    New Owner Problems

    Your list looks too short, especially for IP. Thermal insulation between floors helps noise problem somewhat, but I don't think it's designed to be sound proof.  I can still hear people talking downstair somewhat if I pay close attention, but I think it's coming thru little gap below door. ...

    Crap... Murphy's Law strikes again... Need HVAC rec

    In the current market w/ bidding war, I doubt buyers are even thinking about warranty.  I sold my condo (not in Irvine), and the buyer paid for the warranty.

    New Irvine house with small lot size

    Study the village layout carefully, and you may find few lots that are larger than others. Now trying to buy that larger lot in this buying frenzy is different story.

    Starting Landscaping - Rare Earth Systems

    I agree, but who?  Who can I trust, has reasonable price, does a good job and communicates on timely manner?  I see a contractor who's doing my neighbor's yard, and he doesn't have a license, and I saw him shortcutting few things. By the way, Chris never came back with quote on time, so I...

    Real Estate Photographer

    It's easy. All you need is a DSLR and Photoshop. Even a cheap entry level DSLR will be good enough. If you have a cheap prime lens, that would be great for interior shots. Working with PS might take a little time to learn though if you're a novice. But if you know someone who knows anything...

    Great Park Neighborhoods

    Wow, most of them are 2200+ sq ft SFRs. No attached condo and apartment craps like IP built communities. Maybe this will be "A" class village.

    OMG! SG is on their itinerary now? I better grab IP brochures and start selling it to them.  Or take some group photo shots in front of the model homes for money. Need extra money to do landscaping now.

    Starting Landscaping - Rare Earth Systems

    Thanks for sharing info on landscaper. He came by, and I had a long talk with him.  He told me he'll come back next day for measurement, but never did.  I guess he's not interested working on my yard.  This is the trend for me.  Two guys told me they'll come back with design and estimate, but...

    La Cresta at Woodbury

    What's "enclosed kitchen"? A meth lab for Irvine drug cartel? Two kitchens are not enough that somebody need to have a third one? Master foyer on Plan 2 can be interesting or waste of space. Hidden shower and dry off area inside master bath for Plan 3 are nice. I guess Brookfield doesn't...

    Upcoming Neighborhoods at Stonegate

    I'm glad too, but the exterior looks just like Maricopa. And for 1m, I expect to see some stonework on the facade. They're just as greedy as TIC. But it's good that at least SG is getting 3000 sft homes, not another condo (attached or detached). The swimming pools are getting crowed with small kids.

    Portola Springs new home sites

    I thought there was nothing "above" Lambert Ranch. I would think this is on the other side of Lambert hill, so you get a nice view of 241 and landfill?
