    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    No, Highlands are so called "Quasi SFR". They have a driveway but there is no traditional sidewalk , and you cannot park on the street in front of your house. The street is deliberately kept narrow.

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Lady at Highland....used to be at Piedmont EW before...I don't like how she treats clients, just my opinion. Fresco sales people are much better.

    Observations from the front lines of the Irvine housing market?

    I didn't quite realize the value of these single level homes. My wife was very interested in the brand new single level Napa home in EW that was being offered at 1.4M last October, but I was unsure.  Come March 2021, an almost model match on the behind street sold for 1.8M!! and I was like  :'(...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    I agree with above. I was able to get Petaluma back in 2018 following this - it was totally unexpected since I had reserved and backed out multiple time, which meant they would have put me down in the list as they say. But when I was serious, I met with the sales a couple of times and i got a...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Unless things have radically changed in the last 3 months, I have seen some folks get called for Fresco in EW within 1 or 2 releases of getting on the list. The plan 2 and 3 are most popular ones, but one could have a good chance at plan 1. Also, sometimes if you visit the sales office 1-2 days...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Thank you for sharing this perspective! The 5ft offset in the back is really small. Considering that these extension lots were lots of the former Calistoga homes, which are some of the largest in EW , I thought there should have been sufficient space. But that 78K premium for Consevatory is...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    All plus plans of Fresco have a suite downstairs. The bedroom gets a little bigger and ensuite full bath - separate  powder room outside the suite for guests. Optional conservatory would work for plans 2+ and 3+ - there is enough space inside without conservatory. For the plan 1+, without this...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    On the last stretch of Fresco homes in Eastwood, all are going to be the Plus plans (1+, 2+, 3+) - So they will have the Suite downstairs as standard. But, conservatory is going to be optional.  I am finding this on IP website. It looks like buyers value the suite over the conservatory in...

    Property Tax "Total Net Taxable Value" increase this year

    This type of low prop tax discourages move up buyers. In my case, I am looking at paying 500$ more per month on prop tax compared to the house that I recently sold. I can bring in more equity, look for lowest interest rate but I cannot avoid the high prop tax as prices for move up homes have sky...

    Does the All American Asphalt smell affect Eastwood?

    Today around 8 pm the oak creek shopping center and surrounding areas all the way upto Hoag on Sand canyon ave had a strong smell of Asaphalt. I drove up into Stonegate and EW, NO smell of Asaphalt...what do you say about this?

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    It looks properties backing to major street, which usually have a bit of hard time selling are now doing well. After 51 Decker that was a Petaluma plan 2 backing to Jeffrey Blvd at an asking price of 1.2M went pending over one weekend, a new Petaluma Plan 1 listing now at 1.2 M (higher price per...

    Where the market is - Buyer Offers

    The plan 2 of Delano with 3 bedrooms went for 1.2M( i mean in contract), so why not plan 1 for 1M price at today's crazy market?. The sqt wise plan 1 is only 200 sqt less. Plan 1 misses as a side yard but makes it up somewhat with a small courtyard. Just wondering....

    So opendoor bought it Aug at 930K and they are selling for 90K more? I heard flipping is back in full swing  A collegue of mine mentioned he is back into flipping with this hot housing market. Just hoping it doesn't end the way happened in the last housing bubble.
