For speaking the truth. But, as you know, MAGAs are allergic to truths, which is why they voted for a serial liar.

I'm refinancing my 5.875% 7/6 ARM to 5.375% 7/6 ARM, using the $1M relationship program, which knocked off 0.5%, same as what I did when I closed escrow last July.

Delusional. No one is paying $5M+ for PS view lots anymore, let alone almost $6M.

Shea kept Cielo floorplans exactly the same.

I was referring to the original phase 1 by Irvine Pacific. But yes, the restart first few phases sold out immediately. We were lucky to be able to grab a home in the Shea phase 1. It turned out that Shea didn’t really raise prices in phase 2, only about $10-$20k, while New Home Company went...

Azul has the biggest floorplan because they added a bonus room where the vaulted high ceiling was. That gives you an extra 400-500 sqft. This is fine if you have a large family that requires more space and you don’t care about the high ceiling. But for us, this is a no-no, which is why we...

Yes, they tried to bank in on the $1M view lot premium like Olivewood did. The problem for Cielo is that their view lots were released at the wrong time. Way too late.

Mid $2M for non view lots. The mountain view lots were only about $100k more. Those sold out quickly while some non view were sitting there for a few months.

No. MR at Summit is around $5k.

Your figures are mixed up. $975/month and $20k MR don't go together.

Currently, it's $975 a month, but it's supposed to come down to $700+ after buildout.

Didn't you post earlier that someone put a deposit on that house? Did that buyer withdraw the deposit?

I thought we were doing apples to apples comparison and not apples to oranges comparison. MR at Summit is around $5k while MR at Altair is around $20k. There is a $15k difference for a property that costs that same at Summit and Altair, specifically on at $5M. So let me lay it out for you. $5M...

If you like to pay $20k a year for Mello-Roos, sure. That's $20k just for MR. Then you add another $50k for property taxes.

The so-called "money laundering" isn't necessarily by criminals. It could simply be rich high tech workers who hit it big during the recent tech boom moving their money out of China. When we bought our Bluffs home 3 years ago, the neighbors across from us bought their home for the sake of their...
