What to know before buying in Sanctuary
Sanctuary, often called Sanctuary Village, is a neighborhood of about 386 homes on 78 acres near Cherry Street and Stevenson Boulevard in Newark, Alameda County. The Sobrato Organization assembled the land, and Landsea Homes and KB Home built the homes starting around 2019. It sits close to I-880, the Dumbarton Bridge, and Silicon Valley job centers.
Landsea built about 108 homes in Skylark, priced from around $1.5M when new. KB Home built Primrose and Rosebriar, about 192 homes, with more compact plans. The neighborhood has small parks and paths, and the Silliman Activity and Family Aquatic Center is nearby. NewPark Mall, the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the tech campuses in Fremont and Menlo Park are all within a short drive.
New sales have ended, so homes here sell as resales. Buyers often compare Sanctuary with newer townhomes elsewhere in Newark and Fremont. A local TurboHome agent can show which plans hold value, check HOA and tax details, and negotiate with sellers, and the TurboHome rebate lowers your cost at closing.

Stack your rebate on top of the deal in Sanctuary
Most buyers take the listing as offered. The cheapest house in the neighborhood comes from layering three savings.
The seller's or builder's incentive
Sellers in Sanctuary can offer price cuts or closing-cost credits, and any builder still selling there may advertise rate buydowns. Those stay yours when you buy with TurboHome.
Your TurboHome rebate
When the seller or builder pays the buyer's agent commission. We keep a flat fee and credit you the rest at closing, about $20,000 on a $1,400,000 home.
What we negotiate on top
Price, repairs after inspection, and seller-paid closing costs. Sellers rarely offer these to buyers who don't ask.
- Home price
- $1,400,000
- Seller- or builder-paid commission (2.5%)
- $35,000
- TurboHome flat fee
- $15,000
- Your TurboHome rebate
- $20,000
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 in Sanctuary: common questions
Yes. On a resale, TurboHome keeps a flat fee from the buyer-agent commission and credits you the rest at closing. On a $1,400,000 home with 2.5% buyer-agent compensation, that is $35,000 minus a $15,000 flat fee, or a $20,000 TurboHome rebate. Buyer-agent compensation on resales is negotiated, so your agent confirms it before you write an offer.
