SoCal -- I think I am soliciting thoughts as to the general quality of this property (location, size, features) such that it will retain its value as much as possible over time, and whether, coming into the purchase as a long-term homeowner in light of the current economy and future risk of...

The statues will definitely go if we buy the house. The price per square foot at $254 is already pretty reasonable. We wouldn't pay more than $750k for the place, which drops it further. I can see prices dropping another 20%, but 30% seems a bit high. Also, how does one factor...

We do plan on staying in the house for 5-7 years, which I think helps make it not a complete knife catcher move in this economy. I looked at the comps on redfin, which are in the $720-$850k range. The house definitely needs updating; it has the 1970s oak everywhere and no granite or natural...

I'd appreciate any opinions you have on this Yorba Linda house. I have saved for the last five years to buy a house, and all of my cash is sitting in a savings account making 1.5% interest. I expect there to be significant inflation in the future and plan to be a long-time home owner, so I...

Indeed, at least all that junk covers up the neon green paint!

For a little over half a million, you can purchase a house with a tree growing out of it! http://www.redfin.com/CA/Anaheim/5428-E-Willowick-Cir-92807/home/4328955 For future reference, how do I make the above url a link that people can click on?

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how the condo at 425 W. Beech St., Unit 231, San Diego, CA 92101 was purchased (in particular, the down payment amount). Thank you!

A "FUN FUN FUN" "joint" for $3.5M. The realtor promises that he can "show you a good time in one of the 4 bedrooms that are so fine." Creepy. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Corona-Del-Mar/234-Poppy-Ave-92625/home/3256682

Wow! Thanks so much for posting this! I've been on the hunt for a good wedding venue, and was looking at the St. Regis.

Hi folks, Can someone please direct me to a site where I can find out how the 2007 buyers financed the following home? 2086 S Oak Knoll Ave San Marino CA 91108

We are looking for a house with at least 3 bedrooms, 2 baths on a view lot in a nice neighborhood. Lot size is important to us -- we want to have at least 8k sq. feet. It will probably be 5 years or so before we need to start worrying about schools, but I still want to be in a great school...

I've heard that East Yorba Linda is generally considered the "more desirable" area. Is that true? Why? What exactly constitutes "east" Yorba Linda? Is it the 92887 zip code? Bryant Ranch school district?

Hi folks, I am new to this forum. I searched the threads for a Yorba Linda discussion thread, but did not come across anything detailed, like what you see with Newport Coast, Newport Beach, etc. Is anyone else interested in following Yorba Linda houses/pricing trends? I recently got...
