I threatened my builder to tell the mortgage lender something that would disqualify us from getting a mortgage to back out of a purchase. The builder quickly acquiesced and I didn't need to back out.

I never sold unfortunately, but took a good chunk of cash laying around and bought SPY this morning.

I've never smelled the landfill. Talise is by the 241. I've toured both Legado and Talise. It's a hard choice. I wouldn't worry about appreciation and would choose a floor plan and lot you think you'll be happy with for 7+ years. It's worth the lot premium for views or larger side yard if...

That's not how a median works. For example: 2006 sales: Home A $3.5m Home B $900k Home C $750k Home D $500k Home E $300k Median = $750k 2011 sales: Home A: no sale Home B: $800k Home C: $720k Home D: $480k Home E: $330k Home F: $300k 2011 Median: $480k OMG!! The Median price fell 36% that...

Everyone that walked and talked told me to buy in 2006. I told them they were crazy - rent was less than half the cost of buying. I kept checking the math and what do you know, renting was a lot more expensive than buying in 2012 (once interest rates came down) so I bought. Right now it's...

Let me guess, in Nov 2019 they'll release a new report that says: 2019 expected appreciation 3.6% 2020 expected appreciation 1.5% 2021 expected appreciation -.01% 2022 expected appreciation -3.5% Eventually they'll get it right and they'll pull out the one report that was right and call...

Here's proposition results:https://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/ballot-measures Voted No on 10 - I'm very much anti rent control. The best way to reduce rents is to increase housing supply - especially close to jobs. Voted No on 6 - even though I hate the increased taxes and fees ($100/yr + double...

Target will have $300 GC with activation on any iPhone xr, xs for Black Friday.

I met Drew Leavens at an Irvine Chamber of Commerce event in 2014 so I could have named him. I remember that year he raised about $30,000 and Mimi raised about $2,000,000. I will not ever vote for Mimi again due to her voting for the new tax law that will hurt local homeowners (her constituents).

Anecdotally, I have run into several move-up buyers lately. Here's some of their reasons for buying now: - They want to buy brand new into a certain community before it is built out. They were able to get the lot them wanted. - They wanted to be settled with walking distance to an elementary...
