Thank you for the help. I am trying to figure out how much 8 Charity is getting sold for... that my help me lower 41 Ascension... or it might not since another concordia west supply is now eliminated.

How do you folks know that you are really in a multiple bidder situation when you were trying to buy a reo? Did they actually closed above the asking price when you track the reo properties that you bid in the past?

What is the typical cost to refinance anyways with another lender? is it a % of the loan? assuming I will be refinancing it to another zero point upfront loan?

41 is much better than 2 ascension. The online pictures of 41 ascension doesn't do it much justice. Of course, I am not telling the seller's agent that! I do not want any competition. 2 ascension has literally close to zippo upgrades and is close to the gate. I am confused on what I...

Sorry. haven't officially offered on a place yet. But I am thinking 41 Ascension. I am also thinking of Serra at Portola Sprints. I like Ascension since it is in Turtle Rock and no mello roos, plus gated. For Serra, you get more bang for the $$ which is what I do not get... so I am confused on...

congrats to you. that looks like a good rate - My lender quoted me a jumbo 30-yr fixed at 7.5% no points..

I am no expert but going with Buffet is rarely wrong. Do you think inflation rate is moving up? If yes, don't you want to own real assets, like real estate?

I totally agree that I need to ignore asking price - which is why I am trying to figure out a fair price. I gave you a history of the asking prices to let you know what has been happening - maybe the seller is getting nervous? Using your $325 - $350 number that would imply the house should...

I guess you are getting a conforming loan right? $417k or lower? 6% or lower - zero points? That looks like a pretty good rate... much better than what is shown on the website that IPOplaya likes to link to. Looks like you got a good rate?

catchme, Can you tell me what type of mortgage rate are you getting or being offered by the builder?

I just do not understand gold. I know that people look at it as an inflation/dollar weakness hedge but who is to say that an ounce of gold should be worth $1k? As for a house, you can at least say you can rent it out for a certain amount a month. I know the price/rent is out of whack...

Also, I am also curious about how far do you guys think this place could fall to in the next few years. I just want to see how much $$ that I might be leaving on the table... versus getting a place that we really like.

IPO, My agent told me the size of 32 Trinity is 2650 sq ft or 441/sq ft on 12/31/07 sold for $1.17 million. 7000 lot size. Does that help? My wife and I like the area quite a bit. I know we could be early..... For background, 41 Ascension originally asked at $1.495mm now it...

IPO, Do you know what happened to 8 Charity?
