I noticed three homes for sale in Hidden Canyon
https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/112-Gardenview-92603/home/112725511 - $4.3m ($945/sq ft)
https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/105-Whiteplume-92603/home/112725619 - $4.28m ($894/sq ft)
https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/114-Heather-Mist-92603/home/112725749 - $4.28m ($886/sq ft)
after Hidden Canyon recorded the most expensive home sale on record a few weeks ago.
https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/138-Scenic-Crst-92603/home/112725389 - $9m ($1406/sq ft).
Spoke to the realtor who started this low price shopping spree within Hidden Canyon (114 Heather Mist realtor). Michael Chen •DRE #01913609 • RE/MAX Universal Realty 626-818-5808 (agent)
mikechen@altruasia.com (agent). Asked him why such a discrepancy in pricing? (This was when his listing was the only one on the mls). He said it was deliberate, to create a bidding war. Only problem is there was a 12 party bidding war on the 138 Scenic Crest home, which was initially price at $8.88.
If these other properties followed the same $/sq ft, adjusted downwards due to significantly smaller lots, you still come to a price around $6m (adjusted for inflation, and lack of inventory supply). What is the advantage of anchoring the initial price of these homes so low? Is a bidding war going to get these homes 40% more of a sales price? Any experienced realtors or home investors want to chime in? I'm trying to figure out if maybe these are just grossly under priced and I should make an offer to purchase one.

All 3 are beautiful homes. I especially like the 114 Heather with the glass pool. At 4 + million, the buyers pool thin-out.
If you need the space and have the dough, I would buy it. I am too poor to even consider anything close to south of the 405.

I'm not going to lie, it's tricky to price these larger homes because there's many more variables that go into it than smaller tract homes. I do find that most agent are still somewhat underpricing their listings even given the higher comps.

Looks like someone saw the $9m Scenic Crest sale and wants to capitalize too

Holy moly.
What did these originally sell for? $2m?

Just looked at these listings... the $9m ones have much better locations and lot sizes than the other 3.
But Heather Mist just closed for $5.1m.

Original buyer of heather mist bought it for 2.8m and sold it in 2020 for 3m. That second buyer made 2m in 2 years.

Still gonna be a big tax bill despite the $500k gain exemption.
