Corcoran homebuyers complain of delayed PG&E service tied to new D.R. Horton homes; builder offers refunds
Summary
Homebuyers told the Corcoran City Council on July 9 that PG&E connection problems tied to recently purchased D.R. Horton homes have delayed move-ins; a D.R. Horton Central Valley representative told the meeting the company is working to resolve the issue and offered full refunds to affected buyers.
At the July 9 Corcoran City Council meeting, several homebuyers said delays in establishing PG&E service have prevented them from moving into newly purchased D.R. Horton homes.
Natalie Sierra, who identified her address as 120 Cardoso Avenue, told the council she purchased a home from D.R. Horton and has experienced what she described as a problem involving PG&E and the builder that has affected her move-in date. Real-estate agent Reina Madrid said she represents six clients who are facing similar delays. Mario Carvalho also raised the same concern.
Goreen Demetrius, introduced at the meeting as a representative of D.R. Horton’s Central Valley Division, told attendees the company is trying to resolve the PG&E connection issue and offered affected homebuyers a full refund of any monies paid "with no questions asked" if they prefer that remedy over waiting for service to be established.
The issues were raised during the meeting’s public-comment period; council members did not take a formal action on the matter during the session. The transcript records several buyers raising the same concern but does not specify how many homes are affected in total or what the root cause of the PG&E delay is.
Next steps were not recorded in the public portion of the meeting. The matter may be pursued outside the public session or through follow-up with PG&E, D.R. Horton or city staff, none of which is detailed in the meeting record.
