Yes, those are the lot sizes.  Those dimensions are the minimum design requirements and some of the lots are actually bigger.  Most of the lot are around mid-5000 s.f. but  there are a few in the 7,000 to 8,000 s.f. range.  Since there are 3 different size of lots, there will be 3 different...

This site is called Orchard Hills Neighborhood 1 - Phase 3.  The Orchard Hills 1, phase 3 was originally planned with 185 very large 4000+ s.f. home but in summer of 2017 it was modified and divided into 236 units at this site.  Lot 1-60 are 60'x90'  5400 s.f. lots Lot 61-189 are 50'x90' ...

All I can find is that there will be 169 lots and KB is pulling permit to build model home in lots 1,2 and 3.

Yeah, back into a parking space is the way to go, all others are just park wrong.  :)

Interesting read indeed, thanks for posting. Can't believe they are allowed  to build an 18-story dormitory out of wood beams, that's just crazy.

Now the tidying up lady got her own show on Netflix and the show seems quite popular. 

This topic came up every once a while and I recall someone actually got it done but I can?t seem to find that particular thread. Here?s two other related threads. https://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,341.msg3330.html#msg3330...

I wouldn't blame the media for reporting the facts but I hate some of the headlines that are just trying to grab attention and give an impression the housing market is totally tanking right now but it is not. Housing market is indeed slowing down, shifting from a hot seller's market towards a...

I did not know. But I'm surprised how small the price differences between these premium lot and others.  The others home site's lot size (#37 & #38) are just a little over 4000 sf according to the city planning office's document.  If the home site 1,2,3's lot size are indeed over 7,000 sf...

There are many larger lots and many are over 6000 sf.  3 of the 5 homes just released (lot 1, 2 and 3) have lot size over 7,000 sf according to the city doc. The biggest lot is the lot 83  with over 10,000 sf. (mark with red cross in the map below).

Agree, and that's why I'm agreeing with IHO that it is not worth the wait to buy in Irvine for a slim possibility of some discount. If one want to wait and find some good deal in the surrounding cities during the slowdown, that's probably a good idea.  But don't expect any significant discount...

You bring up a good point about inflation adjusted prices. Right before the last housing bubble burst, most new builds here in Irvine were asking around $400/s.f.  And now we adjusted for inflation, that's about $500/s.f. in today money.  So the real home price after adjusted for inflation are...

Builder confidence rises: http://nahbnow.com/2018/10/builder-confidence-rises-one-point-in-october-remains-at-summer-levels/ Builder confidence in the market for newly-built single-family homes rose one point to 68 in October on the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). Builder...

I thought jackass was Democrat's mascot. 

Around $1800 for $210k mortgage.  $1800 was not much by today?s standard but that was a big deal for me back in 1994 and I was just started working with a tiny starting salary. 

But the price is still up from a year ago right?  That OCR article leave one important data out for some reason.  It is still possible that with the inventory goes up, sales goes down but the price continue to go up modestly.  With strong economy, relative low interest rate and extremely low...

IIRC, there was a recession and housing market took a hit.  And the mortgage was indeed high.  I bought my first home in '94 and my rate was 9.5%.

We should change the thread title to "How high can we go?" Anyone think it will hit 6% for 30 year fixed?  I think it's possible that it reaches close to 6% but just briefly though.  Once the rate hit that level, the recession probably starts to kick in and the rate starts to reverse it's...
