    Is this a good time to buy?

    Probably buyer having issues with closing the loan? A month and a half isn't really that long.

    Portola Springs land dev North of Bluffs,Hillside and Highland? adjacent to 241?

    It would have made sense to have the homes at the top to be the biggest on largest lots, just like the TB Skyline and Pinnacle homes at OH Summit. I remember when we were looking at the Highland model homes, I told my wife that it would be nice to live up there on that hill. We had a chance to...

    Portola Springs land dev North of Bluffs,Hillside and Highland? adjacent to 241?

    Yeah, but Olivewood is similar to Cielo and Azul. You could argue that Olivewood is smaller now that Azul 2X and 3X have become way bigger, but Arbor is way smaller than them. And Arbor is detached condo.

    You misspelled Arbor. Arbor and Olivewood are the ones sitting at the top.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    I mean, the backyard isn't huge, but it's A LOT bigger than Olivewood and slightly bigger than Azul, and comparable to the sub-5000 sq ft lots at Cielo. It looks comparable to 124 Sunnyslope in the Cielo thread that is listing for $3.6M. 🤣

    For $3.4M, 8000 sq ft lot is plenty big. 🤣

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    Extremely delusional. 111 Orbit, which is a Plan 3, with a bigger lot and also doesn't have neighbor on one side, started listing at $3,560,000 and reduced to $3,350,000 before finally giving up. 107 Orbit, a Plan 2 with a bigger lot as well, started listing at $3,398,000 before reducing to...

    Does it? Let's look at some timeline from when the Iran war started, which caused 10-year and oil prices to climb. Oil price will max out at $120. 2/27/2026: 10-year - 3.962% WTI - $67.02 Nasdaq - 22,688 5/15/2026: 10-year - 4.595% WTI - $101.02 Nasdaq - 26,225

    How would a stock market crash affect bloomers who don't invest in the market and already paid off their mortgages? And the market WILL NOT crash this year. AI capex is still too high for that to happen. A stock market correction won't happen until next year, at the earliest.

    We will not go back to pre Covid pricing. Lots of boomers have either paid off the mortgages or sitting on sub 3% mortgages, so mass layoffs won't affect pricing much.

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    Their initial listing was a bit high and they were unfortunate to list at a bad time. Rates jumped quite a bit after Trump started the Iran war on Feb 28th. Spring would be the best time to list, but Trump screwed them with his war. Oh well.

    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.
