What to know before buying in Hitch Ranch
Hitch Ranch is a planned community of about 277 acres in Moorpark, north of Poindexter Avenue and west of Casey Road. The Moorpark City Council approved the specific plan in June 2022 for 755 homes, a mix of single-family and multi-family, with 15% set aside as affordable housing. The plan also dedicates a 23.44-acre parcel to the city for future affordable housing, and adds about 4.5 miles of multi-use and equestrian trails.
Comstock Homes took the project through approvals, and in August 2025 the investor Hearthstone bought the land for $59.4 million to finish the site work and sell lots to builders, including Comstock and Lennar. Grading was underway by January 2026. The city has approved plans for two parks: a 7.23-acre passive park with trails and native plants, and a 6.77-acre active park with a village green, amphitheater, splash pad, and playground.
No homes are for sale yet. The city's parks director said in early 2026 that the developer plans to open model homes in 2028, and the parks will be built after the 400th home. Expect a mix of starter homes, larger-lot homes, and move-up homes, plus a Hitch Ranch community facilities district for park upkeep. A local buyer's agent who tracks the launch and registers you with each builder before your first visit keeps you early in line and keeps your rebate intact.

Stack your rebate on top of Hitch Ranch builder incentives
Most buyers walk into a model home and take the builder's deal as offered. The cheapest house in the neighborhood comes from layering three savings.
The builder's incentive
Hitch Ranch builders advertise rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, and design-center allowances. Those stay yours when you buy with TurboHome.
Your TurboHome rebate
Builders pay the buyer's agent commission. We keep a flat fee and credit you the rest at closing, about $15,000 on a $1,000,000 home.
What we negotiate on top
Lot premiums, upgrade pricing, and discounts on finished spec homes. Builders rarely offer these to buyers who don't ask.
- Home price
- $1,000,000
- Builder-paid commission (2.5%)
- $25,000
- TurboHome flat fee
- $10,000
- Your TurboHome rebate
- $15,000
Example at a 2.5% builder-paid commission. Builders set their own buyer-agent compensation, and your rebate is confirmed in your written buyer agreement and on the closing statement.

Buying without an agent
no rebate
Buying through the builder's sales office alone returns no commission to you. Builders set their own buyer-agent compensation, so confirm it before you sign.
How we negotiate with Hitch Ranch builders
TurboHome agents work with new-construction buyers all the time. We know where builders have room to move, and the builder's sales rep works for the builder.
Spec homes priced to move
A finished home that sits costs the builder money every month. We look for inventory that has lingered and push for a lower price or a bigger credit.
Lot premiums and upgrades
Premiums for lake, greenbelt, and cul-de-sac lots are often negotiable, and design-center upgrades carry a markup. We ask for both before you sign.
Incentives without lender lock-in
Many incentives require the builder's preferred lender. We have you get an outside quote so you can see what the incentive is really worth.
Timing the ask
Builders work toward quarter-end and section close-out targets. We time offers to the moments a sales office most needs a contract.
Contract review
Builder contracts are written by the builder. We go through deposits, construction delays, and warranty terms with you before you commit.
Independent inspections
New does not mean flawless. We recommend a third-party inspector at pre-pour, pre-drywall, and the final walkthrough.
Builders announced for Hitch Ranch
- Lennar
- Comstock Homes
Builder plans can change before sales open. Ask us for the latest lineup and expected opening dates.
Get on our list before sales open
Many builders only pay a buyer's agent who is with you, or registered, on your first visit or interest-list signup. Join a Hitch Ranch interest list alone and the builder can decline to pay agent commission. Without it, there is no TurboHome rebate.
Tell us you are interested. We watch for the first releases, register you with each builder, and keep your rebate on the table.

What our local agents check in Hitch Ranch
The details that change your monthly payment or resale value, and that a model home tour won't mention.
Get on interest lists early
Model homes are planned for 2028. Our local agents register you with Lennar, Comstock, and any other builder before your first contact, so your rebate stays protected.
Ask about the park timeline
The parks are scheduled after the 400th home. We ask builders where each phase sits so you know what will be built near your lot and when.
Watch the affordable home rules
15% of homes are set aside as affordable housing with income limits. We help you see which homes are market rate and which have restrictions.
Watch the approvals, not the hype
Planned communities can stall in court or in permitting. Our local agents follow the public record and tell you when sales are realistically close.
Price the lender incentive both ways
Builder rate buydowns often require the builder's lender. We get an outside quote so you can see what the incentive is really worth before you commit.

Buying in Hitch Ranch: common questions
Yes, when the builder pays buyer-agent compensation. TurboHome keeps a flat fee and credits you the rest at closing. On a $1,000,000 home with 2.5% compensation, that would be $25,000 minus a $10,000 flat fee, for a TurboHome rebate of $15,000. Your lender confirms how the credit is applied.
