Thanks Eva, It does seem like i do need to brushen up on search skills on Google. From the info on your link it shows the following about the Portisol tract in Woodbury 1708 sq/ft homes $740,500 2123 sq/ft homes $955,000 Date shows of Nov 13, 2004 Can someone confirm that...

Eva, no luck. I have already tried this search before writing this post.

Sorry for posting a similar post for Portisol, however i am also interested in finding out more information on the Rosemoor tract in Woodbury which my agent seems to hold back on this information. I know that these homes are similar in size with the Villa Rosa Tract. I am interested in finding...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone in this blog knows any background information on the Portisol Tract in Woodbury? I would like to find out what "Month/Year" first phase broke ground and what the first phase prices were for the 1700 square feet homes and 2300 square feet homes. How...

irvineowner, I just asked my agent if she would give me 2 - 2.5% for my closing costs if i buy new construction and she was offended, actually i think she even got mad. Do you know of any agents who are more open to this? Also, if it possible to negotiate with the builders? Did you try...

awgee Which other commodities do you think will perform better than gold? Do you like oil? Do you think we are in a long term bull market in commodities? Want to hear your thoughts.

Has anyone tried to negotiate with the builders on plan 2? What is the best deal anyone has been able to negotiate down to? I would love to buy one these homes? $804,900 is bit of a stretch, but i can comfortably afford in the mid $600's. Any idea if prices may fall to those level? Also...

irvineowner, I am impressed. :) I do respect hard working, self made, successful guys like you. I don't respect the "rich dad in Asia" scenario i told you about :) Thanks for letting me know who you used for your lender for best rates. I wish you the best luck on your decision on Serra...

We also believe that the equity of the house will be enough for our children?s college tuition 18+ years from now. Not to be nosy irvineowner, but can i ask you how old you are? if you are in your early 30s, brother what do you do for a living to be able to purchase a home like Serra at...

Trooper. What do you mean by trollish? I'm a little confused.

lending maestro? Foolish ? why? can you explain?

irvine owner, You are in a great financial position, that most of us are not in. You are also setting a very good example for many us considering to purchase a home that is over a million dollars. Personally, I thinking having a $1 million mortgage is crazy, so you are definitely doing the...

irvine owner, My wife and I have also toured the plan 3 model as it is absolutely gorgeous. We probably can't afford a house like until much later in our lives, when our kids are in junior high or high school. irvine owner, I am curious on how wealthy people like yourself finance these...

Awgee, since you mentioned hard assets ( I am assuming you are talking about gold, silver, copper, and platinum.) I agree with you that you want to own hard assets, not real estate. I've read in Forbes and businessweek that though gold is a commodity that people hoard, silver is a consumable...

I don't know if median home prices would drop down to $350k, but I think low 400's is definitely within reach by 2010, and I don't think $350k ten years is worth $1.3 million dollars now with inflation (Does anybody else have an input this?). Gold cost $850 an ounce in 1980. It is about...
