    Builder Installed New Home Solar Tax Credit

    As folks are getting ready to file taxes, I am sure they must have this question if they bought a new home. For a Brand new home in Irvine, if a builder installs solar, who takes the Solar Tax credit? Builder or Owner? What documents he/she need from the builder to take this credit? Who...

    What’s the story behind this Altair listing? https://redf.in/dbtp6u Is it the beginning of auctions and foreclosures as tech sector layoffs keeps coming?

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    My observation is that Altair houses doesn't hold its value in downturn as much some of the neighboring communities. Maybe because of Great Park Association and high taxes. I have seen very high turn over in that community. My friend bought a similar home in Altair this March and paid $3.3M...

    Sierra prices are the direction for future releases of Highlands and Bluffs. Looks like the remaining Highland view lots will be $2M+ and Bluffs will be $1.8M+. Interest rate hikes and inflation is not slowing things down here..It can no longer be a value village as described by some earlier!!

    How accurate is this info and where are you get info on 3 models each? Any update on the timing would be helpful? Looks like IP is pretty tight lipped on the development especially the sales lady at Highland. She never seems to give straight answers!!

    New Community Developments

    Who did you talk to at Highlands? Cheryl H. or someone else? I am trying to get some timing info but no luck so far from the sales agent. I guess they want to sell the remaining Highland first and not cannibalize  it with new community!
