How Trilogy at The Vineyards actually prices
Trilogy is priced against Summerset more than against the rest of Brentwood, because that is where a serious buyer is also looking.
Most buyers here are moving down rather than up, and the sequencing question is the same one either direction.
Buyers looking here almost always look at Summerset, Apple Hill and Brentwood as well. Trilogy at The Vineyards gets weighed against Summerset, almost always directly.
What matters when you are trading up
The decision that matters is the order. Sell first and you know exactly what you have, and your offer is clean, but you may be between houses for a stretch. Buy first and you never move twice, but you carry two payments until the first sells and you absorb any market movement in that window.
There is no general answer. There is your answer, and it comes out of your equity, your loan and how much risk you can actually stomach. We run both before you list anything.
The mistake to avoid in Trilogy at The Vineyards
The one we see most often here is starting the purchase before sorting out what happens to the current house.
Everyone opens this conversation talking about the next house. Bigger yard, another bedroom, a garage that fits actual cars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your equity, your tolerance for two payments and how thin inventory is in the range you are moving into. We model both with your real numbers. Anyone answering this without seeing your finances is guessing.
How quickly do homes move in Trilogy at The Vineyards?
Trilogy is priced against Summerset more than against the rest of Brentwood, because that is where a serious buyer is also looking. The first seven to ten days do most of the work, which is where we concentrate the effort.
Can I make an offer contingent on my house selling?
You can, and how well it lands depends on the market and how the rest of the offer is built. In a competitive situation it is a disadvantage, which is why we prefer to solve the sequencing first.
What goes wrong most often in Trilogy at The Vineyards?
The most common mistake is starting the purchase before sorting out what happens to the current house. The sequencing between your current home and this one is most of the work, and we solve it before you make an offer.
