    What the bubble?!?

    Why put more down?  $100,000 more down would only save you $491 a month and less interest tax deduction.  You could possibly get more if you hold and invest the money in the equity market and you would be more liquid. You would need to only clear 3.28% on your money (taking tax deduction into...

    What the bubble?!?

    Then who could actually affford a $800,000 home in Irvine?  20% down is $160,000 and you would have a $640,000 loan amount.  I highly doubt the average annual income for someone looking to buy is $256,000 and that would be a starter home in Pavilion Park and a starter detached in Cypress...

    What the bubble?!?

    What's the general rule of thumb?  If your annual household income is $200,000, you should be able to afford a $600,000 home, right? I know it's very general and DTI and stuff like that come into play, but isn't it something like 3x your annual income?

    Stonegate Vs. Pavilion Park

    Here are similar adds from IP: * Driveway from Cambria/San Mateo on some lots were $30-$40k add on * Bigger back yards were a $10-15k add on to Cambria homes *Laguna Altura backyards were a $60k add on for both driveway and backyard So the argument of having a smaller back yard is better...

    Stonegate Vs. Pavilion Park

    Stonegate: Pros: 1) Location is slightly better, I mean this neighborhood is literally 2 streets over and separated by Palmeras apts 2) Big plus is the Elementary School, love walking the kiddos to school (walking distance) 3) Pocket Parks around the neighborhood with a sports park 4) Irvine...

    Marigold at Cypress Village

    Does anyone think that these CV homes will reach Laguna Altura pricing per sq footage after build out?  I saw the Siena Plan 3 comparison vs Marigold Plan 1 vs Springhouse Plan 1 argument but when all these get bulit out, which will see the most house appreciation jump?

    [IHB] A Review of the Springhouse Tract at The Great Park

    They said they already have a buyer for each specific home with waiting lists per lot.  They said they didn't do it like the other builders but will release the lots to people on the waiting list.

    Marigold at Cypress Village

    Which is a better buy?  Marigold Plan 3 in Cypress Village 774k or one of the Pavillion Park starter homes (Roundtree or Springhouse) that range from 775-799k.  PP has driveways, street access and bigger backyards, CV has location to freeway and amenities.

    Santa Maria Condo > How much would this fireplace setup cost to make?

    Looks sweet but I wonder how much return you would get out of that fireplace.  I guess they got their return since they sold a $450k condo for $555k :)

    Agave @ Portola Springs [William Lyon]

    Does anyone know how much a new build, 3bd, 2.5 bath attached condo (in general terms) in Irvine would rent out for? Standard upgrades, etc.  I heard $1.50 - $1.80 is going price for sq ft for rent in Irvine depending on location, etc. If someone bought a new $600k condo, put 20% down, had a...

    Great Park Neighborhoods

    East side of PP will be closer to more industrial buildings and closer to the border of LF and FR.  Some have commented on being close to the Great Park is good but not exactly in the Great Park as it will attract visitors. Tustin Legacy advantage is price point.  You could say a similar...

    Laguna Altura is HOT!

    All the properties per sq footage seem really high for Irvine.  Would it be safe to say that besides Turtle Ridge, Laguna Altura commands the highest sq ft per dollar?

    Tustin Condo around I-5 and 55

    How much are Columbus Square condos going for in Tustin nowadays?  Looks like a movie set with all the 3 story condos.  Makes me want to go to one of them and tip them over.

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    Got to drive in for a bit, it looks decent but you can tell the difference b/w here and Irvine.  Also being in between industrial isn't the best but hopefully these detached condos/SFRs are priced at least 100k less than Irvine.

    Opinions: best choice of hardwood flooring, granite color w/ white cabinets

    I wonder how much this client paid TSI Design.  Actually, does anyone know how much it would cost to pay an interior designer (but not find the furniture), more so just for design concept of interior.....
