BTB- Which car you drive? I am curious :)

Is there anyone here who recently bought at EB, and been through their Design centers. We have our appointment in few days.

Congrats. Same here, we bought Elderberry last week. I never looked into Avila seriously but considered Juniper. After consulting with few people decided to go with EB. Time will tell if this is a good decision or not. I got into Plan 2.

we have been living in PS from last 4 years, very close 4B location( Brisa etc), and are in the process of buying a bigger( SFH) in the same area(5A). I have several friends who are living here from several years, and are buying more expensive homes as they love it here. So based on this, if it...

There are few expert realtors on this forum such as USC, they can probably shed more light on it as well. Putting things in perspective Time it takes to get from Avila to Elderberry: 5-7 mins max Price difference: Avilla ( 10% expensive) Go figure this out, and buy what you can afford.

How about Altair?

Possibly location

Not sure if i will be able to pay more than what i am required to, so on this trend i would pay 100K principal in next 5 year, with balance left to around 935K after 5 years.

What would make sense in Irvine, say Price 2800-3000 Sqft home: 1.3-1.5m 20% down, all incl montage and taxes approx 6000$ per month Rent for same size home: 4000-4200 $ per month Annual cost to buy: 72,000 + 2K maintenances Rental cost: 50,000$ Five year cost for buying: 370,000 Rental...

If that is the case, then there won't be any change in 2017's taxes?

If Trump signs this new bill before Christmas time, would this become effective for 2017. So when we are ready to file our 2017 taxes in Q1 2018, we will be filing with new tax rules?

USC will probably buy another Porsche. As per GOP, Porsche will increase their sales, and will employ more people, resulting in a job growth and stability. LOLs

Agreed. I think resale will stay stronger, however new homes about 1.3+ will be impacted.

There was a study done by Chapman university very recently, where they have predicted home prices will drop by 10%+ due to new Tax reforms. Higher interest rate and less deductions will make it harder for people to upgrade to bigger homes. I am guessing what today is selling for 1.4M, in Dec...

WOW. $500/sf+ for detached condos. Is this the new normal? Friend got a price sheet from Celeste, where 1600 SQFT, Plan 3 is listed at 845K base price+ 35K upgrades= 880. Unbelievable. Thoughts on the price?

No more deduction for interest on home equity debt. A $10,000 cap on the deduction for real estate taxes. A new requirement that you own your home for 5 years ? rather than 2 ? before you can sell it tax-free. It?s not a great time to sell houses for a living. Winner: Rental Real Estate Owners...

Can you avoid capital gain taxes, if you upgrade your residence, say you move up from 1200 SQFT condo to 2000 SQFT SFH for example?

OK. I am going to sell my 1.5M home, and move into rental from an FCB owner. Then I will invest that money in Apple and Microsoft. Way to go.

In addition to this, you will not get any tax benefits if you have dependents? or Standard deductions are going to take care of that?
