Fascinating and inspiring journey. You?ve accomplished something a vast majority of people can only dream about. I too desire a unicorn but even if I found it, I would need to win the lottery to pay for it - my unicorn requires a miracle. I?m sure you?ll enjoy your home and never regret the $$...

Unlike tips, the customer must pay service charges if they were made aware of the service charge prior to services being performed. Did the restaurant put a note anywhere in tiny print on the menu, or on a wall/front door, or mention it etc? If you don't pay the service charge and the restaurant...

I was at the grand opening of this track. People (won?t mention ethnicity) we?re having organisms because not only could they see Northwood HS they thought they could just walk down the hill. The latter turned out not to be the case. Anyhow this tract sold like hotcakes and was the first track...

Another great piece of advise from the sage Martin. Right before the craziness exploded my kid/spouse were looking to buy a starter home. They were actually looking for a home to live in and raise a family. We visited a lot of homes and almost all were pieces of shit and/or had structural...

For my last two homes I had a water softener, whole house conditioner, and a R.O. Faucet in the kitchen (the wife wants her water extra clean) installed by So Cal Water. They use Fleck systems and were market pricing. I?m satisfied and would use them in my next home if I could afford to buy...

I?m not an expert but today oil prices gave up most of their big overnight gains and briefly dipped into negative territory. Prices rose on the possibility of a ban of Russian oil but fell when Germany stated it is reluctant to do so. So was today a blowout event? Where do the TI experts think...

Looks like the going rate for an older (although not that old) 4bd detached condo around 1,800 sf is also in the $1.2m range. I'm guessing this will also sell for higher - will be an interesting comparison with your property. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/83-Modesto-92602/unit-93/home/5919233...

We looked at a similar type home in a nearby location 4-5 months ago - listed at $990K (to come up for under $1 million searches) and it sold for $1.2M. Yours has a better floor plan with better finishes and better landscaping. You have a superior listing which means a $1.4 million all cash...

About a month and a half ago (and 30 pages of posts) I last visited these waters - seems like nothing has changed, but that was to be expected. I'm looking forward to the 2027 Nova Special called "The Pandemic 2020-2023". They'll do their usually great job at looking how the pandemic...

This thread is 364 pages (and counting) and contains many examples of misunderstandings, vitriol postings, name calling, and suspect sources - all of which decreases the posters street cred, but unfortunately reflects poorly on how the US is devolving. No post has changed any minds as many are...

My prediction of $3.2M was my best guess. That?s what I would have offered - IF I had the money :(  But I wouldn?t be confident my bid would be the winner.

Told you I thought it was AFFORDABLE! My predicted final price is $3.2M. Only question is will it close this year? I know you can?t give pricing until closing so I?ll just have to wait and see. Are you serving caviar, filet mignon and Dom Perignon at the open house? I?ll show up for that!

Probably no one died and injuries are likely a sore arm for a few hours, but "facts" are in the mind of the beholder. "In the U.S., rough?ly 10,000 peo?ple a day die," Po?land said. "By chance alone, thou?sands of those are going to die with?in X num?ber of hours or days of get?ting a COVID...

My daughter (who was actually pregnant) was looking to buy a house and TWICE planned on visiting a ?Coming Soon? only to have the property go into escrow a day after the announcement so they never got a shot. Her agent said they probably already had a buyer lined up before their announcement. I...

One word comes to mind - WOW! Fricking gorgeous and to my untrained brain it appears to be affordable in this market. I?m guessing the new owner will be paying over $4K in property taxes - per month! What?s the highest price paid for a Great Park home?

This former model home might actually be the one. This one just sold for $1.9M or $115K over listhttps://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/127-Iron-Horse-92602/home/108244569 These are currently in escrow:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/53-Horseshoe-92602/home/112718849- this one has a "bargain" list...

Hmm...almost $650 a square foot (think their square footage number is higher than actual) with almost no rear setback. Originally thought this might be a WTF price because it was too high, but now I'm thinking it's a WTF price because it's a steal...

My current KBB value is over 30% higher than the buyout. The Carmax offer to buy is over 25% higher than the buyout. When I get closer I?ll have to crunch the numbers and include the extra costs to purchase. Of course the dealer may let me trade it in for a new car lease which is a different set...

I'm still a little way off, but given the Covid-19 used car premium and exceedingly low mileage, I'm pretty sure my 2019 leased car will be worth much more than its residual value. So buying the car instead of simply returning it would probably make sense. And if I did turn it in, there's the...

I don't mind that Hawaii requires a specific type of Covid-19 test - I'm a big fan of having everyone on my plane be tested, but to restrict who can provide the test is too much. The City of Irvine has a free one day turnaround test that is NAAT compliant but because they chose not to apply to...
