Ouch... No jmoney74, just pay a lot of taxes :) And, ouch qwerty, actually I think a NET of 500k+++ is still too little but for the sake of staying on topic - maybe because we are 24-25 and hold cash for investments. Yet I think most Irvine residents want to keep cash for investments too...

So beautiful indeed. Beautiful landscaping as well and amazing parks. But I'd like to ask... Who can afford Parasol Park? I don't understand it and need someone to put up an argument.. Isn't the mellaroos around $7-10,000 per year + subject to a 2% increase? Isn't there also a 1.5-1.8% property...

Yes, 100% agree USCTrojan. I'm an Irvine buyer and I will be buying conservatively as well. Petaluma preapproved us for $1m, but gee, I'm not going to go close to that. My thoughts are simply that Irvine is a very stable market - families here are certainly making money and want their kids to...

Generally higher interest rates lead to slower home purchases\affordability - however, the question is... Do these same laws apply to buyers in Irvine? I have a feeling it won't affect Irvine buyers much...

Think tract homes like Eastwood Village will be down too? No way.... really?

2018 im thinking the market crashes and we might be in WWIII, knock on wood. Hahaha at least we will maintain value though :)

You serious @Bangbros? even on the little sliver of land that we have? Haha And lol - Supreme Newness. Of Course!

WOW! This is starting to be a hard choice. Terraza's floor plan is SO cool. Especially with bifolding doors. What are your guys thoughts on the properties? I feel like EW Village is so hard to beat with the lower HOA and just supreme New-ness. Still love Petaluma Res 2 and trying to get the...

Hahaha, only a week now. This next lot that opens up should have a bit of a bigger backyard. Very tempting. Saw it mentioned on the other thread as well.

They need to step up and give me my plan 2! Man I have a feeling its going to take a while..

I am actually leaning now toward the Petaluma 2, and no particular lot in general. Should I be worried about the cell towers? Just dropped by the sales gallery today and they had 4 or 5 Residence 3's still available. On top of that, they were supposed to release the new phase this weekend, but...

Best practices for negotiating with Petaluma \ Villages of Irvine? Share your experience! Ask for included upgrades, not price deductions? Thank you!

Yes. Location all the way. Thoughts on Petaluma vs Orchard Hills equivalent? Thought Orchard Hills was beautiful and "private" but still in a decent location. Also in the Irvine school district with Northwood High. I'm assuming the privacy and home in the hills is why its a bit more expensive.

What are your guys thoughts on Petaluma and Legado at Portola Springs? What is the general consensus of Portola Springs and Eastwood Village? PS seems SO far. Who are the people that are willing to live in that area?

Yoyo2012, That is a huge pro-tip! I will look into Helena 3 + premium yard. This is pretty smart since it's only our first home and we don't need to spend the extra xx-xxxK on it. I would be happy in either. thank you very much for your response.
