Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) has identified key motivators that drive new-home shoppers to become buyers, ranging from needing more space to upgrading one's environment. The company's president, Todd Cunningham, stresses that peace of mind is as important as value, achieved by building high-quality homes in high-quality neighborhoods and maintaining a smooth purchasing process.
Buyers from Bakersfield cited the need for more space as their primary motivator. After researching WPG's reputation and touring model homes, they found that everything they wanted in a home, neighborhood, and community was available. Similarly, an empty nester couple from Rancho Santa Fe sought less traffic, less density, and more sun, ultimately downsizing to WPG's Monterra in La Quinta. They praised the fresh, clean-lined design and guest spaces like the casita, noting that the move was the best they had made across multiple states.
Quality and builder commitment were paramount for a couple who had built four custom homes. They found Monterra's architectural detail and finish quality surpassed their previous experiences. In Idaho, another couple appreciated the cleanliness of the build site and the steady communication with WPG. Their home was ready on time, and the walkthrough was thorough, with all necessary information provided. The couple emphasized WPG's continued responsiveness even after payment.
A couple from Bald Eagle Point in Idaho sought a single-story home after 38 years in a two-story house. They discovered WPG through a website and, despite the home not yet being built, made a leap of faith after their agent's research confirmed WPG's good reputation. They now enjoy a half-acre property with a home office and a sewing room.
In Palm Desert, a single professional purchased at Nova because he wanted a home he could truly love. He praised the layout, yard size, and proximity to amenities like hiking trails and Joshua Tree. Another couple from the Bay Area valued the walkable environment and expected the location to improve with future retail and dining options. They also appreciated having family nearby.
Buyers highlighted the financial benefits of a new home, noting that everything is new and requires no immediate fixes. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and casitas were popular for rental income or accommodating aging parents. One couple from San Diego chose WPG's University Park after studying floor plans and homesites, impressed by the quietness and simplicity of living.
Personalization options, such as layout variations and design choices, were a significant draw. WPG's Design Center helped buyers select cabinetry, floor coverings, and lighting. Leisure amenities like parks, pools, and pickleball courts were also key selling points. At Bald Eagle Point, The Perch offers a pool and fire pits, while Belcourt's Belcourt Center Club and University Park's The Grove provide resort-style amenities.
WPG's preferred lender, US Bank, with Jeff Weirsma and his team, assists buyers with financing, interest rate reductions, and incentives. Buyers praised the smooth process and expert guidance. One Nova buyer noted that customer service was spectacular through move-in and beyond, with issues resolved within 30 days of closing.
WPG, a privately held developer/homebuilder, has earned numerous awards for design and planning excellence. More information is available at www.woodbridgepacific.com.
