I would recommend discussing this with your lender up front, I would hate for there to be any surprised just as your were trying to close a deal. 

But a surprising amount of “snowbirds” in our area during the winter months.

I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years I expand into something a little more active.

This is a big difference from other markets that surprises people when we tell them this (especially coming from CA). 

There were no pets disclosed in the booking and I was surprised to see them.

I requested the closing documents to review all the associated fees and charges, and I was surprised to find that the out-of-pocket closing costs amount to $12,395.38.

So everybody's going to charge the market...I wouldn't be surprised if real estate went up by another 8 or 10% if interest rates come down."

The labor may be more expensive in high value markets (but surprisingly San Diego labor values are not that high).   

It's driveable for you, less expensive and has some surprisingly strong metrics supporting it.

good idea - we will do so and see if anything comes up that we didn't discuss during our build.back in the day when the tests were done, nothing was apparent from the engineers or tests themselves that indicated we couldn't build. i'm not sure what anybody else would find (if anything).we are suspecting that most buyers thus far may think "wow, this sh*t just got real" when they see the reports and have a minor panic attack and back out. i'm trying see how i'd feel in their shoes. it's surprising how many folks do not research the ins and outs of the home building process before making an offer...
