Cadence Real Monthly Costs (No Fluff Math)
$536K Cadence Family Home (2,200 sqft, 10% down):
Principal + Interest: $3,200 | Taxes + Insurance: $450 | HOA: $280 | Summer Power: $500
Total: $4,430/mo | CA Magic: $25K/yr tax savings vs Orange County
The Cadence Price Spectrum: New Build vs. Resale
- The Entry Level ($400K – $495K): This is dominated by Phase 7 townhomes (Toll Brothers) and smaller KB Home lots. This is the #1 target for your Seattle tech-renters looking to buy their first property.
- The Family Sweet Spot ($525K – $650K): This is where you find the Richmond American and Lennar 4-bedroom homes. In 2026, many of these are hitting the market as "near-new" resales, offering a move-in-ready alternative to waiting for a build.
- The Premium Greenbelt Tier ($700K+): These are homes backing the Central Park or the Phase 7 greenbelts. They command a 10-15% premium but offer the "Irvine" views your OC clients expect.
