Anyone updates on the $$ communities (Torrey, Oakmont, Silvermist, Juniper, Legend)?  Pricing or lot updates?

Would probably throw North Tustin, Orange and Anaheim Hills given commute. 

Juniper lots appear fine.  Especially later larger lots. 

Curious if anyone has any opinions on what they expect traffic/flow to be like on Bosque, especially after next couple of communities are built. Does anyone know if there will be a road bisecting Upperbee Canyon? 

3.625% Jumbo, no pts.  Float down option if lower on COE. 

Irvine pricing generally makes no ECONOMIC sense, cap rates are much lower than comparable real estate classes available elsewhere (never mind the diversification, maintaince capex and property management), however, once I add in my UTILITY yield (and it's different for everyone), value of...

Just so we're clear, are we talking about base pricing dropping?  Overall pricing may or may not include pre-plot options, elevation premium, lot premium etc.

visited the rest of the villages yesterday. given that larkspur, melody and others at or around 1mm have smallish yards, not hard to see why most are opting for ellwood even though zero lot line.  very little space spent on hallways and several rooms with partially/semi vaulted ceilings.  just...

Single story appears to be moving.  Was in sales office earlier this week and when inquired about single story, sales agent said line is out the door and best bet would be to get pre-qualified and take a number.  While in the office, overheard 2 phone calls and had another person browsing...

New homes have certain parts that come with 10 yr warranty.  Other portions of house are 1 yr. 

Agree; I grew up in Irvine and parents had a fairly decent sized yard.  I don't ever recall after the age of 7 playing in the back or front yard.  All my friends played at/near the elementary school and various greenbelts. 

Fairly certain that Juniper, Torrey, Silvermist etc. are 65 wide with 20-40 ft setbacks on avg lot size of +7k feet. 

Just saying that usually one of the greater advantages of directly owning RE is the depreciation (which wouldn't be useful in a IRA), however publicly traded REIT's would  make sense in a IRA. 

Probably faced with difficult task of trying to sell smallest, most poorly located lots in BP at higher prices than the largest, most advantageous lots in PP. 

Are you using self directed IRA for RE investment purposes?

I think current sales pace for all the +1.0mm houses in BP reflect what people think about the pricing and their alternatives.  In some cases, buyers may be waiting for cul de sac and larger lots, however, think most of the larger houses are finding Hidden Canyon and Baker Ranch to be more...

Hopefully the ingress and egress is better than the district. 

My big fear on the Roth is at some point law makers move the goal post and go to VAT.  So I've tried to hedge on all fronts.  So I like to think of savings in relation to 3 buckets Pre-tax-Tax deffered-IRA/401k After-tax-Tax exempt-ROTH IRA After-tax-Taxable-Checking/Savings/Brokerage

Different ethnicity's have different beliefs.  But generally agree, that I wouldn't WANT my kids to support me in old age.  So I guess it comes down to philosophically if you pay for your kids college, which helps them out earlier in life, but at the higher probability/added risk to them that...

May be mistaken but starting prices tend to no include options. Best guess estimate for new construction options would be 15-40 per ft. Which would add 42k-112k. Then you would need to add for lot premiums assuming that earlier phases had smaller lots and or less desirable lots.  Seems like...
