This past weekend we went to the grand opening of the new homes in La Costa Greens. Avellino in La Costa Greens are being built by KB Homes.

The La Costa Greens townhomes range from 1615 square feet to 2216 square feet and start as low as $526,000, with some homes having a La Costa Resort and Spa golf course view.

Because of the low Avellino pricing, there are no current incentives offered by the builder or lender. However, as a first time buyer, you may be eligible for an $8,000 federal and $10,000 state tax credit. If you use The Mewborn Team in your purchase, we will offer $1,500 toward closing costs to buy down your mortgage/interest rate.

These La Costa Greens homes will go to the award winning Carlsbad schools – Poinsettia Elementary School, Aviara Oaks Middle School, and Carlsbad High School.

As a part of La Costa Greens, you also have access to the La Costa Greens Presidio Club and swimming pool.

If you have any questions about these homes or any other La Costa, Carlsbad, Oceanside, or north county coastal real estate or mortgages, please contact us below. We are always happy to help!

This past Saturday was the opening of Rockledge in La Costa Oaks, in Carlsbad, CA.  We stopped by Saturday morning just to see the traffic.  It wasn’t nearly as busy as the grand opening of Copperwood in La Costa Oaks about a month ago.  So, we wondered about the potential immediate success of the development.  It seemed to me that given the AMAZING price range for being part of my much loved La Costa Oaks subdivision, that the community would be much busier that morning.

HOWEVER – we happened to stop by again on Sunday evening about 4:00 pm on our way to The Carlsbad Outlet Mall and Ruby’s.  And although, the traffic still wasn’t bustling, it was steady.  And imagine out surprise when we spoke to the sales representative and found that FOUR OF THE NINE homes that had just been released the day prior were already sold!!!!

As a real estate agent – that is GREAT news.  It reinforces some of the trends we are seeing with our clients – if you find a great home at the right price – you better be ready to act.  They are often selling on the first day on the market – at ABOVE asking price.  Does that mean the booming market is back – not necessarily.  But in a price range under $500k to $600k – homes are selling, and often selling quickly!

As for Rockledge at La Costa Oaks – Colrich expects to build 43 homes – many with canyon and ocean views.  The schools are the very highly rated and desirable – Mission Estancia Elementary, Diegueno Middle, and La Costa Canyon High School.

Rockledge at La Costa Oaks have homes between 1,913 and 2,463 square feet.  The property tax base is 1.3%.  As a La Costa Oaks homeowner, you will have access to The Oaks Club (which includes a gathering room, catering kitchen, swimming pool, bbq areas, and fully equipped exercise facility).  You will also have access to the coming La Costa Oaks Splash – a second pool and bbq area scheduled for completion in late 2009.

There are $10,000 of incentives offered if you use the preferred lender.  If you choose to use our services, the Mewborn Team is also offering a $4,000 incentive toward closing costs.  You ALSO have up to possibly $18,000 of tax credits available.   The financial incentives are HUGE!  ASK US HOW!

If you have any questions about Rockledge, La Costa Oaks, or any other local real estate communities, please contact us.  We are always happy to answer your questions.

Homes start at 2900 sf and go as high as almost 3400 sf. With builder incentives, the homes are selling for as low as almost $500k.

If you would like to see these Oceanside homes, any Carlsbad homes, or have any other real estate questions, please contact us.
