    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Yesterday, I took my son to John Wayne Airport, and when we stopping at the Irvine and Sand Canyon intersection, around 8:30am, we could smell the landfill. The odor was strong, even inside the car. On the other hand, I was at Hoag urgent care center at Woodbury last Wednesday, around 8:15am...

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    Someone must've pressed the wrong button.

    Yeah, pictures of the backyard shows that the lot is much much smaller than that. 0.46 acres for SFH in North Irvine is unheard of, let alone detached condos. It's 20,037 sf. Not even the biggest TB lots at Summit are close to that big.

    True. I guess I don't pay enough attention to the listings north of Portola Pkwy.

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    Yeah, Feng Shui aside, my biggest concern with a house at a T-junction is that a car could just crash into your house.

    Pay off mortgage or continue to invest?

    What does it matter what the current rates are if you locked in at sub 3% or even as low as 2% back in 2021?

    ICE at the Spectrum?

    The tweet is funny. "That's over 1 million in US dollars" like that means anything. :ROFLMAO: At least, say "That's over 200 million in US dollars" if you do the conversion correctly. 1 USD = 7.1687 CNY. In that case, that's a crap load of houses.

    I think lot 40 and the ones besides it do have the view of the landfill. That's why it's going for $5M while lot 66 is going for $7.2M.

    I would say it's a buyer's market now in the 92618 area. Listings are cutting prices and are mostly selling below asking price. For the $1.4M-$1.7M price range, you can't really find anything in PS, though, so that leaves just the GP area. The Hillside listing in PS are above $1.8M still.

    Lot 66 is a view lot and lot 40 isn't. I guess view lot premium is still $2M. It's likely that lot 66 is also bigger than lot 40. It's possible that lot 66 is 5121 sqft while lot 40 is 4514 sqft. And from the map, it looks like lot 66 has a bigger lot size as well.

    Even with a pool, it doesn't cost $500k for a decent yard, especially with these lots. If you were talking about those 10k+ sf TB lots, sure. But these are sub 7k sf lots, most of which are even sub 6k sf lots.

    ??? You don't need $500k for a decent yard. Even $300k would give you a GREAT yard. These Brookfield lots aren't that big, only a bit bigger than my Cielo home and we only spent $120k on landscaping.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    GP and PS are old news. Summit is what PS and OH were a couple of years ago. And from what I heard, none of the TB buyers are investors, so they are not likely to back out. The ones that backed out of GP/PS were investors who knew they were losing money if they went through with it.

    Weren't you the one that say they wouldn't sell at all? They're selling much better than you claimed. I wasn't wrong about the 300 people on the waitlist.
