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.

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...

But you could have this problem? https://patch.com/california/lakeforest-ca/electric-vehicle-bursts-flames-irvine-intersection

What about the other ones on the price sheet? All reserved or sold?

Better than 3800 sq ft lot for a 3200 sq ft houses at Olivewood.

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...

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...

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. 😂

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

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.

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:

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.

ND has two cities in the top 5?

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