    [IHB] Closed Sales from 12/20/2012 to 12/26/2012

    22 Bungalow (http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/22-Bungalow-92620/home/5950549) next door sold for more ($760K) in October and it was smaller (2418 sq. ft vs. 2700 sq. ft). One less bedroom and smaller lot by 2000 sq. ft. I believe you could still hear some road noise from 22 Bungalow also.

    Portola Springs new home sites

    I'm not sure if it makes sense for a Target since the Foothill Ranch Target (and Walmart) are close by way of the toll road. And in the future, Portola Parkway will be connected to Foothill Ranch.  And don't forget the Target (and new Walmart) at the Irvine Spectrum. There will also be retail in...

    Piggyback loans (80/10/10 or 80/15/5 or 75/20/5 etc)?

    The HELOC is fixed rate over the term (10 to 15 years) and the amount is "over 85%" so possibly up to 100%.

    Piggyback loans (80/10/10 or 80/15/5 or 75/20/5 etc)?

    If you can put 20% down, it may make more sense to get a HELOC after closing. For example, Hanscom Federal Credit Union (easy to join), offers a fixed rate HELOC over different periods. They currently offer a "Fixed Rate Advance - Over 85% LTV" at 5.99% for 10 to 15 years...

    1,206 more apartments approved for Irvine Spectrum area

    Looking at the map, I actually took Ocean Ave (parallel to Lincoln) to Abbot Kinney to Washington and then to Lincoln. I think this avoided most of the really bad traffic. Just watch for the speed traps on Abbot Kinney.

    Wow. I used that street for my commute between Santa Monica and Hawthorne in 1998. It usually took around 30 minutes.

    1,206 more apartments approved for Irvine Spectrum area

    The article mentions a pedestrian bridge that will be built for the Jeffrey Open Space Trail. Anyone know where they're building this bridge? At a rate of $10,000 per acre for the developer's 24.6-acre project, Irvine received $246,000. The money will be used for building a pedestrian bridge as...

    Lambert Ranch in Irvine

    I think that's to watch for escapees from the Musick Jail.  ;) Actually, I thought it was the cell phone tower disguised as a water tower.
