Just curious if anybody who is in the market right now applied for a loan and got turned down? And if so what was the reason.

Just to clarify I did buy in March. I tried to put a link but it wasn't working. If you want to see it go to Zillow and type in 33771 Robles Dr 92629. I bought for so many reasons. I rented for 11 years and when I saw my now house my wife and I were blown away. We had decided on Irvine but the...

IPOP No offense but all of your posts I've seen sound totally like a Realtor or the NAR. You paint this rosy picture of the housing market that I think is very unrealistic. By the way I bought a house in March so it is in my best interest for the market to go up or at least hit bottom. But I...

Geo, I'm sorry but in this case you are completely wrong. The pictures that are posted on this listing were done by a really good Realtor. After seeing the front of the house on Google it is not what I would consider an $800,000 house. It screams out 1970's Irvine. The Realtor was smart. He...

I think what you guys forget is that this will not be a jumbo mortgage. If they put down 20% or 30% the amount financed is below the $725K limit so the buyer will get a rate of around 5 3/4 with no points. I'm not saying this house is worth what it sold for but getting financing wont be a...

Thanks for all the positive responses. We truly feel that we are on vacation at a resort. Actually the bottom floor has a wine cellar which is not pictured. The four car garage is because the left garage goes back about 25 feet. If anybody is interested in the builder I know that because of our...

After renting for eleven years and saving money my wife and I took the plunge and we bought a house in Dana Point see below. http://www.zillow.com/homes/map/33771-robles-dr-92629_rb/#/homes/for_sale/map/33771-robles-dr-92629_rb/33.473361,-117.70024,33.4712,-117.704139_rect/17_zm/ We...

Just curious what people who know the area of Turtle Ridge believe the price per square foot will be this winter and what it will be around the bottom of the market. Currently homes are selling in there for around $400 a square foot. I'm mainly interested in the Ledges. Crimson Rose, Tall Hedge...

Just curious. I have to say that the IQ of people on this site seems to be much higher than anywhere else. So here is the question. What will you be able to get in Irvine for 1M in early 2010. I'm really interested in the Turtle Ridge area. I appreciate everybodies input.

I think this is only for people currently in loans to keep them from foreclosure. I don't think this applies to new loans

My broker told me 18 months was plenty of time. My ex broker that is. My 350K would now be about 200K.

I was seriously looking for a place in Turtle Ridge for about 1M. I have now called off the search. I made a couple of offers and the sellers are living in Fantasyland. I will keep an eye on the market but I will probably buy next winter for 20-25% less than now. I don't think that most people...

NOT!!!!!!!!!

If Mccain loses next Tuesday and i believe he is going to Palin will be the front runner in 2012. I really like her and I think it is lousy how rude and horrible the left wing nutty media has treated her. Also they ask her questions they would never ask Biden. And Biden makes stupid comments and...

I'm looking 1M maybe 1.1. I'm hoping to get 3,000 sq ft house 7,000-8,000 sq ft lot in Turtle Ridge. I think the day is coming. Hopefully soon
