So I know a few homeowners have this problem right now (these are phase 1 cambria stonegate owners).  We all prepaid a portion of property tax during our escrow - but IRvine Pacific isnt paying this amount to the OC Tax Assessor until April 10.  Our property tax bills are due March 31.  I am...

I got new hardwood installed after tearing out what was formerly tile - but in the corner where the staircase meets the new hardwood - i always get these gross dead dried up worms.  I think they must have squeezed through the hardwood floor... but then I ask where are they living if theres...

its first come first serve, so if you see a 949 phone#, pick it up and make an appointment. you can always stall and back out when you are there. 

i was #100 or so back in november on san mateo, so i really didnt think i had a shot actually.  but IP really timed the release of these two well, so ill give them that. you do have to make a trade-off, they make it difficult for you to have a choice between both at the same time.  i hear this...

nope (i have been following this thread for some time)  and cambria since it was announced. simple diligence and asking a lot of questions. I knew the loan officer since I was already on the list for San Mateo + Santa Maria so I knew the minute the loan application would open up. FYI the loan...

I'm in the first six. But the 2nd six are being built to close at the same time. I am not sure why they are waiting to release them. Probably to build up pent up interest since I know they like to do that. Surprised to see they increased it 5k also 1% increase on basically nothing.

i dont think it includes earthquake insurance, anyway i am contracted at Cambria, it is not in an earthquake zone.. but it is in a special flood zone (due to the reservoir.  i dont think that insurance is required though.. we'll see

I just got pricing from final phase of San Mateo Plan 1 - 607k Plan 2 - 613k Plan 3 - 643k They said some of the lots have a $7500 premium due to the lots being larger. Compared to cambria Plan 1 - 517k Plan 2 - 543k Plan 3 - 574k So it's a bit more than $50k diff. I was told cambria hoa...

the next 6 will be available very soon, the first 12 are being built and closed at the same time.  there is a long 'interest' list however ("700" they said which probably includes email interest). you should get preapproved asap if you are truly interested to get on the priority list. the...

Thanks for that I was just wondering what that hoa might equal in housing equity.. Pretty high. Cambria 3 starts at high 500s and they don't have pricing yet. It might be the same as San Mateo 1 actually. I checked the floor plan and for the walls of plan 1/2 the only attached part is the...

you're right i meant plan 2/3. but yea i heard they have one more phase planned out but im not really sure where i am on the interest list. plan 2/3 prices are also getting kind of jacked sky high too, but cambria is also pretty high

I am prequalified for San Mateo, Santa Maria, and now Cambria so I am going to check out the models on appointment Tuesday. The $110 was a mistake, I saw it when they first came out, and the website now reads $110 for buildout, $176 for neighborhood. I was disappointed when I saw this. As the...
