Homes in OC are still too expensive, they are not being sold either.... I am just puzzled..... why are homes in Coto so expensive? it is way out there, takes forever to get to the freeway, all very close to each other with stamp size lots.... to me these homes are worth about $500K but they...

What is a nice area in mission viejo?

I get irritated when realtors tell me the bank is not going to take my offer on a short sale if it is too low. Well, then I will just take my business else where..... I am in no hurry to get a house, I would only purchase when the price is right and when I consider I have got myself a bargain...
