thank you so much, that's great, a lot of his points are pretty insightful.
I think he's really spot on with the two car garage. I'm in a smaller, less grand Toll Brothers neighborhood in Baker Ranch (average 2500 sq ft, mine is ~2900), and street parking isn't all that plentiful there even...
Ok Estrella has a really cool floorplan, I love it. But those are what, 7 million now? Evergreen/Sequoias are ~3m. I can dream about the latter one day, the former is just never going to happen unless I quit corporate life and Sam Altman buys my startup.
My current house a Toll Bros 4...
I do agree two islands are better, but the one giant one is nice enough. I agree about the separate bathroom/closet idea. Finally, 2 car garage for 6 million??
I don't even remember, 6 million is just for a decent lot, it's probably what, another million or more to get it looking remotely...
Pretty nice floor plans, nicely appointed, cool views, but holy shit did they seem overpriced. I enjoyed walking through the models but it's crazy that these are in the same price point as Hidden Canyon which has a much less cramped feeling and larger lots.
The big showpiece staircases in the...
What do you all think of Ja Jiaozi? I liked it the two or three times I went when I lived near the marketplace.
I'm also looking forward to DTF at the Spectrum!
Right, I was up quite a bit. My point was it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things that my house 'lost' some value ~2010. Who cares. I got a place I liked, I needed a place to live, and I sold it and carried ~400k into my next home purchase.
The condo I bought in 2009 sold for 620k...
Ok, I bought in 2009, 'lost' some money, but then sold in 2020, when I bought my house in Foothill Ranch. At the "peak" I'd say my house was worth 2.4, but now it's probably around 2 flat. We'll see, I predict more price slides for a little while.
if you have to sell when the market is down, who cares, your other house will be cheaper as well. If things get really bad, just hand over the keys, rent for a while, then buy the dip.
Anyway, now I want to know if you're someone who actually bought at a good time, and you just don't want...
