    Fresco at Orchard Hills

    I was really confused at the price-point. Doesn't Taylor Morrison have 3000 sq ft houses for $1.6M in the Reserves already?  I haven't seen either home - but I can't imagine the differences are that extreme. That said - I won't be shocked when they sell because the market is crazy.

    Realtor rebate for new house

    I don't know all the facts - but can we really call her greedy if there was no arrangement made prior to this transaction. Seems to me that the buyer learned a valuable lesson that you need to be specific around an arrangement before you jump to this path (and I presume the realtor should have...

    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    Why is this? Or are you only talking about purchasing as an investment vs. a property to live in?

    coronavirus

    Great news-  I wish we could just get mass volunteerism and everything in place. Shut down the world and just have a week of vaccinating for all I care.  All hands across the deck. Lets get it done. There should be nothing wasted. I keep hoping to see good news on Johnson & Johnson's vaccine...

    New Small SUV for ~$20k

    Unrelated but I would add to this. Anyone here happen to have the 2020 or 2021 Highlander Hybrid. Have obviously read reviews on the car forums but curious if anyone here happens to have it and if so any feedback on whether they like it, etc.  Am going to be in the market this year for a new...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    This is extremely true. Extremely true.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Seriously - Households making $200K are buying $1.4M homes?  No wonder prices in Irvine are where they are (if that is the case).

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

    I just went through them (but at 1.99%) and they delivered as advertised. In fact- when I called them they told me ignore the rate on the website (which at the time was 2.25) because they had a special that just came up for 1.99% (no cost / no fees).  I was skeptical - but they delivered. Expect...

    Amazon Fresh grocery store opens at Irvine Market Place

    It isn't super fancy - but it has a normal selection of a grocery store. This isn't like a trader joes we are talking about that has select items and you still need to go to a Ralphs or Albertsons or whatever. This is much closer to an Alberton's.  Some limitations - smaller deli and I thought...

    When will quarterly US GDP exceed 2019Q4?

    All the big banks like a blue wave in the short term when it comes to the stimulus, etc.  That is what is priced in with this AM's jump.  Whether reality aligns, who knows.

    President Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

    Yes - cause he defined it as "speculation" haha.

    All of these are facts...agree completely.

    President Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

    I'm glad I sound like a fake republican - since I'm not a republican.  I'm trying to outline facts...and where I talk politics it is to point fingers at you for bringing politics into the equation.

    President Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

    Lets cut to the number in the poll that matters - vs. your snippets talking about the politics. We already know people don't trust Trump - the bigger picture that I keep telling you is these companies continue to say they are going to do the right thing.  Why would they act on Trump's behalf to...

    President Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

    Yes - the medical vaccine companies should get credit for coming up with a vaccine to fight a virus we had never seen. This is guiness book of world record stuff. Your statement on this is just complete naivety and I shouldn't be surprised. You clearly don't read much - because the UK trial is...

    Close refi on Monday, start new refi on Tuesday... what then?

    Who are you going through - if you don't mind sharing. Seems like a total bait and switch and given I'm in the midst of the process am hoping you don't list the name of who I'm working with haha.

    President Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

    They are actually going pretty darn smooth - downright amazing when you consider the timeframe everyone has been working through (if they succeed with this by the end of the year - this would be a monumental accomplishment).  The J&J vaccine is going well and while the Astra Zeneca had some data...

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

    Rates have came down a view places. Intelli loan has 15 year no cost / no fee at <2.2% and interactive has 1.99% no cost / no fee 15yr and 2.35% 30 year (no cost / no fee).  No clue on whether they deliver - but some aggressive rates coming back in a few places. I've been surprised to see...
