We are looking to sell our condo in Jan and are wondering what the current commission rate is. Is it still 6% or is 5% negotiable. Thanks.

IMO this is the best article written yet about the situation http://www.lagunabeachindependent.com/news/2009/0904/front_page/004.html

I am by no means an expert in Ladera, but I believe Covenant Hills is the nicer part of Ladera and farther away from the power lines. Right now Ladera is a short sell heaven(or hell). I think you should expect to pay 700-900K for a home in your price range...maybe less depending on if it's...

fact is the more you make the more you get killed in taxes. At least you can deduct the mortgage interest...so the difference between a 600K and 800K house may not be as big as you may think if you make 150K.

I would buy in Ladera over Irvine(except Shady of course). You get so much more for your money...newer, landscraping, good schools. I don't get why people like Irvine so much.

the fact is nobody knows if this is a bottom or it has more to fall. Those that think it's going down another 25-50% are hoping it will...doesn't make it so. IMO this may be good time to buy the right property, maybe a foreclosure or short sell. I do think the housing market is similar to the...

covenant hills is really nice. Much nicer than Aliso and Irvine IMO(except shady). Newer houses and bigger lots. HOA and taxes are high and Ladera location is kinda "out there"

Irvine was bought by Hoag and will reopen mainly as an orthopaedic hospital. But there will eventually be med/surg beds used there as well. Hoag envisions it as a satellite campus. Part of the deal for Hoag getting the lease was that they had to have the ER open.

skek, thanks for that response. I am sorry if it sounded like I was trying to pump that stock. I was just trying to describe how I lost a bundle on investing in a friend's startup.

excuse me skekie but I was not pumping a "boiler room stock", I was merely stating how I became a part owner of a startup company and so far have lost a crap load of money on it. I didn't tell anyone to buy it. Maybe you're a little sore that Obama won?? Try some deep breathing exercises...

my sources are solid

So I read that Villa del Lago had a price increase...from 75 million to something like 89 million. Who's gonna buy this place...Bill Gates?!What's he hoping for a crazy billionaire? And he also lost the Portabello listing...about 75 mill And now I hear from different sources that he...

I know and work with just about every doctor in Newport Beach. IMO, if you want a great PCP with exceptional knowledge and a great bedside manner, give Dr. Dennis Jordanides a call. He's been in the area about a year, prior to coming to Hoag he was a practicing internist(internal medicine) in...

Let's face it, if you have 2+ kids and want a new decent sized house with 9000K sq foot plus yard, your options are basically Talega, Ladera, and parts of laguna niguel and SJC. Ideally we'd rather have a house in Newport Coast or Laguna Beach, but it'd cost us 2-3 million which we can't...

I lived in Omaha for 4 years and it was the pits. Harsh cold winters and bad humidity during the summers. So I'd probably not consider the midwest. Maybe the Rocky Mountains, like Colorado....Boulder I hear is nice. Also Austin, TX...although I've never been, everyone I know who has loved it.

Those people are just a bunch of posers. They all just have really low self esteem since they all just constantly flaunt their pseudo-wealth and talk behind each other's back. I wouldn't shed a tear if they all went bankrupt.
