I spent four years bouncing around various junior colleges while I worked full time after HS, then got a degree at CSUF. Today I work at a top 5 global consultancy where I help Fortune 100 companies improve their sales function. Most of my colleagues went to Ivy or other top public schools...

That is a nice lot. Need to stage these homes. You can't get a sense for the space with these pictures.

Yes. ALL OF THIS. I'm also specifically intent on staying in Beckman as we sell our current home and look for an upgrade in Tustin Ranch, West Irvine, OH. Appreciation has nothing to do with it for me -- just where I will enjoy living and raising my family.

I'm guessing P4/X is $1.525-1.545M I think the plans look good. What is the demographic makeup of the OH neighborhoods? Same as the other new Irvine neighborhoods?

You never give me good news.

Just got here. What did I miss?

You're probably right... but WTF!?!? I'm still hoping this is just a mini-bubble.

$574k - Jan $636k - May (includes pre-packaged upgrades)

Yes, absolutely. I'm already priced out of Plan 3. And I'm not buying Plan 1.

If you're waiting for Cambria, I can tell you that those being offered homes currently registered on launch day in January.

Those close to me have worked in both districts and confirm that the caliber of employees is much higher in Irvine than Saddleback.

As interest rates rise, you'll see fewer cash buyers as folks will look for other investment vehicles. Obviously its a myriad of factors.

Another benefit for an IAC renter is that you don't have to pay the lease cancellation fee, which is $3k for me. So between that in the few thousand in renters equity, it's a sizable difference.

Your home is worth more now because you rode out the downturn. That is exactly my point ... if you buy high now, be prepared to have to live through the dip that is bound to come. I see pricing falling when interest rates rise, which is bound to happen.

This is ridiculous. The impact is that if you buy a home right now, you have to LOVE IT... that is, you need to be prepared to live there at least 10 years because it is very possible/likely that buyers today could be under water in 6 years when they want to upgrade.

You can rent a nice IAC apt with similar sq ft for $1000/mo less. Makes no sense.

Anyone have latest prices?

For us, it's a few things (no particular order): 1) It's got a lot of shopping and decent food (some good non-chain asian restaurants for instance) 2) Our friends live in Irvine, and others are north of here (e.g., Brea) 3) Lake Forest isn't too far south, but is an older, less attractive...

It's getting too expensive for me too. I will look elsewhere and will patience. I'll buy when something I like is available at the price I can afford. Simple as that. Plenty of rental options in the meantime.

Oh.. I thought they were talking about new neighborhoods. This is old news. my bad.
