Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

nice house with corner lot, driveway, nice community etc. doesn't seem too crazy for me nowadays.
Not as crazy as the $3M+ ones in Easthood, but the staging is awful!

Contrary to what some of the other TI members post from time to time about Irvine prices going down, they have only gone up so far and I don't see the prices going down anytime soon as long as the Chinese cash keeps coming in.

Yeah the staging is lulz
 
According to his monkey line graphs, Eastwood residents are losing money, not making money. Those residents could have bought Nvida stock instead of buying an Eastwood home and 10x’d so they are losing money.

/S
🤣🤣🤣
This is one of your more intelligent comments. Irvine is not generating any real returns and everybody is going gaga over these prices. Factor in the very real costs of ownership, and the returns are negative.

Even @CalBears96 has admitted many times that April 2022 was the peak for Irvine, and it's a mathematical fact that a simple S&P 500 ETF has returned 25% since then.

I believe @bones prefers renting over buying and this illustrates perfectly why. Somebody could pay $3 million cash for Eastwood and make nothing or invest $3 million in stocks, make $750k in profit and pay maybe $150k in rent over 21 months, netting $600k for their trouble.

Thanks Captain Obvious for telling us that $3M in Eastwood is overpriced 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
My guess is less than $180k net net. Pretty thin margin of error, even though it looks like no more than $30-35k was spent on the "recent upgrades..."

I don't know if I ever said those exact words but I may have. Have written a lot of nonsense on this board over the years. I know it's blasphemy but I always treat my primary residence as an investment. I've entered and exited Irvine housing a bunch of times over the years. I currently own. Didn't buy the *perfect* house in the *perfect* neighborhood. But you don't need to... it's Irvine. Just look at CalBears.
 
bones owns now? I can't keep track... need Motor Court's spreadsheet.

You just popped a vein in LL's forehead.

Seems like quite a few people feel this way... that's why pricing is stupid... even to me.

I think I re-entered at the last low. Got in sub 5. I hate to disappoint LL though! But don’t worry, this isn’t a forever home and I’m not going to wax poetic about a stucco box. Next time you ask me, I’ll prob be a renter again 😁
