Thank you! Yes what we are looking for (SFR, 4 BD plus loft, 1st level BD and BA) is nothing really special, many are looking for the same thing but what makes it harder is we are pretty much looking only in Woodbury & Columbus Grove. for a variety of reasons. So not looking at areas like...

On this note, my wife and I are looking for an off market 4 BD plus loft home in Woodbury to buy. We have seen all the active listings and I have reached out to several agents who have helped buyers and sellers in the area in the last few years but if anyone here knows of any leads, we would...

Saw the home in person. They did a great job with the extension in the front. The 1st level bedroom is a decent size. The second level loft size is decent too. Found the entry way/foyer to be a bit narrow but it may be subjective. Now to what I didn’t much like- while the kitchen was upgraded...

Yeah I was wondering why would they do that and if the juice is really worth the squeeze. Because a 4 BD or a 4 BD plus loft homes are not that scarce of a resource. Plus when renovations are this extensive and you are adding value via an additional bedroom and ~700 SF, wont there be a...

Good catch! Yeah if the backyard was not made smaller and if the front of the home was expanded for the additional bedroom and the conversion of half bath to full bath, then it is a nice idea. While I have not seen that done in Woodbury before I’ve seen it done in other communities. Especially...

if an expansion was done in the back of the property, that would have eaten into the backyard space which is a tough pill to swallow when lot size is only 3,700 SF. The pictures are not very clear but the backyard space still looks decent, so not sure if expansion was done in the back but maybe...

If you are familiar with these homes, you must know that Plan 1 is a 3BD/2.5BA 1,700 SF two story home with a 3,700 SF lot. I stumbled upon this Plan 1 home which appears to be rebuilt into a 4 BD/4BA 2,500 SF home. Its a rental. Something seems off though. If there is an actual expansion which...

Long shot- but my wife and I are still looking to buy in Columbus grove (both Irvine and Tustin side) as it is our top choice. Any owners of a 4 BD+ loft home planning to sell soon? we have seen all the active listings. If there is an opportunity for an off market sale, we can work with you...

Was the home underpriced to begin with to draw attention though and get a dozen offers? Don’t know the specifics on this home but it’s a very common strategy in parts of the Bay Area. Many homes are underpriced and they end up selling a few hundred thousand above ask price but the ask price is...

Personally love a neighborhood that’s walkable (retail, restaurants, coffee shops that’s a 10-20 min walk, a lot of young families live in these areas) and has a mix of housing- apartments (yes apartments), condos/townhomes, SFRs. You then get to see young families, kids, a nice mix of people in...

LOL, you really want proof that you are a perma bear and that you said 10 years ago prices were expensive? Is that really not true? Just be true to your conscience and admit it yourself that you said that. You believed prices were expensive ten years ago, now they are $1-1.5MM more, and then...

you say current high price (agreed on rates) environment but given you are a perma bear, are you saying ten years ago we were not in a high price environment? Because isn’t that what you said and there is proof of that on this forum. 10 years ago, if you search these forums- there were comments...

But you posted the data from 2024-2026 for a very specific reason right? I was just curious if data from 2016-2026 would also help make your case? If it helps your case you can gladly post it? And no response to my comment last week in the 2026 happiest cities in America post. Wonder why?

were prices cut by that much even in 08?

Why data from only 2024-2026? Why not 2016-2026?
