    The end is nigh-- again?

    Not really my thing either, but it seems fully integrated in how companies market today. I only wish I had bought more.

    It will take them more than 50 years to burn through the mountains of cash they're sitting on.

    Great Park: Shea Homes - Sagewood

    WOW!  That's impressive. I ddn't know about the Fallis connection.  Another reason to question OS' rationality.

    The end is nigh-- again?

    I remember last year when it was at 14k, I heard a talking head saying the Dow could hit 20K. Shook my head and laughed. Doesn't seem quite as outlandish now. But this has been a long rally and we're well above pre-ressession levels. I think a correction/pull back (remember those?) is a near...

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    I don't think that reflects what's "available." I was there too and was told they're getting ready to release the second half of their current phase, which are all reserved. The price list they gave out was for the previous phase, which (I think) had the $1.6M- $1.7M. If you look on their...

    The end is nigh-- again?

    They say "smart money" is already out of equities. The same people prdicted a market correction/crash last year, and I've since made another 25%. I'll continue to ride it out, but starting to look for exits. When are you calling the top?

    Additional Cost and Options for New Home Purchase

    Yeah, sure they get their money one way or the other, but I think you did come out a little ahead vs. comparable product. The process just felt more "upfront." I've bought a couple new construction homes, so I'm a little numb to it. But to go through a 27 page upgrade list where every wire...

    Additional Cost and Options for New Home Purchase

    Lennar rolls in a lot of upgrades as standard and markets it as "everything's included." They aren't throwing in top of the line upgrades, but you dont feel like you're getting nickeled and dimed for minor items. I don't know how it impacts their bottom line, but you feel better when your...

    Best Mexican in/around Irvine

    I'm kinda surprised no one is writing in Javiers. I'm not a big fan, but they seem to do well.

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    9 ft cielings on the $1.5M home make Plan 1 a non-starter for me. Over the weekend I saw LV price sheet (for last phase) and I think LV Plan 2 was $1.6M- $1.7M. So, we're talking $200K plus for 1222 SF more yard. Then you have to budget yard install/maintenance costs. Then throw in motorcourt...

    I think they also charge for games, so maybe they make money that way.  BWW has something similar. They're thinking if you didnt bring a phone or Ipad, you might get desperate and pay to occupy the kids.

    Where's the pork?

    Guilty.  Although not as extreme.  Work out/eat healthy during the week and binge on the weekend.  Keeps my metabolism guessing.
