Plan 1 starts at $751,990?  Do you think prices will continue to go up for the houses here?  They are looking like Irvine prices now...

The low rates recently will contribute to rising home prices.  With the recent drop in rates, people could afford $150-$200 more per month which is equivalent to around $25,000-$35,000 more in price.

Comparing those two communities is like comparing a loaded BMW 545 series to a Benz C-class.  Ellwood starts high 700s and Laurel starts at 1 mil.  I must be missing something.  Even with Plan 3, that starts at low to mid 800s.  It should be more of the lines of comparing Jasmine with Ellwood.

It would be a lot harder to upgrade because the size is slightly different and installation.  Also especially with HOAs having to snoop and getting approvals.

$8k is actually cheaper than some new builds that range from $11-$13k.  Check out NanaWall or LaCantina prices, pretty expensive.  Also depends on how many actually fold out (4-8).  Probably won't get in resale value unless your backyards opens ups and you have some depth of view.  Also, if...

I went to check with the prices and they said that the grand opening prices went up around 20-25k.  She said the pre-sales sold out as well. With decks: Plan 1 850-855k Plan 2: 870-875k Plan 3: 890-895k Having a hard time deciding which Plan would be the best.  Plan 1 has the best layout...

I stopped by Ellwood in Beacon Park and asked the sales rep how much the rooftop deck would be and they said $40k for the MidCentury Modern Elevation.  That seems pretty good for the square footage you get up top, plus the view.  Some view lots on the Knolls in Baker's Ranch went for $60k...

Out of the sub $1 mil homes, which of the communities is a good "value" buy?  Including all the townhomes up to the Weltons, etc...  Do you guys think Opus will be around $600k?

Congrats Cap! How much did you get the Plan 1 for and when?

Has anyone seen these in person?  Someone said the views were awesome for Costa Mesa and Pacific Ocean view?  Isn't mid 800k for a loft a lot for Costa Mesa?

Will this person even get the listing/selling fee back?

Are you saying that if your primary residence is 500k?  Your net worth would have to be 1.5 million?

Does anyone know how much these rent for?  One of my friends said he bought here and rented out but didnt say how much his mortgage is.

Looks like new construction in Lake Forest hasn't really moved since 2012.  Similar property that sold almost 1 year ago sold at similar price. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Lake-Forest/6-Poplar-Ct-92630/home/49874572 $797,000 with some upgrades on new construction = $287 with no mello roos.

Only if was in 2006 or 2007 :)

Does this apply to Irvine and other high priced OC cities? I saw this article and wanted to see your expertise to see if this truly applies to Irvine.  Some still think some Irvine new builds still have some room to grow before we top off, some think we are already at the top...

In Orchard Hills, the new detached condos (similar to Cypress Village, not Jade Court) will be start high 700k by Irvine Pacific or in IP Neighborhoods.  They just finished up the focus groups from a local Costa Mesa market research company and a girl that works there are saying their price...

Going into spring, I really don't think prices will see a downswing unless rates skyrocket past 5%.  Stock market is doing really well so a decline in home values don't seem likely in Irvine, at least at this point.  New homes will keep resales from getting as much as they could be getting and...
