    Cielo million dollar price drops

    I don't see the point of 6 full baths. In fact, I would stay away from it for that. And Cielo home are 4.5 baths, which is perfect. Guests only need a powder room, not a full bathroom. Well, I guess 4 baths + 2 powder (1 downstairs and 1 upstairs) would better than 4.5 baths.

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    105 Drumbeat is on a smaller lot, 4842 sq ft. For families that want bigger sq ft and not care about high ceiling, 104 Sunnybank is better. It should be Plan 3X with the bonus room. 104 Sunnybank should also have better resale value. Not sure if the Azul Plan 3X has the optional Outdoor Living...

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    This would have been true if it weren't for the fact that the rates during COVID-19 were artificially low and we would never ever going to see the rates that low again. So it was foolish to not buy it at that point if you weren't cash buyers. Normally, I would say buy at low purchase price and...

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    Yup, buy right after the housing crash for the cheapest price and then refi in 2021 for the lowest rates. 2022 wasn't really a best time to buy anymore as rates started climbing March 2022 and housing price started increasing July 2021. I reserved Bluffs 2 in November 2021, and by that time, it...

    Is this a good time to buy?

    I wouldn't mind if some of my neighbors were empty houses either. More quiet neighborhood and not so many cars on the street. My street consists of 10 houses, so it would be nice if half of them were empty. 😂

    Is this a good time to buy?

    It is more accurate to say shiny new (stinky) North Irvine is designed and marketed towards rich Chinese. :ROFLMAO:

    Is this a good time to buy?

    Spring is usually the peak pricing, but probably also when there is the most inventories. Price starts coming down in the summer and even further in the fall. Mortgage rates had also been shooting up recently, so I would say now it's not a good time to buy.

    2026 Happiest Cities in America

    Hybrid, at best, like 3 days in the office. No full remote jobs anymore. Even VMWare engineers were invited by Hock Tan to look for another job if they insisted on not coming into the office 5 days a week. Not even hybrid would do. :ROFLMAO:

    2026 Happiest Cities in America

    I don't think Fremont is more expensive than Irvine. And Fremont is quite a bit cheaper than the Santa Clara County cities to the south, but commuting to San Jose for work is a pain though.

    President Trump

    Considering how he had been running things behind the scene in recent years, I would say it's just history repeating itself.
