Affordable New Homes in Rancho Cordova, CA (No HOA)

A brand new home that has a base price of less than $500,000. Today we're going to have a look at this model home behind me here in Rancho Cordova and there's no HOA in this brand new home community that actually just opened up about one week ago. So I can't wait to share this video with you guys. Also stay tuned for my next two videos. I'm going to be going over those other two model homes as well. Those are four bedroom houses. This one is a three bedroom home that has a base price of around $480,000 with no HOA. I'm Jason Walter with eXp Realty. If you guys are looking to make a move to the greater Sacramento area and buy or sell a house here, then of course please reach out. I'll provide my information below or you can pause the video and scan that QR code behind me. All right, so let me flip my camera around. This is Willow at Cypress by Woodside Houses or Woodside Homes in Rancho Cordova. This is our fern which is 1,670 square feet. This is a three bedroom, two and a half bath home and a two car garage. If you follow my channel oftentimes the sales office is one of the model houses and of course this sales office would be that two car garage. I also want to kind of flip you guys around because this is a brand new community. They just opened up about one week ago so they have a lot of houses for sale. They also have Aspen at Cypress and also if you missed my other video that I posted before these we have Richmond American Homes just off in the distance going in the direction of that pickup track. So a home developments and a brand new school over there. All right let's go have a look inside. We'll talk about pros and cons just like I do in all my videos and some numbers for this community as well. So again this is our fern as you can see right here. Cute house about 1,700 square feet. Let's go ahead and have a look. So you walk in just to the right is a fairly large coat closet. These model houses so of course they're not for sale but the model homes just gives you an idea about what you could do at a house. It also gives you the lay of the land because if you're looking to buy a dirt lot for example and they're going to start building it then of course the house is not going to be completed for about six months from now. So it's really good to have a look at the model houses and see the layout and how all the furniture is in the home as well. So let me flip you around again and there we go. So the paneling on the walls is an upgrade. We have a half bath downstairs right there and then a beautiful open floor plan. I really love the decor. Nice large window. You got a slider it goes to the backyard, dining area and here's the kitchen and before that I want to share this. I'm seeing this more and more. I don't know if people have more dogs nowadays or what but we personally have two dogs at our home. My wife surprised me the other day and said I did something impulsive and we have a brand new puppy at our household and we're also fostering a dog. So there you go. So a really cool thing about these is that these are quartz countertops which are standard in the kitchen. Another good upgrade, not really an upgrade, a benefit. A lot of people ask me hey I want to buy a home but I don't want to have an electric range. So here you go. You still have gas and this is a new home development that just opened up. Pretty cool. Nice big island. Personally I'm not a big fan of having this separation here. I really like having one basin but I'm sure there's multiple sinks and everything you can choose. The pent lighting is actually super big but actually looks pretty cool. Looks like a giant light bulb. Nice open floor plan. Outside the model houses because they are on the exterior of this development the lot sizes are a little bit bigger compared to the interior lots. So if you're looking to buy a house here you want a larger lot you want to find one that actually has an exterior lot rather than one on the interior of this brand new home community. So you have stainless steel appliances. Oftentimes the refrigerator washer and dryer are not included but I have a client right now that's getting them for about $5,000 from the builder. I have several people under contract on new houses in the Sacramento region and of course all of them found me through this YouTube channel. So thank you everyone for watching. Really cool drop zone. This would be the door to the two-car garage but that's a sales office. Let's go have a look upstairs. I love how they didn't put carpet on the stairway. This is one of the first times I've actually seen flooring other than carpet on the stairway. So straight ahead you have a washer and dryer area. I mean plenty of space. You can't do a what do you call it stackable but plenty of space over there and then really cool have all these shelving on the opposite side and looking outside it's really bright. You can see that gentleman walking off in the distance. There's a really cool walking path over there. I'll show some footage of that and there's also going to be a new 17 acre park that's going to be right there on the corner. Probably will be built sometime in 2027 I'm told. That's going to be 17 acres lots of play sets and things that kids would enjoy there instead of like the smaller park which is just next door next to the Seasons by Richmond American Homes. And here's a really good vantage point to show all the land that's going to be built out here. From my eye I can see the Sierra foothills. Actually the actual Sierra as I should say and all the snow-capped mountains. Absolutely beautiful. But a lot of houses to be built. They do have several move-in ready houses just off the distance right there but the rest of the houses are dirt lots in which you can pick all the fit and finishes. I have several clients right now under contract on new builds and they selected a lot they want and now they have the ability to select all the insides or all the fit and finishes inside the home. Then you have the full bath. This would be serviced by the two guest bathrooms and really cool upgrade on this. You have a tile up here and on the sides. Oftentimes it's just plastic and looking out the window next door is a larger home. It's a four bedroom. Stay tuned for that video and I don't see any cracked tiles. Someone reached out to me and said that they were laughing because I mentioned when I looked out the roof on one of these new houses I could see several broken tiles. It doesn't look good when you have a new home development. This is beautiful. Here's the primary bed. The wood paneling is an upgrade. I'm guessing the light fixture above as well. It has a huge window and outside there's a huge pond out there and there's tons of birds way off in the distance. You can see on the opposite end of this