  1. I don’t want to sound too negative, but the Schollander-built houses on Oak Meadow and Ridgeview are way overpriced. What surprises me is that they have not dropped their price.

    I have to wonder whether they worked out some sort of a deal with the bank holding their construction loan. The carrying cost of those 5-6 new homes is very high. Even if the interest rate is low, they are losing a lot of money every month. And they have to pay property taxes on those houses since they’ve been on the market for more than a year.

    From the market activity reports posted here, it seems that only lake front houses and houses on very large lots are getting sold for more than a million.

    I did go to their open house around July. They have an open house every other week. They couldn’t sell any even during the peak summer season.

    My wife thinks that the first home that gets sold will be in the 900K range. I think that it’ll be in the 800K range. Around 800K, that puts those homes around $200 a square foot. I think Schollander is still making money at that price. My guess is that their cost is around $175 sq foot.

    The only problem with selling around 800K is that the people who already bought those houses at 1.3 or 1.4 million will feel that they got cheated.

    But I fear the worst. Those homes might end up bankrupting Schollander.

    Sorry, I’m just trying to be realistic. Legend, Renaissance, etc filed for

  2. David,

    You know, it’s hard to speculate on what the builder/Seller’s situation is, but I think you make some good points. They’ve been on the market for awhile, but then again, so have many, many homes in that price range & higher. They’re also offering some special financing.
    Over 1 mil (I’m sure you know) is a longer sale, and well, we’ve had a crazy market. That is prime location there, and those are gorgeous homes. I wish the best for the builder/Seller… they sure did a great job. That said, it is the Buyer who sets the market value. Ony time will tell.

    Linda
