$70K over on a 1.2 home seems reasonable in this market. Surprised it didn't go for more.
Thanks for all the updates! Super interesting to keep tabs on how market is shifting.
Wanted to pop on and thank everyone for their thoughts/expertise. We ended up in escrow on a nice property in Aliso. It's not Irvine.. But it's still OC!
It is a detached property. Good sized yard for this price point in Irvine as well.. We ended up writing a counter that is something along the lines of "Buyer to offer $2,500 over highest offer, not to exceed x" and we brought our x up approx. 10K.. Not sure we will get it.. But again, it's a 3...
