What to know before buying in Wallis Ranch

Wallis Ranch is a gated master-planned community of about 806 homes on 184 acres in north Dublin, Alameda County, off Tassajara Road. Construction began in 2016 with eight builders, including Pulte, Trumark Homes, D.R. Horton, Warmington, KB Home, Taylor Morrison, and Emerald Homes. It won the 2017 Gold Nugget award for master-planned community of the year.

The center of the community is the Kindred House, a 17,000-square-foot clubhouse with a 75-foot pool, fitness rooms, and event space. Trails, parks, and hillside views surround the homes, and the Antone School building was preserved as a community space. Shopping at Fallon Gateway and I-580 are a few minutes away. Dublin/Pleasanton BART is about a 15-minute drive, and the Tri-Valley's wineries and regional parks are close for weekends.

New construction has ended, so buying here means a resale. Prices vary by builder, lot, and view, and HOA dues are part of the monthly cost. A local TurboHome agent can compare sales by collection, check the HOA budget, and negotiate with sellers, and the TurboHome rebate lowers your cost at closing.

Stack your rebate on top of the deal in Wallis Ranch

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 Wallis Ranch 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 $25,000 on a $1,600,000 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.

What our local agents check in Wallis Ranch

The details that change your monthly payment or resale value, and that a listing won't mention.

  • Factor in the HOA

    The gated entries and the Kindred House clubhouse are paid for through HOA dues. Add them to your monthly budget.

  • Compare by builder

    Eight builders worked here. Ask your agent for recent sales from the same builder and plan type.

  • Check view and slope lots

    Hillside lots can carry higher prices and different maintenance needs. Ask about retaining walls and drainage.

  • Verify school assignment

    Dublin Unified boundaries change as new schools open. Confirm the school for the exact address.

  • Drive Tassajara Road at rush hour

    North Dublin traffic builds at commute times. Test the drive to I-580 before you make an offer.

Buying in Wallis Ranch: 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 $1,600,000 home with 2.5% buyer-agent compensation, that is $40,000 minus a $15,000 flat fee, or a $25,000 TurboHome rebate. Buyer-agent compensation on resales is negotiated, so your agent confirms it before you write an offer.