street, this is Americano, there's a walking slash bike trail. Really cool. And another look at the primary bed. Really wide open space. I love this shower stall because the shower stall is a frameless one so there's not a metal border on the end. Looks really nice. There's a little bench but of course you have the dual vanity. The white cabinets is an upgrade though. And then off to your right is the toilet and then we have a fairly good size walk-in closet for the primary bedroom. All right, let me flip you around again. Let's talk about some numbers in this community and also it's kind of interesting as well because this is Woodside Homes. My last video I made on this channel, I made a video at Richmond American Homes. That was Seasons at Cypress, which is basically right next door. We also have Artisa Del Sol by Beezer Homes, which is also more or less next door as well. And then we have Cahove, which is the ranch just on the opposite end of that park over there or the pond over there. So we have several developments within close proximity of this house or this development here. But Woodside Homes and also Richmond American Homes is owned by one company. So we basically have in the corner, in the south eastern part of this community is Artisa Del Sol, which is Beezer Homes. But for the vast majority of the houses in this vicinity here, they're actually owned by a company based in Japan. I'm going to do my best to actually google this and try to figure out the correct pronunciation of it is actually Seki Sui. Seki Sui Homes, which is a Japanese home builder that owns Richmond American Homes, as well as Woodside Homes. All right. So with that said, let's talk about some numbers and also some pros and cons as well. You guys appreciate, of course, transparency, I hope. So let's talk about this development. This again is called Willow at Cypress. There's going to be about 63 home sites total in this community. They do have several. I'd say there are four move-in ready houses. All the other houses for sale are dirt lots in which you can select all the fit and finishes inside. So 63 home sites total here at Willow at Cypress. There's going to be that 17 acre park next door. And homes here range from just under 1700 square feet to around 2400 square feet. There's no HOA. And like I mentioned, there's gas and electricity in these houses. The future is going to be all the houses are going to be electric. So this is obviously a opportunity if you're looking to buy a brand new house and you want to have gas appliances, for example. They do have five plans. They have the Fern, the Brook, the Haven and the Blossom. I'll make two other videos. One will be the Haven. The other one will be the Blossom, the biggest house they have for sale here at around 2400 square feet. The average lot size is around 4200 square feet. So this would be a little bit on the smaller size. Oftentimes, lot sizes around 5000 square feet, but the average here is around 4200 square feet. Melrose is actually on the lower side. It's around $354 per month. I have seen Melrose that are over $500 per month. So the Melrose here at around $354 per month is definitely on the lighter side. So let's talk about pros and cons here. So we already talked about prices. The base price, which excludes a lot premiums and any upgrades, is $480. They do have a move-in ready house that's $512,000 right now. So going back to pros again, sorry. Pros, we have gas appliances. If you like having a gas cooktop, for example, or range, then you have that opportunity at this development. Low HOAs, and of course, no HOA, like I mentioned. They do work with agents just like all the other home builders in the region, except for Lenar by my recollection. But all the builders in the region work with agents. So if you're looking to buy a house here, of course, reach out before you visit, because if you visit a new home site and you register with them, they won't allow you to be represented by your own agent. So they do work with agents here, happy to tour houses they have for sale here and answer any questions as well. And of course, negotiate a good deal. I mean, that's my main job, right? Another pro here is that future park that's going to be next door to this model home. Again, that's going to be around 17 acres, a lot of playsets, unlike the other parks nearby where it's very, very small and you basically only get like a park bench and a grassy area. You're also within about a five minute walk at a brand new elementary school that was called Grantline Elementary. Now they changed the name to Cypress Grove Elementary. They're building that right now. I'll show some B-roll for you guys. They're building that right now, and they are going to be open for the 2026-27 school year. That's a new elementary school coming up. Also, we're within about 10 to 15 minutes of grocery stores, coffee shops, Jamba Juice, really supermarkets, restaurants that are all within 10 to 15 minutes from this new home community. There's also a lot of walking paths. Like I mentioned as well, there's a pond just to the west of this new home community. So lots of walking and bike paths as well. It's also obviously within a more affordable price range. Houses here, the base prices are all less than $600,000, and this one is well under $500,000 for the base price. Of course, let's talk about the cons though, right? I want to be honest with you guys. So if you're looking to buy a house and you want to build a swimming pool in the backyard, have tons of fruit trees in the backyard, maybe this is not the community for you, given the fact the average lot size is around 4,200 square feet, which is definitely on the smaller size. However though, there are going to be parks nearby. There already are parks nearby. And of course, a smaller lot means less maintenance, which means less time spent outdoors. I spend a lot of time pruning fruit trees and other trees and raking leaves in my larger backyard. So I definitely would appreciate having a more smaller backyard, honestly. Also, another con here is that this is a brand new home community. The grand opening was just one week ago. So they just started selling houses here, which means that this is going to be a construction zone for quite some time. Because of course, they have a lot of land here. They have a lot of houses to be built here. The benefit though, of that though, is that normally the lowest prices for a brand new home community is at the first phase. Normally in an environment in which the market is fairly competitive, builders want to increase their prices for every phase. So therefore, this could be a benefit if you were to place an offer here and get under contract because you could be potentially buying a home here at the lowest prices that they're going to be offering at this home development at Cypress.
