I have been to LA this past weekend. I looked into Toscana and they seem to have moved well compared to their struggling start. They have sold 3 phases except one house and I believe phase I is already moved in. Can some one explain what is going on. Is the market better already, I have feeling...

irvinehomeowner, 3CG for Toscana might not be a feasible option at this stage so does that mean price reduction in your opinion? Also Cortona is moving better but I agree probably a price reduction will really accelerate things up. also, what do you think of rkp suggestion about improving the...

Do you really think this will make things move. I am not very sure. It might help a bit but not move things IMO. I think there is also a huge credit tightening taking place. I think the banks on the other side when it comes to qualifying for loans. Also China did the same thing on credit which...

Trojon what do you mean by that I do not fully understand this statement :-) Thanks!

It turns out there will be two communities by Lyon on the closed school site: 1-Vista Verda (larger) maybe 2500-3000SFhttp://lyonvistaverde.com/the-vista-verde-story.html 2-Alderwood:http://www.lyonalderwood.com/ Both might have models and ready by Mid of next year.

which collection is this? is this a back ally garage homes?

kubert13, PS started with Woodbury almost but for some reason it was not moving. Maybe now they have reduced prices and made incentives that make it move much better. I have not been there in a while. So you guys think it is mainly price reason that things are not moving in LA. Is there is...

Because there is almost nothing the TIC can do to make it move. I was just wondering.

I went over the weekend to LA. Cortona is sold out for phase 1. Toscana still shows the two sold pins since day one so even the price reduction did not move things. Why do you guys things are not moving in LA. Give my the reasons in the order you think are contributing to the slow sales. The...

shokunin, what is the lot sizes at San Marino ?

shokunin, I am no expert but I think these builders were there during the boom and shortly after the bust trying to clear their books. But the current companies are mainly VP span out of TIC with these new companies since they realized that no one will touch it for a long time with their terms...

Is it just me or is there is something fundamentally wrong with that fact that new homes in Irvine are only build by "their builder" there is no true competition to tell us we are in a free true market with supply and demand basics. Is not that what is called Monopoly? Are other builders even...

sgip, so we know for sure there will be no airport there? I think that is definitely important info. It will be  a disaster if there was an airport in the area.

speaking of Great Park  do we have any info on this project? Thanks!

does TIC count stairs and garage areas in their total square footage?. I sure do not feel like these are the SF they claim they compared to similar non TIC homes.
