You can see a lot with many Chinese agents. Guess they can't afford to pay $500-800 for photography plus drone pictures. It'll cost the seller multiples on the sales price. I would be pissed if I were a seller to see those kind of pictures of my listing.

I figured it wouldn't take long to reopen as the market has been slowing down.

The premium for view lots has dropped a good bit now and not all view lots are created equally. Larger view lots with city light views will trade at a higher premium versus smaller lots with hillside views.

Attached condos in Irvine will have 2 HOAs, one for the master Village HOA and the other is for the condo HOA. The condo HOA covers the fire insurance for the home which is the largest part of the cost. These HOAs have not been great at shopping around for fire insurance coverage hence why we...

Resales for most Great Park homes are sub $900/sf so yes they are still overpriced.

Fairly low given that the market for resale homes is typically 2%.

Yup, I'd bet good money that area will see more apartments.

It's all about price and presentation. I somehow sold an RSM listing for higher this month than I did one down the street in October. Yeah the market is normalizing (aka a neutral market) so the homes that are overpriced will sit.

Yes, it as an all cash purchase via a pocket listing.

It was purchased for $4,359,000 on 7/24/24 with a $2,500,000 loan. Looks like a hefty loss plus the cost of the carry as the home has been vacant.

The broker co-op for Crestview is $40k.

Got word from escrow that we closed earlier this afternoon. The final sales price was $1,450,000 or $50,000 above the list price. Congrats to both the buyer and seller.

As mentioned above, the HOA does cover fire insurance for attached condos. Most all HOAs do not cover "walls-in" interior coverage but you'll want to get a copy of the master insurance policy to make sure.

Yeah my home is now is a high danger zone in Turtle Rock as is my Tustin Ranch home. I have insurance renewals coming up in June and July for both so I'm bracing for the worst. :(
