The initial price for the first 8 lots was $577,500. Due to rising construction costs, the remaining lots are priced between $604,369-$615,000 and in no case can any home be sold to an individual for a price greater than $615,000. Additionally, local employers may be eligible to purchase homes within Hopkins Village, provided the occupants are eligible to live in the homes, which will be approved the County prior to occupancy. There are no price restrictions for units sold to local employers.

Placer County is processing applications on a first come first serve basis. The developer, Daniel Fraiman Construction, will contact the qualified applicants to discuss lot selection and purchase agreements once approved by the County.
