<p><strong>LawyerLiz </strong>- with 1 year and a 30% reduction we'd be good to go on my dream house. In this market there is a chance it will still be there in a year and at a 30% reduction even! Sacramento has been hit hard and yet people seem slow to drop their prices. A few houses do fly...

<p>I loved seeing Mr & Mrs IR's dream home on the Valentine's Day Blog and it made me wonder how many of us have "dream" homes that we watch on the MLS and fantasize about someday living in them. </p> <p>I'll share mine. <a...

Many of the young families I know in Newport send their kids to Mariners Christian School. The parents seem to be very involved in the school and quite happy with it.

<p>I'm hoping this cycle isn't any different, <strong>awgee</strong>. Five or six years is about the amount of time I'll need to save up enough money for a down payment. </p> <p><strong>caliguy2699</strong> - a few months with IHB and I'm realizing how "normal" Sacramento is compared to south...

<p>We moved to Sacramento last spring. My husband is a pastor at a large church in the suburbs and after going through the sticker shock of housing prices here compared to the housing prices of a smallish steel belt city we decided to rent. </p> <p>This was a more difficult decision than it...

Bought a house that was FSBO without using an agent. We had a good attorney and had absolutely no problems. At the time we knew the neighborhood very well and knew the prices. We also were familiar with the house. When we sold the house we used a realtard and she lived up to the moniker...

Shooby - I'm with the lower rent crowd. We recently entered the rental market after owning a home on the east coast. Our experience was that there are many rentals coming onto the market right now so we had a great selection to choose from and because we had great credit we could afford...

Does Tawny Kitaen count? Probably not considering I had to check the spelling of her name on IMDB. Perhaps that should be the criteria? If you can't spell the name without help it isn't a true celebrity?

Wow. I'm speechless. My sister in law lives up there on Pelican Hill. Those houses do have an incredible view of the ocean. Never dreamed it would be a $67 million dollar view. But...wow. That's crazy.

<p>I loved the selling point in <em><strong>graphrix's</strong></em> listing - "living space with exterior access". </p>

<p>Wow! That second entry that Bubblegum posted with the page that says "The way Newport looked the first time it took your breath away" is a brilliant marketing phrase. My gut seized up when I saw it because the first few times I went up to homes in Newport Coast I would always pull off to...

<p>Ohhh...you're right! That is a gorgeous house! I have family and friends in Newport Beach so I know that area fairly well and to be honest the stuff I've seen in Irvine was always the low end condo places that lacked any character at all. So I was pleasantly suprised to click through your...

<p>When we lived in Buffalo, NY we had the opportunity to see inside numerous Arts and Crafts style homes. We considered buying one but found most of them to be very dark inside ("sunlight is not a feature" was a perfect description, <strong>bkshopr</strong>!) We also didn't like how cramped...

<p>Ahhh - the port streets. One of the few neighborhoods in Newport Beach to still have a real "community" feeling to it. I would think it would be a highly desirable area for families with young kids who want to live in Newport but still have sidewalks, and schools you can walk the kids to...

<p>Beacon Bay in Newport Beach has always been on my short list of places I'd buy with my imaginary millions. I love the location and the neighborhood feel of it. It does intrigue me that even though it is a land lease people still buy the houses and then tear them down and rebuild. </p>...
