PLAN on living there. #1 does anyone really know? #2 your loan nor your money cares how long you live there. Would you go to the store and pay more for an item because you PLAN on keeping it on your shelf or in your closet longer before you no longer need to use it?
This doesn't make sense to me nor does paying more for the use of someone else's money that they are willing to charge. A can of beans is can of beans. Money is money.
One doesn't willingly overpay the grocer.I don't treat the lender any differently. | |
My answer WAS "NO" to Q#5 and Q#1.

Alert | I have been in a Morrison home for just over a year now, in Glennwilde. I am 100% happy with the design, quality and price of the home.
However, the customer service DEFINITELY leaves something to be desired. We have been passed from person to person to have a problem fixed since before we moved in. | | | |

Alert | | I was at those homes when they where building the models and if they built the models like there going to build the other homes your going to be spending alot of time correcting things. I built custom homes and barns with my father for 15 years in michigan and i find alot of consturction by the builders out here to be sub par. Its hard when you like the floorplan or location of the house though so if you have a friend that does construction take him with you and have them look at the house as its being built. My problem was actually trying to get them to fix stuff that was wrong because some how the building inspector still passed things that where not up to code and i had to bring in a code book to my builder and show them and basicly tell them how it was supposed to be done. Very dissapointing. I cant wait for property to hit rock bottom so i can build my own place. | | | |

This is a good reason to have a home inspector inspect the house before you close. It's the best $300 you can spend. Our inspector found a few minor problems and Standard Pacific fixed them without any questions. | | | |
