I'd suggest that you call the Woodbridge Village Association and ask them about the particular home you are thinking of buying. You can reach them at (949) 786-1800. Woodbridge is a huge village with lots of different types of housing, and there are a lot of unattached single family homes with...

I'd also double check on what your association fee may be. In Woodbridge the single family detached homes have one association fee of $78 (this covers the common facilities and pools, parks, etc.) but if this is an attached home or condo it will also has a second association fee. This second...

Here is another similar listing in Newport Beach, in the Port Streets. The agent (who is also the owner) wants you to believe that this is a 6 bedroom, 5,600 square foot house. But in reality it is an original condition 3 or 4 bedroom house...but he did get an architect to draw a nice picture...

Sorry I posted such an ugly/inappropriate home in this forum for classic neighborhoods and homes...I mainly was impressed with the back alley access so I grabbed a few examples. What do you think of this, for sale on the same street (ok, it is probably a McMansion with vinyl windows, so...

I just ran across a section of Newport Heights that has homes that face the street with garages in the back that are accessed by an alley. I ran across this on Redfin but I look forward to driving through the area this weekend to see them in person. BK - are you familiar with this area? A few...

If any of you are familiar with Corona Del Mar you have probably seen the large blue house on the bluffs above Bayside Drive and the large blue structure on the water below it. These two pieces of property are owned by the Irvine family and they have been in the family for 140 years. I went to...

Yes, that seems to be the case. The sellers think the value is $816k, the county thinks the value is $816k, but they want a buyer to pay $1.1 million! Sounds fair!

I've noticed a few homes on Redfin that have a property tax base that is lower than the last purchase price of a property. 31568 Eagle Rock Way in Laguna Beach, for example, is listed for sale for $1.075 million, was last sold in 2006 for $1.095 million, but it has a property tax base of only...

If you like this location you can pick up this nice little cottage down the street for a mere $40 million..... http://www.redfin.com/CA/Laguna-Beach/2665-Riviera-Dr-92651/home/3568698
