Meritage close dates slipping

January 16th, 2007 · View Comments

My Meritage close date slipped from 2/7 to 2/15. I’m actually happy about this since I haven’t secured a lender yet. Though I’m sure others might be less pleased. Why the delay?

Where do sales centers go to die?

December 8th, 2006 · View Comments

I got a nice letter in the (snail) mail today (do not all the buyers have e-mail addresses?) from the folks at Meritage (where I bought a unit) and one of the notes in the message was: We closed the [sales center's] doors after Thanksgiving, and are donating the cabinets and fixtures to Habitat for [...]

June 16th, 2006 · View Comments

So why did I buy at the Meritage? For the past two years I’d been passively watching the Seattle real estate market but I’d been a big believer in the imminent bursting of the Seattle real estate bubble so I didn’t pay too much attention.
