We will be moving to Bellevue in the next 4-6 months. I still doubt Bellevue schools would be any close to IUSD when it comes to quality of education although bellevue schools are rated 8/9 today. There is some Homelessness issues in Bellevue, though and some auto theft/break-ins. Irvine so far...

Not OC or Irvine, but another place where I saw a huge Asian (Chinese and Korean only) population is parts of Bellevue in WA state. Due to work requiring me to relocate to Seattle area, I have been exploring Bellevue and noticed a very large Asian population there, especially the Eastgate...

Hi, I am looking for references for a good CPA for tax purposes. Appreciate sharing info! Thanks

600K might be common in the tech hubs(Bay area, Seattle), but here in Irvine I think only the Sr.managers or Sr. ICs in big tech could be making that sum. And high paying big tech jobs are comparatively lower in Irvine/ socal in general. That's what always makes me wonder how folks in Irvine...

Quite a few bike accidents lately make biking unsafe. Not a very short distance for walking.

The newer neighborhoods of Irvine do not have school bus. So parents have to take time away during office hours for pickup. Car pooling is an option but I am really looking for a school bus option or a private service that can do pickups and drops off. Has anyone else felt the lack of school...

Market is back on fire I guess. This Eastwood home listed today and pending the same day https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/67-Runner-92620/home/169482670 A similar plan closed in Aug for 1.83M and this new one is pending within a day at 1.95M. The one from Aug below..it fetched the seller 500K...

I suspect investors from China are propping up the RE market in US and worldwide now that covid restrictions are gone - a lot of properties in and near EW now going pending within 1-2 weeks. Could this be the reason as this article says ...

That one looks like a steal at that low price.

My comparison was with an Eastwood home like this https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/113-Mangrove-Banks-92620/home/112724489 that sold at $2.14M. This one is a squasi SFR and similar lot size to the IP new construction. The IP one may get some incentives to the buyer considering it's been on the...

To cover realtor fees and closing costs possibly?

May be buyer remorse or found out just can't afford the house?

I still wonder why this new construction IP unit which is a proper SFR is not moving after so many months on MLS...it's not on a T intersection as far as I can tell from the Google maps. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/103-Wheat-92602/unit-146/home/180242121

Above sale bodes well for Eastwood! IP has also restarted construction of Fresco - the last remaining lots in EW.
