Interesting listing. Well prepared as always😂😀 Looks like it first sold in 2016 - was that from the builder or was that the first resale and this would be the second? $13K in property taxes!! Gotta love it. PS which day is the most popular for open houses? Saturday or Sunday? Want to stop buy...

For appreciation - not even close: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-city-saw-the-biggest-home-price-growth-in-2017-and-its-not-on-the-west-coast-2018-02-28?siteid=bigcharts&dist=bigcharts In a bubble - not even close...

Hmm...4 months without a post. Guess the TI folks haven't bought into OH3. Anyhow stopped buy to see how things are going. Sold 23 out of 30 - not too bad. Notice how all the homes with decent lot sizes are gone.  Just had a phase release yesterday Lots 21-27 - all gone. Next phase should...

When we sold our Stonegate home we interviewed quite a few agents including MM - that's his home turf. "Weasel" is being very polite! We went with someone else and MM actually brought over a potential buyer. Of course our agents knew of MM's "professional" reputation and said "approach with...

Love the pictures downstairs - well staged or the owners are meticalist clean. Upstairs looks a bit more "lived in" but I have heard that if the clients don't love the first floor, they tend not to bother with the upstairs because they already decided it was a no go. Something like 75-80% of the...

Stopped buy and checked it out this weekend. Not a big fan of Castillo but some of the Palencia floor plans are interesting. They have started construction on their condo project called Aldea - interesting that these are two stories but if you have a second level flat there is an elevator from...

Here are the latest price sheets and site availability for Como and Vivo. Vivo has sold 15 out of 25 lots - not really selling as well as previous iterations of this project. Como has sold 16 out of 22 lots - looks like their view premium is about $175K!

My post was a commentary on the hypocrisy found in both parties who must share some credit or blame (depending on your viewpoint) for the state of politics in our country. I never mentioned god, sexual predators, that some mysterious middle America value system was mine, or that I was happy...

Get a kick out of all the democrats whining on the news shows this weekend about the tax plan. Wasn't it just 8 years ago that they passed the ACA to make their president look good in his first year, without any republican support or input because they were obstructionists, that was so...

You'll probably have 3-4 offers before the open house. Maybe I'll stop by to see how many - I would wish you good luck but your success is not dictated by luck. What kind of treats? 85 degree pastries, boba, poke, steak & lobster. Think you have better success that IP so you can afford to step...

Did a quick comparison on my 2018 projected taxes based on the current tax code and Trump's "new and improved" tax plan and see that I'll be paying about $2K more to the Donald! Where do I sign that "Impeach Trump" petition? Lots of sites to calculate your new tax liability - I...

This "insightful" observation coming from the person who has made it their mission to present (I'll quote myself on this) "an over the top love/preacher salesmanship of this community with any inability to see the negatives." I did ask "Why not just fess up your real motivations?" which you...

Like almost everyone who bought a new home in Irvine the past 5 years my property tax exceeds $10K. Heck many in the Great Park pay that much in CFD! So I was pondering paying my second 2017-2018 tax installment this year. I know I can deduct it this year but may not next year. Smart tax...

After visiting OH3 and seeing a 3 Bedroom detached condo list for $1 million this is an absolute steal! A true single family home with a driveway and about a block away from Sand Canyon (practically part of Stonegate). I'm sure the impending bidding war will fetch at least 7 digits. Not sure...

This is what the sales persons told me. Vivo - 5/7 are spoken for and they have buyers lined up for the other two so an expected sell-out. April move-in. They have 149 lots, only 22 classified as view lots. Verdi - 2/8 sold, December/January move-in. Looks like they have 96 homes - none with a...

Here's the latest Price information from Petaluma so you calculate the price premium for OH3. Phase 36 all sold out  Looks like they have 4-5 phases left with 26 lots.

Very astute observations. Visited 4 communities and was particularly unimpressed with the lack of differences between Vivo and San Mateo which I used to own 6 years ago! IP just doesn?t do luxurious. After buildout it will feel crowded and monotonous as all community designs are derivatives of...

Was at today?s grand opening and Altair?s which had a larger turnout, the same chauffeur buses, better food (and more of it), more luxurious designs and view lots. The only OMG is your over the top love/preacher salesmanship of this community and your inability to see the negatives. Why not...

Starting a new thread for the "one that will sell the best" - the Petaluma successor at OH 3. My price predictions from 8/2/17 were: Vivo - smallest homes Plan 1 1,811 SF  $989,000 Plan 2 2,010 SF  $1,049,000 Plan 3 2,077 SF  $1,089,000 Predicted price actually pretty close.
