Get it here: Redfin iPhone App

Geez...same here, I was in London for a week and come back to missed drama apparently... <pout> I see some of my posts gone though so I guess i got in at the start...was someone banned?

Guess 41 Golden Eagle didn't sell in the online auction. It leads a list of homes going to auction on the Santa Ana courthouse steps.

The auction takes place online. I have toured the home before and thought it was one of the lower build quality homes from the very first phases within Shady. The stairs leading down to the home theater are at a steep angle so that was a major negative. Also elderly or stair challenged...

Drove by today and saw a sign with the auction website info and spoke to a broker who told me that the auction will take place next Saturday on the 6th and that no one was bidding now because people were waiting until the final day to bid. Get your bids in now! (link) ;)

I usually get an email of the weekend's open houses and I haven't yet received anything today so maybe because of the holiday weekend there aren't any. Redfin doesn't list any for this weekend either. There should be SOMETHING open there you would think. But yes, last few times I was up in...

"Happy Wife = Happy Life" What was the question?

Wow - and the real estate agent gave me a funny look when I told her it wouldn't sell for over $2.6MM because that's what 6 prairie grass sold for and was the largest model and this one is the smallest...then she tried with the old - but you cant use that as a comp because it was a foreclosure!

What did you think of the seagrass carpeting? I found it hard and not warm or inviting and if you take your shoes off it actually hurts your feet!

I'm still waiting for the "Shell sconces salvaged from the lost city of Atlantis". Seriously though - the best one that I've heard was touring the former "Gucci Estate" on Aliso Creek Beach previously owned by Severin Wunderman and lot was originally owned by Charlie Chaplin (now owned by the...

I cant imagine any realtor using a foreclosed comp in their factoring for listings...everytime I mention the last foreclosure sale in the Sycamores I just get a blank stare but then a subtle acknowledgment as in "oh yeah but we don't count that" plus the foreclosure sales dont make it into mls...

That same owner sold their company for around $700MM a few years back so I doubt they are hurting too bad. ;)

62 Canyon Creek was built for the owners son who never moved in and moved into a tract home instead so the owners put it on the market - or at least that's what the realtor told me ;) It always looked WAAYY overpriced with no subterranean like a lot of the neighboring homes and backed up to a...

Its actually fairly common in higher end homes. 95 Canyon Creek that just sold had one. It is a room right off of the kitchen that can be used as a mud room or a crafts room but the logic behind a gift wrapping room is actually pretty well thought out since many events will most likely be held...

Looks like John McMonigle has just sold his Shady Canyon home.
