Because, you know, the 7000 square foot Trevi homes are shacks by most standards.

At bottom of the list published, they break out OC figures for new and resale homes, so they do compile that info. There really is no other explanation for the huge bump in sales price and sales volume in 92602 unless you include Orchard Hills new home sales.

The upward trend for 92602 continues. I think it's the 6th highest-priced zip code in OC now. Both sales price and sales volume are tremendously increased from the year prior, even though in other areas of Irvine both numbers are more or less flat.

I'd love that! But First Class Pizza is right there, and I'd guess they have a non-compete clause in their lease.

Yup, pretty much need to order a pizza per person for average eaters. It's not a location-based issue.

Yellowfin Fish Grill closed at least a couple weeks ago in Woodbury Town Center. Good riddance. They sucked as Oceanic Fish Grill, then they redecorated and made some changes to their menu and re-opened as Yellowfin. Too bad the quality/taste of their food didn't improve. I'm glad there's the...

For the month of November, the numbers are even more impressive for Orchard Hills. 90% increase in price over last year with a huge increase in volume as well, while all other areas in Irvine had a decline in volume.

Yeah, Shady Canyon is so ghetto. Seriously? Complaining about Shady Canyon? Why the hate for SC? Are the homes too big? Are the lot sizes too large? Some people will complain about everything! Give this person a million dollars and they'll complain that now they have to pay taxes on the million.

Looks like Orchard Hills sales are now affecting 92602 avg sales price. 92603 used to be the highest sales price (Shady Canyon), consistently followed by 92618. Now 92602 is a bit ahead of everyone else.

OC Register has a new promotion running currently. It can be found at ocregister.com/go/wintersavings. So, as a current Sunday only+digital subscriber, I'm paying $2.99/week. Even though the promotion says that you can't be a current subscriber, has anyone had success in the past in requesting...

Picture of Trevi on front page of LA Times today, although the article itself isn't about Trevi, per se.

And, of course, the midterms are incredibly unrepresentative of what the populace as a whole is. The people who show up to vote are much older and much whiter than the populace as a whole, so the midterms should be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to immigration policy. If the new...

Now, reporters are being asked to deliver newspapers. http://www.npr.org/2014/11/18/364889041/orange-county-register-reporters-deliver-the-news

It's now called Portola Springs Village.

Mind if I ask which HOA this is?

If you do ask for a variance, why should the HOA grant you a variance and not someone else? The HOA rules are in place, and when you ask for a variance, you should have a special reason, not just because you don't like the rules. If you don't have that unique reason/circumstance, then it's...

Within an hour of sending my email to the city, I got a call back from a city employee letting me know that they're aware of the problem, and are actively working to address it. City landscaper maintenance have been told to remove signs when they can, and the city has 3 people actively removing...

It's been over 2 weeks since the election, and yet political signs continue to litter the medians, sidewalks, and parkways. There are fewer of them, but they continue to be unsightly. The Irvine city website seems to be minimally functional today (a lot of links aren't working, whether I'm using...

30-50% of the time?! Not even close. Maybe, at the high end, maybe 10% (that includes rainy days). Talk about being negative Nellie here.

It's so hard to compare directly two different developments, or even the same development phase-to-phase. There are so many considerations built into the base price: size of lot and whether there is a view are two big factors, but even other more subtle considerations such as what is behind the...
