Well, this one is Highland 2 and it's quite a bit smaller than Cielo. It's not a view lot either. The base price for Highland 2 was around $2.4M. A huge lot is not worth $1.1M, $400k at most. Only a view lot is worth that much. This one tried to list this high because the house at the end of...

Actually, I'm with you on that. I don't want the neighborhood to be full of renters either. I even brought up the idea of charging higher property taxes for out of state buyers who buy these homes as investment properties. In fact, just make it investment properties, period. The $7000 discount...

What about people who want to move here from other states? Can't do that either? Or the ones that graduate from UCI and want to stay here? They're not local either, right?

Sleepy is right on this one. A lot of these FCBs are US citizens. The ones that bought across from my current home, for example, is such a case. They stay in China because their kids are young, but they are US citizens. It's just like that article was saying, they buy the homes and wait for...

It's not, really. Did you not see Azul, Olivewood and Cielo new construction view lots that I posted? You CAN'T get a view lot in PS below $4.2M anymore. The latest Olivewood view lots aren't even city views and they're still $4M+. The one above is actually a city view and it does have quite a...

I'm a little bit surprised, actually, considering 139 Sunnyslope, with a worse view, sold for $4.58M. This one is facing west, so it's got city view. 139 Sunnyslope is facing the mountains, but it does have a bigger lot, with side yard also.

It's not like you can choose what time of the day you drive to/from work.

59 minutes is still "minutes to OC" :ROFLMAO: Seriously, though, the commute from Chino to OC really really sucks. I used to live in Eastvale, so I know. Before they turned the 91 carpool portion into toll road, 71 South in the morning was fine, but after that, that 3 mile stretch takes 15-20...

I like the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom. And a powder room downstairs for guests is great, so 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths make sense.

Azul released a new phase, mostly view lots. It's now confirmed that you can't get a view lot in PS for less than $4M. I can't afford a view lot. :cry:

That neighborhood consists of 3 communities: Lapis, Fiore, and Sierra. Are you sure those homes you were seeing weren't Fiore or Sierra? I believe it might be Fiore, which is close to Lapis.

Apparently, both the victim, 50, and suspect, 46, lived in Aliso Viejo. There's probably beef between them. Suspect must have been stalking victim since a witness said that he's been told that the victim sometimes parks there and takes a break.

It's the site. I've been experiencing the same.

I joined the company back in 2010, but the stock was going sideways for years. It wasn't until 2016 when we got acquired that things started looking up. We got RSU before, it was a yearly grant, which vested over 4 years. What I meant was that in 2019, we got a 4 years worth of RSU, meaning we...

Close of escrow for Cielo is mid July. As for my Bluffs 2 home, I bought it for $1.684M, which was fully upgraded. Don't now how much I can list it at. This one seems like an outlier WTF price. The other two Bluffs 1 homes are still sitting on the market at $2.38M and $2.39M. I can't close...

Not sure what you meant. Are you referring to my Bluffs home that I'm currently living at, or Cielo home that I'll be moving to?

This one is really WFT price. Bluffs 1, listed at $2.68M and sold at $2.72M. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/119-Petunia-92618/home/190224993 There are two Bluffs 1 on the market, listed at $2.38M and $2.39M, and nobody is even sniffing at them. How the hell did that one go for more than...

Yeah, the only reason I was able to buy in Irvine was my RSU, not my salary. My co-workers and I were extremely fortunate that our CEO decided to give us 4 years worth of RSU back in 2019 instead of refreshing every year.

Engineering students from top UCs would rather stay in Silicon Valley than returning to China and they have no problem obtaining H-1B visas. In fact, I would say that rich Chinese parents would want their kids stay in the US rather than returning to China. That's why FCBs are scooping up homes...

Entrepreneurs, sure, but employees? In fact, employees benefit more since theat means fewer competition. Either way, it helps tax payers more than hurts.
