    Is it open yet?  They've updated their yelp listing.  It used to show June 26th, but now it's only showing Friday, Saturday and Sunday hours.  Dinner only (4pm-12am). Is this their soft open?

    What are my internet service provider options in Irvine?

    Anyone have AT&T Fiber?  How was the installation process?  Did they dig up your yard and drill holes into the side of your house? I've read some people have issues with AT&T throttling video services like Netflix, Hulu or YouTube.  Any truth to this?

    New Listing - Las Ventanas Plan 3 home in Portola Springs (20 Pawprint)

    Tell them you are no longer accepting offers - and then wait for them to beg and say, I'll pay more! - those are the magic words =)

    Is $800k the new going rate for attached 3br townhomes in Irvine?

    I think in a lot of places, 3br homes can be considered true starter homes.  Maybe you rent an apt for 1br or 2br, but when you start a family, maybe you look for a 3br starter home.  So starter homes are approaching $1M here.  Man I need to make more money...

    Is $800k the new going rate for attached 3br townhomes in Irvine?

    Just basing this off of a few listings in Stonegate and Cypress Village.  Is this the new reality? $800k https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/108-Churchill-Irvine-CA-92620/2094345674_zpid/ $780k https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/34-Passion-Flower-92618/home/40025412 $810k...

    Strongest seller's market ever!!

    https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/34-Passion-Flower-92618/home/40025412 How strong is an offer when you accept within 2 days of listing?  And cancel your open house?  I would think it would take at least a few days to let a good number of people see the home, and maybe a few more days to send...

    Trump Tax Reform and Home Prices

    I'm gonna go ahead and vouch for someguy.  Not because I know him, but I know enough about taxes that I understand his comments.  He's right on point.  The big tax deductions are heavily skewed to the wealthy.  One of the reasons (although not the main reason) I bought a home was in fact to take...

    My neighbor's daughter is in college and needs short term housing for 4 months.

    Not sure what would be considered reasonable, but when I was in between homes, I got a short term rental at SOFI apartments. http://www.sofiirvine.com/ My original lease with them was for 4 months.  Not a luxurious place, but it got the job done and I had no complaints.  Staff was very...

    Los Altos, Cambria, Helena

    Hopefully this is a simple question with a simple answer.  I'm looking at these attached homes, and they look like townhomes to me, but I think in official paperwork (loans/appraisals) they may be referred to as condos.  Any reason that might be the case? I'm thinking it has to do with HOA...

    Caserta plan 2 or Helena plan 1

    Another good point.  For me it's still a very tough call.  If I had the luxury of waiting it out, I'd probably opt for Helena.  but I think I'm cutting the timing too close, and I think I really need to be settled into the new place before due date.  Can't live in the current apt (way too small...

    Caserta plan 2 or Helena plan 1

    Thank you capboba. Actually, community and family is pulling me towards Caserta, even though I agree that Helena may be a better value and potentially better for resale.  Currently renting, and Caserta is available sooner.  Also, potential newborn on the way, and not sure I like the idea of...

    Caserta plan 2 or Helena plan 1

    Thank you both.  I am leaning that way, but timing and family circumstances might dictate my actions.  Only time will tell.

    Caserta plan 2 or Helena plan 1

    Just wanted to get outside opinions.  Prices are fairly comparable.  I think both are great.  I like the village/community in Cypress Village because its completed and there seems to be more parks and green areas.  I also like the downstairs bedroom layout for the Caserta plan 2.  One additional...
