No. It means that the lender has to approve the amount that you are paying for the place. Can't lowball or even offer much below asking since the lender is already losing money on the sale.

... and back to the point of this thread. 30 Appomattox looks pretty nice, but it is a short sale. Might make it difficult to negotiate.

The great older areas that I would recommend are Turtle Rock(best schools in Irvine), Woodbridge and University park. Many of the original owners are downsizing or dieing and they are being replaced with young families like us. The older areas usually are less dense, have more parks, off...

I lived in a place with tons of great Mom and Pop eateries (San Diego) and I got fat from eating out too much! We also aren't a fan of the generic food chains. Here in Irvine we eat at home a lot more and it sure is easier on the wallet and the belly. I also work right next to a Trader Joes...

We are raising 1 (soon to be 2) kids in a 2/2 1200 square foot condo. It isn't too bad. 1500 square feet should be fine! The great room design is what makes it work for us. Couch, chair, small tv, dining table and a small computer table all fit in there with plenty of open floor space for...

I can say from first hand experience that this is NOT the case in the part of Turtle Rock that my parents live in. The neighbors, most of whom are older and retired, have a great community. They do a group walk every morning, go on weekend journeys and have blockwide events all the time. I...

No. We live in an older 1976 built townhome attached only on one side and our neighbor's TV is on the other side of the wall that our bed is next to. Every night until 2AM we would have to listen to their TV while we try to sleep. I asked them to turn it down, but they are old with poor...

It already did happen there in the 1993-1994 season. Of course there was nothing but cow pastures at the time (now worth millions per lot!). They did evacuate western Turtle Rock but were able to stop the fires before it hit any homes. It was fun for me because school was cancelled the next...

Actually now is a great time to be a renter of a SFH or large townhome. I can rent an $800,000 home for less than $3k a month. Rents have been trending upwards slightly, but they are still a relative steal compared to buying right now. I find it hard to believe that rents went up 12% in a few...

One of Nirvinerealtor's examples does show just that: 20 Buelton Sale History 03/29/2007: $1,580,000 08/19/2005: $1,480,000 However in the...

NIrvinerealtor, could you show us one example of a home that has appreciated 5% a year since late 2005? Just curious.

Looks like another reduction. They just put a plan one on the MLS for $668,990. MLS# <strong>S487071.</strong>

Now these are getting down in range of the pricing of the Paloma Condo tract. Will this force Paloma to reduce?

Update: I have no idea what is going on with this. How can this be profitable? <strong>Price Reduced: 04/03/07 -- $829,900 to $799,900</strong> <strong>Price Reduced: 04/17/07 -- $799,900 to $769,900</strong>

I amazes me to hear that buyers of $1mill+ homes are focusing on the monthly payment.

On other forums that I participate in that have nothing to do with houses, company shills post fake hype posts on their product quite often. They are pretty easy to spot. It is actually a cheap and often effective form of marketing. I wouldn't be surprised to see that kind of marketing here...

We have a thread for every tract already. The link for the thread for Verandas is below. The price you have posted has been the same since Jan. I think they will need to reduce quite a bit to bring in buyers. BTW, do you work for William Lyon? The wording you use makes me think that maybe...

And your point is? I'm sorry but those mello roos and HOA fees are indeed ridiculous. If you bought a home without those added fees, you could get a home worth over $100,000 more for the same monthly payment. You reminded me of Gary Watts.

I wonder if Lennar's problems will effect the development of the Great Park. They bought all of the residential land with plans on making 10000 homes. Will they delay? ramp things up? run kicking and screaming?
