Talk to a Specialist →Valencia Del Mar's sales materials describe a grand social hall, a restaurant with indoor and patio seating, a sports lounge, and a spa with steam rooms and private treatment suites — and all of that is real, more ambitious than anything the earlier nine Valencias built. What the sales materials describe less clearly is the experience of being an early buyer in a community that is, by definition, not done yet.
What early ownership at an active construction site actually looks like
You close, and your neighbors are still construction crews
New-construction GL Homes contracts start closings while other phases are still being built out. Expect construction traffic, equipment noise during work hours, and dust — not forever, but for as long as it takes to sell out the remaining phases.
The signature amenities (restaurant, spa, sports lounge) may not be open yet
Marketing photography for amenities under construction is typically a rendering, not a photograph. Ask directly for the current completion date on the restaurant and spa specifically — not the general "amenity center" completion date, which can refer to a partial opening.
Your HOA fee is estimated, not established
A newly forming HOA has no multi-year financial history. The fee quoted at contract signing is a builder projection based on projected costs for a fully built-out community — it can move once the community stabilizes and the HOA takes over from the developer.
Eventually, it becomes what the brochure promised
Once sold out and the amenity campus is fully operational, Del Mar becomes exactly the newest, most amenity-rich Valencia the marketing describes — and early buyers who tolerated the construction phase typically see the benefit in resale value once the community matures, the same pattern every earlier Valencia followed.

Why the price is the highest in the series — and what that premium is actually buying
At $600K–$900K+, Del Mar sits well above every earlier Valencia, including Sound (the previous newest, at $500K–$800K+). Some of that gap is genuine new-construction pricing power. Some of it is the restaurant, spa, and sports lounge — amenities no other Valencia offers on-site. Buyers should be honest with themselves about which one they're actually paying for: if you want the newest floor plans at any price, Del Mar delivers. If you want the Valencia lifestyle at a proven, stabilized price, Shores or Reserve deliver a comparable experience for meaningfully less, without the construction-phase tradeoffs.
