    What if California defaults on its debt?

    Also, get rid of intergenerational transfer of prop 13 basis. That's right, the clifftop laguna homes that grandma bought in the 50s and is now passing to her kids? Keeps 1973+2% p.a. tax rate. http://hubpages.com/hub/Preserve-Your-Prop-13-Base-Year-Value-For-Your-Children BTW, i...

    Could Irvine turn into the Beverly Hills of Orange County?

    OK, here's my opinion on the BH debate: 1) Irvine will be BH when the business district by the airport is Century City. I'm talking 50-60 story office towers, and the condo towers are like Wilshire blvd. 2) Irvine needs some sort of home grown wealth creation engine and the above won't...

    Shady Canyon

    Looks like 94 Canyon Creek was originally listed in January at $5.5MM, which dropped a few times to land at $4.75MM in March. 90 days to sell a house like that is a pretty good effort. The developer may have come out more or less even on the transaction too. Lets assume that the...

    well, they've dropped the price another quarter mil. $3.05 million. So what will it actually transact at? I bet it goes back to the bank, it'll get wiped off of the MLS and be re-listed in a month's time. It will sell at $2.3 ($400/sf) to a willing buyer, and it will bottom at $300/sf at...

    Check out this listing. $3.3MM and $500k below 2006 transaction price. This has no landscaping, so add $200k for that, but i'm sure its not making its neighbors at 25 ridgeview ($4.25MM and a former IHB profilee) and on Grandview happy <a...

    Nellie Gail Ranch???

    I used to live here (my parents still do) and I do think it is one of the nicer places in South County to live. I would put it between Covenant Hills and Coto in terms of prestige, and given the crashing values in Ladera, will likely stay there. Houses are a mix of custom and 3 phases of tract...

    Shady Canyon

    There are a few established somewhat inland higher end OC communities that could provide a reference point for where shady canyon prices could head. So we'll include communities with large premium homes (3k sf- 10k+) with large lots and no ocean view. Off the top of my mind, there are three...
