    Who has moved in to the 2010 Home Collection?

    So one of the restroom(toilet) location is next to another bedroom.  What I have found is that the wall is amazingly thin and seems like there is no sound isolation at all.  Any flush of toilet, it's loud and clear in the other bedroom.  Of course there are small things here and there needs to...

    Primrose at Portola Springs

    So looks like they lowered their prices.  This is interesting, the SFR prices are holding steady (even with motorcourt).  But the mid range priced detached condo (New or resale such as Cashette in Woodbury) are sliding lower (Coronado excluded).  Honestly I would prefer these over Coronados.  I...

    Painting a new home

    Yeah, $3700 sounded reasonable from a builder.  We paid around 2500 to paint our old home that was around 1500 sqft.  Wait, that means we were ripped off?  :-0

    Did you use Designated Lender (To all recent new home owners)

    I never dealt with the 45 days lock requirement.  Our incentive was $1500 credit which was nothing.  So I went with outside lender with a 30 days lock.  Agree with Mikeirvine, rates are really low right now and lender's profit margin are getting fatter.  So do your shopping and if you find the...

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    Good question.  The answer is probably no and I don't remember. Yeah, back when we were selling our home, we didn't list lot size.

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    We bought one before.  Mericort, we do own the land the house is sitting on.  Not the alley, or the walkway to get to the house in the back of the pack.  Just the land the home is on.

    So, where are we headed?

    All things pointing to double dip.  But I think another round of gov stimulation (intervention) is coming to prevent it.

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    With detach condos, you do own the land that the house is built on.  Owning the land is very important.  But I am just throwing this out for discussion.  In this era of master planned community (within the microscope of Irvine of course) and HOA, what can you do with the land you own 30 years...

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    I have only been to Korean BBQ House for lunch.  So when I asked for their AYCE deals and how they serve the pork belly, it's the same as Shik Do Rak Irvine, only thin cut bacon strips.

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    Pat Star, speaking of Shik Do Rak. What is up with Irvine K BBQ place with All You Can Eat Option?  Have you noticed?  The price is higher per person (Compare to Garden Grove) and they would only offer bacon strips instead of the thicker pork belly pieces?  I pay that to get THAT??? Oh wait!!! ...

    Move-up buyers in Woodbury (or anywhere in Irvine)?

    We were move up buyers.  We sold our previous home then moved into the Woodbury home a few months later.  Buying non-contingent doesn't mean they are not move up buyers.  That's not the right data to measure move up or not.  I would think one would have to pull up the previous transaction data...

    The new iPhone 4 is HAWT!

    Yeah I know!!  I don't know if I can wait that long.  iOS4 totally kills the performance on the older phone (my 3G).

    What city would you live in other than Irvine?

    I think time has past for Yao Yao.  She was the big thing a while ago but I have stop hearing about her.  She is super popular among all the "Stay Home Guys"(translation from Chinese) aka video game playing all day nerds...  She is also know to have the face of an angel and the body of the devil...

    End of the month quota

    Interesting observation.  I saw very similar scene as well.  Sneaky motorcycle cop pulling people left and right for stop sign.  Some morning I have to cross the same stop sign twice and each time I pass there is a different car pulled over.

    Unemployment by Income

    Well, the CEOs won't fire themselves so they fire the people below them, and so on, and so on and so on to the lowest level.  Sad, but reality.

    Parking in front of your house

    While I can see why it's annoying, my thinking is the same as irvinefan.  It's a public street right, so technically isn't it free for all?  Is it an unspoken rule?  Let's say if I am the one that's doing it and you confronted me.  First of all I wouldn't think it's a problem.  So I would be...
