    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    This is Barcelona by IP. Crazy as it may sound, these were selling at the low 1 million (~1.2 M) around the May time frame of last year when I was looking. I believe this area has a shortage of SFR and detached condos, as most of the residential offerings around the Spectrum mall are rental...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    I think I can reconcile between your account of events and Met?s. Basically, the sales office will honor the priority list, however, these lists have a way of getting very long with time and outdated. Internally, they will have to update their list based on how engaged the prospective buyer is...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Most of the extension lots are 3900 sqft, but there will be a handful with a much larger size, in which case a conservatory should be an obvious choice. They are offering plan 1 for $1.52M, plan 2 for 1.744M (price includes optional conservatory), and plan 3 for 1.762 M. Seems like plan 2 is...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    I don?t think this has to do with the buyers preference or anything like it. The majority of the Fresco extension lots (starting phase 12) are about ~1000 sqft smaller than most lots on Abalone and Parakeet. With a setback of 5 ft on the new lots you barely get a shoulder?s width for a backyard...

    IP new build delayed one month

    Check your contract. You?ll see IP has given themselves a full year of leeway in case construction gets delayed at no penalty to them. And up to 2 years if you choose to stick with them and not withdraw the deposit and void the contract, in which case you can ask for some type of restitution to...

    Inspection on new construction

    And how do you suggest we ask them to address the issues the inspector musters up in his report if they don?t allow pre-dry wall inspections in the first place  :D

    Inspection on new construction

    Did you ask how they can enforce it? Is it written in the contract?

    Loan with the builder?

    Thanks. I haven?t actually tried with the builder lender. BOA said they would charge a 0.5 percentage point fee for a 180-day lock of current market low rate but it can?t float down. Also, if it expires I need to pay another fee to renew. This is why it?s not entirely obvious to me I should go...

    Loan with the builder?

    Do you mind sharing how much they charged for the 6-month rate lock, and if the rate floats down? I am assuming you purchased a new build and hence the longer closing timeline. I am in a similar situation and just wasn?t sure how to manage the uncertainty regarding the closing date. Since it?s a...
