Meritage close dates slipping
January 16th, 2007 · 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? The wonky weather has affected elevator installation (critical for move-ins), the cement floors for the second floor, and painting the exterior. At this [...]

Where do sales centers go to die?
December 8th, 2006 · Comments

We closed the [sales center's] doors after Thanksgiving, and are donating the cabinets and fixtures to Habitat for Humanity.

My experience buying at the Meritage
June 16th, 2006 · 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. Interest rates were going up, incomes at the local tech [...]

Three19 and the Meritage
June 13th, 2006 · Comments

If you’re looking for a two bedroom, I think the [...]
