How many more new homes will be built in the future?

A little over 11,000 homes.

I was curious about exactly how many more new homes are going to build in the future and after a little research, I've found the answer.  Here?s a summary of what I've found.

Numbers of homes planned to be built:

Orchard Hills: 1925
Eastwood Village: 682
Portola Springs: 1768
Great Park: 6706

Total: 11,081

I did not mention Cypress Village, Cypress Village East, Hidden Canyon and Stonegate since these neighborhood are either near build out or currently ongoing and there are no more future new build in these villages. Also noted that my calculation did not include apartments, low-income housing and high-rise condos and the number of future projects are also subject to change.

Mark my words, once they are done and sold all of the homes at Orchard Hills, Eastwood, and Portola Springs Irvine home prices will tick higher.
 
Yeah, buy one before they run out!

Remember this Irvine Housing Booming thread from 4 years ago about an OCR article that mentioned  over 23,000 new home will be build through 2020.  Now it looks like more than 50% of the estimated residential units are gone and looks like all the TIC's community are going to be sold out in about 5 years. 
 
Fascinating. 

I truly hope there are similar plans to improve the street/freeway infrastructure to alleviate Irvine's growing traffic congestion.

As of 2013 there were 236k residents.

What's the average number of people per home?  3?  And 23,000 new homes from 2012 to 2020?  So approx 69,000 more residents?  That's almost a 30% increase in population. 

The street and freeway planners have their work cut out for them... 
 
A lot of things can happen over the next 5 years. TIC had grand plans for RE in 2007 until the world economy tanked.
 
Maybe so and maybe FCB will continue to fork over money for them but mello and property taxes rising 2% per year (and compounding), rates rising and homes prices also rising would mean those who need a loan will need rising salaries to afford them which probably means inflation and who knows what the fed does if we actually get that and what effect that has on the business cycle.

I can say one thing..................... those rising property taxes/mello will make the older homes with low/paid off mello and lower HOAs with bigger lots attractive to just tear down and rebuild.

you think Irvine homes will go higher before the GP homes are sold?  Why is that?
 
any comments on Great Park Homes?  Will prices be lower than other The Irvine Company communities?
 
I don't know about price, but look for that Mello Roos sheet, a while back I think someone posted the preliminary one for Altair based on sq ft and it's even higher than BP from what I recall...
 
Once Irvine is built out price stabilizes. There will be no greedy developers trying to benchmark yet a higher price. As soon one sucker FCB buys at a new WTF bench mark price it becomes official. This is true for all new communities. I tracked Australia, New Zealand, Vancouver, Silicon Valley, Irvine, Weschester, North Jersey and the Gold Coast where new homes are being built FCB are driving up the prices. The 3 factors that are important to FCBs: authentic ethnic eateries and market, stellar schools and new homes. Once the area is finished FCBs move on to another upcoming new community. They are wiling to pay more for "new". When FCBs buying "resale" and seller without new home benchmark pricing to justify a higher ceiling FCBs will negotiate down the price and they are not embarrassed even if their offer is insultingly low. Rowland Heights reached it plateau and prices did not go any higher for a while. When the new nomes were being built at near by Brea Rowland Height resale prices benefited from the new benchmark pricings.

In the case of Irvine once it is built out the surrounding areas with proposed new homes will not be able to command a higher benchmark pricing like Irvine. FCBs will migrate to the neighboring cities for lower prices if they find sufficient ethnic amenities near by to justify their purchase.

This is already happening in Newark where 99 Ranch and 85 Celsius Bakery found cheaper rent just outside of Fremont. Newark is now at the infancy of a future buying frenzy. New communities are currently being built.

You got that right. I experienced that insultingly low offer and nasty "no one but Chinese can buy your house so u better hurry and take my offer or I'll buy the next door neighbors for even less and you won't ever see close to your price" attitude.

I thought.........well when all your Chinese friends do the same to you won't see your buying price again either so there! LOL!

If you want credit for a prediction, why not give us something meaningful. 

ANYONE could predict prices will "tick" up higher in any neighborhood in the future and have a 99% chance they will be right.  Give us a number or percentage and a date or period of time.  Otherwise this is a useless attempt at trying to be "right" at "some time" in the future. 

I predict the stock market will "tick" up "some time" in the future and maybe "tick" down after that.  I also predict the sun will rise and set tomorrow.  I will be back tomorrow night to bask in the glory of the correct call.
 
People think their homes will insanely appreciate forever. When Irvine is built out FCBs will only purchase new at full price. When the pool of buyers is limited to FCBs that is bad news. With the rate demographics is shifting white flight has begun and good luck finding a FCB willing to buy your resale at asking price. Looking at the trail of destruction FCBs left behind once completely infested a city like locusts. It is not a good sign. Look at Arcadia the Beverly Hills of FCBs. it is a mess. The city has serious regrets. Hopefully the HOA is the cure.

Ok, here's my prediction....within 2 years of the last new OH, PS, and EW homes closing prices will be up 8-10%.  I know some don't like to use the numbers of months of inventory but if there were no new homes to absorb buyer demand (especially for sub $1m homes), prices would be up at least 5% today.
