    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    I don't recollect seeing cambria quartz. You can ask the sales person or you may have been provided the name of the design center consultant by now. With supply chain issues, some desired upgrade options( like flooring or countertop material) may not be available if really love it. For...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    We just completed all stages for the upgrades @Fresco Plan 1. Happy to answer any questions. For countertop upgrades - IP has prices for different levels of Quartz. We went with Bianco Levanto from AZ Tile. The appearance was grand for this quartz that was priced surprisingly low at Level 3. We...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I am currently renting the exact model on the same street. The balcony on this overlooks Irvine Blvd, so expect a lot of noise. Model match (overlooking Irvine Blvd)  sold for about 850K recently, so quite possible this one will sell at list price given the demand. This is the Avalon condo built...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    That is quite surprising to be able to get a corner lot! I guess the prices have gotten so high that it may be scaring some people from jumping in to buy.

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Congrats! When I visited Sales last week they were telling me that the list has gotten so long that they may have to stop taking in new folks.  If you are well qualified and express genuine interest, you may get called much earlier than you think.

    Serrano Summit | Lake Forest

    Sorry, I missed noting it's not Irvine. But I think similar crowd of buyers is now moving towards Lake Forest new builds.

    Serrano Summit | Lake Forest

    Buyers shopping in Irvine seem to have deep pockets..much deeper than what folks on TI can think of. Before TI members thought it was foreign money that allowed buyers to keep paying the high prices...now it appears it's US buyers with deep pockets. May be people are making tons of money in...

    New communities in Portola Springs

    build out. Back in 2016 when Piedmonts came out in EW, this was my exact observation about the front of the home. You don't get to see the full extend of the house and the front windows. The builder optimized available land through the narrow lots and streets. The good thing about Highlands over...

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Except for the fact that you cannot park in street front of your home, the are nice SFRs. These will be on narrow lots and so go deeper. Piedmont in EW, Como in OH look great after buildout.

    New Community Developments

    And SCE sub station! But, all these may not deter buyers. Look at GP...despite all the concerns with the former marine base, it is now densely built and occupied. Took a stroll at cadence Park last evening and was amazed at the narrow tri level homes on either side of the street- very different...

    New Community Developments

    This might soon become the hot location for new homes.The avg 6500sqt lot size will be an attractor, plus the gated entrance. Starting price 3M??

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    But still...2M or 1000$/sqt for a 3 BDR detached condo?  I can understand the proximity to The Spectrum...not so sure about being zoned to Uni High being such big thing. All almost 2M for a detached condo with no driveway seems like lot. But then buyers from Northern CA have deep pockets and...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I thought people didn't like tri-story homes, but this market is different and so may sell soon! The house looks nice from the outside and modern inside. I am just wondering if the increase in rates lately will have any impact on this Irvine RE market.

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    Fresco plan 1/Ix upstairs is very cramped. If you want a bit more space pay another 100K for plan2 :)

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    I almost bought and backed out of CalPacific's Trellis Court detached condo at CV East. I can say that the design center experience  at CalPac was subpar compared to IP. They didn't have much choices compared to Petamuma of IP back then. But Trellis  court sold very well new and also for resale...

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    CalPacific does a great use of space. Sierra Plan 2 at 2358 sqt offers a suite for each bedroom upstairs plus a loft! In comparison, Fresco plan 1x from IP at 2389 sqt doesn't give any loft, shared bathroom upstairs for secondary bedrooms. Sierra plan 2 and above makes sense to buy. Plan 1...

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    If you can buy a true SFR like a Sierra even if a bit smaller in size, go for it over Bluffs/Highland. True SFRs will become scarce soon in Irvine. I have seen true SFR have much better  price appreciation and once they become rarer, more the price. I am not an RE expert, but just sharing...
