Oakmont houses backing Bosque will see upper been Canyon. Similar to Jeffrey trail

Tough to get all your assets to match up at the same time.  For lack of better term, if you're a strong hand (ie, sole proprieter, have pretty good control/confidence where your job will reside), probably takes some risk off the table. 

Akkord, Congrats on the COE.  I too am closing in a few weeks, given your recent experience, any things you would recommend after COE? 

In same boat. . . . overpaid. . . by a lot, especially compared to what other types of assets one could buy on a comparative basis.  Need to use a lot of mental adjustments for utility yield to even have it begin to be comparable. . . .

While I generally agree that Irvine homes are probably on the high side of fairly valued, would argue that there are some limitations to looking at strictly price/ft.  View lots, large lot relative to size of house, non-thru streets etc can drastically change that valuation.  Think at this...

Per octa.  Expect to build 133 on and off ramp toll free at Trabuco

Don't recall high end single story (Pulte) selling well.  Recall them re-permitting.  Interesting that Silvermist is doing as well given it's a very similar floor plan (though better location and larger lots).  I'm interested in the Eastwood single story but will await pricing. 

Not to mention Belvedere has 10' ceilings in "select locations". . . . hopefully most of great room kitchen and not just entrance.

Might be wrong, but the Stonegate and CV that went for 400/ft were shared driveways or next to busy streets (Sand Canyon, Portola, Jeffrey, Irvine Blvd).  I recall Laurel being base priced at 425. 

Would guess base pricing 425-450 per ft

apx 400/ft, view lots were another 150-250k. 

USC-appreciate your insightful posts.  Couple of single story places I've checked out in Tustin have 12 and 14 ft ceilings throughout.  Do you know what apx $/ft premium is on those higher ceilings?

Re: 1 story, should trade at a premium, how much of a premium is the question. 

Would respond differently depending on age, depending on where your net worth was, ie. business, IRA, ROTH IRA, after tax savings etc.  Stability of income and potential growth of income.  Generally would say 25%

Saw the same thing, very cool energy on a Sunday afternoon for little ones. 

Irvine Pacific doesn't build houses. They're subcontracted to the new home company

Does anyone know what sales prices were for lots 29 or 30?

sounds like it knocks out a greater majority of your checklist.  Congrats. 

Hawthorn? 

Generally agree with; current communities aren't what I would consider premium unless you have a view.  Do think that later phases will be pretty good, should have view lots, hillside=lower density (usually), no thru traffic(but you're on the furthest north side of Irvine).
