    Great Park & El Toro Base / Areas of Concern

    If you have this level of concern then you will never be satisfied or happy with any answer we can give you about the GP area. I would pick another area to buy a home.

    All my doctor friends have suggested Moderna was the best option for booster...I got my 3rd shot last week. My body is now capable of emitting 6G cell frequencies. I'm a superior human being.

    Lakers News

    ::) Over-reaction from 1 game? Vogel is a proven coach. He's testing out lineups and figuring out chemistry. The Warriors team had over a full season together already. This Lakers team has played 7 games together and 0 times with this lineup.

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    When I last checked a few weeks ago, you could directly reserve an OH lot right now but there's a waitlist for EW. I don't know if that changed since then.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I see the actual sale price as $917,000 from the builder. What happens sometimes with condos (especially new construction) is that all the sales data gets mixed up for nearby homes.

    Laminate Flooring Installation Cost?

    I-Bonds...a great place for idle cash

    Treasury Direct is super clunky for sure. You're required to put in your password with your mouse and a virtual keyboard. Really annoying.

    I-Bonds...a great place for idle cash

    I Bonds going to be 7%+ coming this November. If you haven't purchased your $10k this year I suggest waiting until November to purchase and then purchase another $10k in January. You can purchase $10k per spouse and also another $10k in a trust account.

    SCE TOU Plan or keep non TOU

    Prime typically only makes sense if you're a high energy user that can shift usage outside of 4-9PM hours. Your usage needs to be high enough to offset the higher daily usage cost so of course charging EVs. I think there will be fringe cases of Prime making sense for non-EV drivers but probably...

    SCE TOU Plan or keep non TOU

    I had to break down my solar generation by season by hour for 2 years. Took my 2 year usage data as well. Overlayed that by the different plan types and saw that Prime was the clear winner for me even with higher daily fee.

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    If I recall correctly, the Plus plan does not mean suite downstairs. It just means the downstairs room will have slightly more square footage than the non-plus.

    Observations from the front lines of the Irvine housing market?

    Nah those charts are fake news. I prefer to go with random OC blogger post about the market crashing.

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    Like I mentioned before though, a HELOC can cause issues for future refinances unless it is closed or subordinated. I have had clients who did a large cash out refi and then in 6 months refinanced the loan again to a lower non-cash out rate. Of course we were in a market that had rates...

    SCE TOU Plan or keep non TOU

    I really depends on your usage and if you have solar or not. For me Prime made a lot of sense because we have 2 electric cars with high mileage so our off-peak usage and charging is high.

    Offer should be written with specific language that it is subject to interior inspection and that EMD won't go in until inspection.
