    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    They offer design studio credits?  I have heard of lots that they have trouble selling offering credits as incentive.  But rarely the first phases offer credits. Plan 2 is nice but it didn?t have an extra office like plan 1 and 3 offered.  Plan 3 is very dark due to the lack of windows in the...

    Small pool

    Let's say your setback from the CA room to the wall is 11'.  Does that give you enough space to put in a small dipping pool and spa?  Has anyone done this?

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    Thanks.  Is the $15k for the conservatory option the same price regardless of which plan?  Each plan has a slightly different sq footage for the conservatory. How much are the open riser stairs? Do you guys think it?s a good option to have over the regular stairs even though it removes the...

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    So you mean they charge higher for upgrades compared to other builders?  What features are you referring to that they do not offer that is usually standard with other builders?  They have the smart home features but I am sure that is added into the base price of the homes.

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    They will sell all the view lots in the beginning phases, then sell toward the back.  If they raise prices every subsequent phase, wouldn't the homes on Coldwater with no view cost almost as much as the first phases with views?

    Capital gains tax of $250k

    Let's say you buy a home for $1m and then you sell for $1,350,000  The capital gains tax is $1,000,000 - $1,350,000 = $350k.  You are exempt as single person up to $250,000 of capital gains.  So how can you avoid paying taxes on the $100,000?  If you did remodeling or landscaping worth, can you...

    Area between Furrow St. and Bella Vista in OH

    Checked out Palermo.  Plan 1 seems surprisingly open, even with only 2700 sq ft, they were able to sneak 5 bedroom option with high ceilings.  However, the kitchen is pretty tiny.

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    I went to check out the view lots.  The highest elevation is near the street Leafy Pass.  But from the top, the view was not that great.  I think once Palermo and the iPac homes are done, you will just see rooftops.  The viewline seems a bit far out and not that great.  $2.3-2.4 for view lots...

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    The last of the view lots at the Groves.  But I heard these prices will be close to what Trevi view lots started at.  Smaller too.

    refinish cabinets

    Rather than replace kitchen and bathroom cabinets to a different color, has anyone refinished or repainted them?  Was wondering how cost efficient that is and if they have to remove to paint interior?

    Tesla Model Y

    The Y with 7 seats looks extremely crammed.  Been trying to find a decently priced used X.  New ones are too expensive.  But I feel like everyone in Irvine has a X.

    coronavirus

    It was randomly during the daytime.  Don't know what the citation stated.  Just say you are going to the grocery store if you happened to get pulled over.

    Google Fiber coming to Irvine

    Nevermind I cancelled the appointment as ATT failed to tell me that there is an extra $10/month for hardware.  Original rep lied about not having additional costs.  Also failed to mention that the price increases to $70 after the first year.  Don't like surprises so not going to try ATT.

    Google Fiber coming to Irvine

    How much are you paying?  The fine print is that the $39.99/month price jumps to $59.99/month after the promotional 12 month period.  I believe they also start charging $10/month for hardware so it essentially becomes the same price as google fiber after the first year.

    Google Fiber coming to Irvine

    Paying $55/month for Google fiber with 500 mbps download.  No contract (month to month) and they provide hardware.  ATT fiber said they offer $40/month for 1000 mbps download (twice as fast as Google).  Also no contract (month to month) and they provide hardware.  Anyone tried ATT fiber can...
