PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS FOR YOU!
What a great night of information at the latest Auberge informational session last week! If you were not able to attend, we have a lot of information to pass along. If you did attend and did not absorb the multitude of facts they went over, this is for you too!
First, here’s a link to view photos and documents from the evening, which includes the Overview and Age-Qualified Neighborhood FAQ’s. You can access these at anytime by viewing online or downloading and printing. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hzlpzzerxd7kdaw/AABoubrBte29Xg40Z5T6jkXEa?dl=0.
FLOOR PLANS
See the artist renderings and preliminary floor plans side by side in our latest post.
Interactive floor plans are also now available on Cal Atlantic’s website as well:
PRICING:
When you purchase a new construction home, you are buying the home with standard included features. There are many upgrades and options to select to customize your home to your taste. You can either purchase these options through the builder, or you can take your time renovating your home after the close of escrow, which lowers your tax base. Summer House pricing may have a significant jump from the Plan 1 to the Plan 2 model, as there is a fairly large jump in square footage between the models ( 2,000 to 2,700 sq. ft.)
- The Cottages: from the high 500’s
- Villages: from the high 600’s
- Summerhouse: from the mid 800’s
PROP 60 FOR THE WIN
This is one of the only chances to live in Del Sur without paying all of those high taxes! Not only is the tax base decreased from the traditional 1.7% to 1.04% due to the non-use of the schools, but Prop 60 & 90 will allow eligible homeowners to buy a home and only pay a fraction of the taxes!

THE CLUB
This Spanish style building will be completed in June or July 2016 and from what see, it is going to be state of the art!

WHAT’S NEXT?
PRE-QUALIFICATION will start the priority list to purchase. Right now, if you are on the interest list, you are receiving information, however the pre-qualification process is what “saves your place in line.”
- Del Sur homeowners will get a two week head start to pre-qualify, however CalAtlantic is still working out the details, which will be finalized within two weeks
- If there is even a chance you will purchase a home in this community, even if it is not for a year, we recommend getting your financial documents ready NOW that you may be asked for. (W-2’s, 2 years of tax returns, verification of funds documents, etc.) Looking for a lender? Contact Sheri Arnold at Skyline Homes.
