    Let's talk home prices

    Yeah, since it's all doom and gloom for anyone who graduated in the 2000s, just spend your money and keep stimulating the economy.  You were born at the wrong time.  J/k of course.

    Let's talk home prices

    Could've, would've, should've...who thinks about buying a place right after graduating from college?  It all about partying and having fun.  ;) You should try to max out your 401k each year, no doubt about it.

    Let's talk home prices

    You are doing the right things.  Maybe consider brown bagging the lunch every other day.  You will be surprised how much money you can save.  Best of luck.  You will eventually get there.  Just make sure when you do, you are still just as happy or happier than you are today.  :D

    Let's talk home prices

    Talyssa, Are you willing to buy a house and rent out the rooms?  That is another way younger people afford the high mortgage prices?  Five or ten years down the line the mortgage will seem more affordable due to inflation. Sonoma

    24 Hour Fitness Lakeshore Towers - What a mess!

    I had free a week pass to this gym a couple of years ago.  I was not happy with my experience.  I really wanted to like it, but it was awful.  I experienced a shortage of towels and  lockers.  It didn't feel very high end.  I actually thought the 24 at the Spectrum was nicer.

    Irvine-Corona Toll Tunnel scrapped.... boo-hoo.

    At least this will keep Irvine housing prices up.  ;)

    Quail Hill Comp Killer

    Maybe there were some liens on the house.  The bank will not pay for any unpaid HOA.  The banks will only pay for property tax.  I guess what I'm saying is these foreclosures/short sales sometimes have hidden cost associated.  Sometimes a shortsale seller will want you to buy all their...

    Gated communities in Irvine

    What is the point unless you are going to have some man the gates?  It is so easy to wait for another car to open the gate and follow them in.    ;)

    Carmel II

    Does that pocket park actually have a swimming pool?  In the image there is, however on the website, there is no mention that there will be a pool.

    Upgrading interior cabinets to Maple Melamine

    Well if they are putting this type of cabinet in million dollar homes then I feel bettter. O.T.  I really like how Sonoma exhaust fan lead the smoke to go outside rather than recycle back into the house.  :)

    Upgrading interior cabinets to Maple Melamine

    Well I'm happy if Jumpcut is happy.  ;D  I think the design center could have done a better job educating us.  I guess we have to live with our decisions.

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    I think that it does skew their preception.  However,  I think everyone would agree that their 2010 Home Collection was a major success.  I think TIC has only gotten stronger w/ pricing power after this.  The TIC runs a business similar to McDonalds.  If they have been selling Big Macs this...

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    I do know that if you don't own the land, then you are probably leasing the land.  If you are leasing the land, then the term of the lease is probably for 99 years.  And when that 99 years is up, I think you need to negotiate with the county for another 99 year lease.  So this won't affect your...

    New Home Inventory: Demand or Price?

    The things that irks me is that the Irvine Company knows exactly who their clientele is if you signed up for their 2010 New Home collection.  They basically made you do a full qualification to get on their priority list.  They know how much money you make, how much you have in savings, and...

    Upgrading interior cabinets to Maple Melamine

    We got Thermofoil.  To tell you the truth we thought plan 3 was thermofoil too.  I don't think the design center ever gave us a choice when we told her we wanted white cabinets.
