I used this strategy also: list all bank accounts, retirement accounts, kids' college savings accounts, cash value life insurance, etc. to qualify under non-contingent status.  Then put your existing home on the market and get it sold.  Just beware that when you go this route you are fully...

Bad: Kitchen over bedroom...This is what you mean by bathroom toilet over kitchen stove right? One of our presumptive buyers told my agent they did not buy another home they looked at because of this.

I think as far as the feng shui if you extrapolate the street onto your property and it goes straight into the front door that is the worst; it's like all your money and good fortune heading straight out the door and down the street.  And extending to the driveway is also not good.  But if it's...

The T intersection thing is real. One of my good friends had trouble selling a model home that was on a T: several times on and off the market, and finally it sold. To whom? A caucasian family, even though most everyone who looked at it was Chinese. But I mean it was the model home and...

That's a interesting strategy but I thought the game cannot end on a defensive penalty? I think Clemson would have gotten an untimed down if the clock had  run out.  But at least at that point I think it would have forced Clemson into a FG if there was no time on the clock and an untimed down...

That would be a major hassle. I wonder if it cuts down on through traffic at all designing it that way, if it's not gated? I mean if it cuts down on through traffic that would be one benefit (ie. speeding traffic, kids playing outside in the street, car noise, etc.). But maybe not enough of a...

Very gutsy call. I don't think you make that call unless you have a qb the caliber of Deshaun Watson back there and a reliable O-line. That could have gone sideways quick if he clock ran out ie. got sacked, ran around too much, threw it up for grabs, etc.

Got it. Glad someone else in Irvine watches college football. A nice break from all the MR/HOA/FCB talk on TI.

Wow, what a game for the natty! Are those rub/pick routes that Clemson ran to free up their receivers on 2 TD passes even legal? I thought they were not.

To some extent you're right. But even before we had kids I always firmly believed that you want to purchase real estate where there are really good schools, and to a lesser extent infrastructure (parks, greenbelts, 'views', shops, restaurants, etc.). Quite simply school ranking has a lot to do...

Maybe based on list price, but it's possible the sales price could be higher (or lower). Also depends on upgrades, options, landscaping, etc. In some neighborhoods that can result in price differences of 200k or more between like models.

How much of the $9M property tax is mello? ;)

Could be strategic: list on the lower end of market value, get into a multiple offer scenario and bidding commences. Actually the market will allow water to seek it's own level ie. the price will be buoyed up to what it's worth. It is really easy to overprice a home, not so much to underprice...

SFR vs. detached townhome has been discussed on multiple threads. SFR will almost always appreciate more than detached townhomes. If appreciation is your goal, go with Cressa.

I think the reason that Toll Bros did that was because overall the lots in OH are much larger than HC. I have friends who moved to HC and some of those lots are tiny ie 4000+sq ft home on 5000 sq ft lot. I think the average lot size for Toll Bros in OH will be 10000 sq ft. There are some large...

Trojan nailed it, demand trumps all. My wife and I were sniffing around Hidden Canyon and they were so hot when they opened that they were essentially only accepting all-cash offers, not writing contracts for people buying with a mortgage.  Some poor bloke asked about being a contingent buyer...

Toll Brothers is building at Orchard Hills and I believe they are opening this month. The Alta Vista neighborhood will have a single story among the offerings. https://www.tollbrothers.com/luxury-homes-for-sale/California/Alta-Vista-at-Orchard-Hills

It all depends on demand. If they have enough people walking in and signing contracts without contingencies or even all cash then they wouldn't need to. But I think the market has softened a bit now so maybe it's possible. Never hurts to ask. But one big caveat is that the design center options...

This will increase your utilization ratio for your credit card(s) and will likely cause your FICO score to decrease.  This is the last thing you want to happen if you're going to be getting a mortgage on a home purchase.  I'd use good old-fashioned 'seasoned' funds from your own checking/savings...

I also used Vision Garage Flooring, very professional and I was very satisfied with the service and product. I made a point to do it before moving since I knew once we got our crap in there, game over...garage will need to be completely cleared of belongings at the beginning of the treatment...
