    So I'm ready to cancel my cable.. what should I do?

    Ive had COX for 2 years now and I hated not having another option. I was really close to switching to DirecTV when an AT&T knocked on our door. Apparently they are wiring the neighborhood with fiber optics so U-Verse was now an option. Personally, i dont like AT&T because of past problems, but...

    Where did our new realtor go?

    Based on the conversations and potential interesting/ongoing threads with Indie, it wouldn't surprise me if it was nonFCB in disguise...  :-X

    Home Purchase Story

    Confirming Nous's statement. It is in the PS disclosures and it shows up as a dotted line marked "future construction." I hope they decide to follow through with the plan.

    Like what Nous said, material costs can vary, but materials geberally inexpensive. The real cost, if you choose to hire someone, is in the labor. Be prepared to pay a premium when you hire someone. Of course, most of the time, they know how to grade properly for drainage, irrigation, etc. But...

    For some reason, I really liked this. It came out yesterday and I am sure it was their version of a tribute to Steve Jobs. http://www.xkcd.com/961/

    closing escrow

    Thank USC, Ill contact the lender. Initially they didn't need a HOA cert but asked for one at the last minute. Apparently, the HOA have a high volume of requests right now so their turnaround time is 3 days. Because the lender requested it so late in the process, do you think that is a good...

    closing escrow

    Question for brokers, agents and anyone else familiar with closing escrow: Are borrowers ALWAYS the ones responsible for paying an interest rate lock extension penalty when escrow fails to close on time (i.e. within the lock period)? What if the it is not the borrowers fault for escrow failing...

    Santa Clara @ Stonegate

    Just curious, what is making you want to opt out of San Carlos Court for Santa Clara (or holdout for another option)? Is it the amenities or the overall setup of the comparable units?

    Laguna Altura in 2011

    They should add a scale to that mini map. It makes it seem like Quail Hill shopping center is just across the street when it really isn't. I guess that might make people interested in buying.

    Who can truly afford a home in Irvine?

    I'm usually surprised by how many potential buyers walk into a sales office with parents from either side. Its interesting that the parents do most of the talking including asking the questions. The sales counselors sometimes don't know who to direct their comments/questions at: the young couple...

    Who can truly afford a home in Irvine?

    I think a good question to ask is "who is buying these homes"? Are they first time homebuyers? If so, how old are they? Are they older buyers? There are people with so much money. It can deter first time homebuyers and young buyers who don't have a lot of cash stored up.

    It's Keystone Pacific Property Management. Can you tell me the types of things they look for in the engineering drawings?  I'm not planning on doing any extravagant or something that would be borderline questionable.

    Las Ventanas by Taylor Morrison at Portola Springs

    I will definitely agree with those points. The further in you go, the closer you get to the toll roads, which aren't that bad. Then again, its a trade off.
