    Thinking of going FHA 3.5% downpayment

    It sounds like you want to own a home, but you don't really want a small condo in Irvine or near Main Place. It also sounds like you have been saving for the home you would really want, but have not been able to get any of the better deals available. It would not make sense for you to buy...

    Case-Schiller for Costa Mesa

    I have noticed that many of the new listings are on the east side and prices are finally starting to come down over there, but not nearly the same percentage as they did on the west side. <blockquote></blockquote>many of the sellers may be escaping by the skin of their teeth from early...

    Christmas Creep

    Home Depot had all their Christmas stuff out Sept 26th. It seemed so inappropriate, especially since it was very warm that weekend and felt so much like summer still. I recall feeling really put off by it.

    PUR water filter

    I had the same problem with the PURs, but it was the only one that didn't require drilling in a rental and replacing it was still cheaper and more environmentally friendly than bottled. Now we have a fridge with the filter. The one thing I miss about the PUR is the red line telling you when it...

    Countertop paint

    Let me preface this by saying that our kitchen is one of the ugliest on earth. It's not a matter of countertops and cabinets, rather those plus plumbing, wiring etc, which is just not an option right now. So, I saw an ad for Rustoleum countertop paint that you could apply to formica and it...

    Case-Schiller for Costa Mesa

    On a more personal note, one of my ?if I win the lottery? houses on Aviemore (great ocean views, 1/4 ac, 3000sf just renovated) sold for $1.6M (http://www.flaney.com/CA/Costa-Mesa/1167-Aviemore-Terrace-Costa-Mesa/S555796/) Believe it or not, but back in the 60's this was a starter...

    Reading While Driving

    My husband was driving on the 57 last year and witnessd a mini van weaving, changing lanes without indicators and very inconsistent speeds. When he finally was able to get up and around this dangerous driver, he saw that the woman at the wheel was reading the Koran. It was almost like a suicide...

    My Amusing Open House Experience

    Ha! The nitwit listing agent for the house we bought was with Evergreen. Although I suspect that the correlation for being a nitwit is more with just being a realtor rather than which brokerage the license is hung with :)

    Loan Modification Group, is this fraud or legit?

    There should be a reality show "modify my loan" like pimp my ride

    What are your thoughts on my neighbor?

    He was trespassing on your property. Hopefully now that he knows you are there, he won't do it again, but if he does I would just tell him that you would prefer that he not do it. Unless he's a total nutter, I doubt he will. If he is a total nutter and does it again after you have clearly told...
