    short sale duplex in newport beach

    Ok, this is in Newport Beach, but do you really want to live "BEHIND THE STRIP MALL (JACK N BOX ETC)"? I have a friend who used to live next to a Jack in the Box in Belmont Shores and if they had their windows open at night they could hear the drunk people ordering jumbo jacks in the drive...

    This was delisted yesterday, which probably means they are in negotiations with the finalists in the bidding war. If anyone submitted a bid and/or has any information on this situation please let us know!

    Prices in Newport Beach have to fall

    How about Harbor View aka the Port Streets? It's always seemed to me that relatively "normal" wage earners live in this area because of Anderson Elementary and the family focus, etc., and the old money/big money folks want to live elsewhere in Newport and have a view or be closer to the ocean...

    $249/sft 5br/3.75ba in Woodbridge

    This will be an interesting one to watch. My prediction is that they receive many high bids well over $1 million but when the winning bidder does a home inspection and finds out all that is wrong with the pool, the roof, the kitchen cabinets, etc. they will drop out since they have no room to...

    Qualifying for loan when you haven't sold or rented your existing home

    I just thought I'd share my recent experience applying for a mortgage in case anyone else is in the same situation. We currently own a home in Irvine and have been looking at buying another home, so we went through the process of submitting our financial information to our loan guy at Bank of...

    land leases or purchases?

    I own a home in Irvine and it is not on leased land, and I've never heard anyone mention land leases at any of the homes we have looked at in many villages of Irvine. The only area I know where land leases still exist is in the UCI area - there is a house on Harvey Court that has been for sale...

    Flipper in Woodbridge? 11 Laurelglen pops up again.

    I actually got a call back from the agent/owner yesterday. He said the short sale "never happenned" and that his company was able to buy it at a trustee sale. Sounds strange to me - why would the bank or trustee take $690,000 vs. the $750,000+ that they could have fetched by selling to one of...

    Flipper in Woodbridge? 11 Laurelglen pops up again.

    I just saw a listing pop up that looked familiar. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/11-Laurelglen-92614/home/4697345 11 Laurelglen was listed at around $750,000 about 2 months ago - it was a short sale. The traffic in the open house was impressive due to the low price (for the neighborhood)...

    Interesting/Amusing Property Finds

    I just ran across this $10 million listing in the Newport Back Bay/Santa Ana Heights area. Granted, this is a very unique large lot right on the Back Bay (look out for those airplanes above!), but the real estate agent included the following text in the listing which I found amusing: "The...

    newbi looking to relocate around Irvine

    We live in the Woodbridge village in Irvine and there is a group of French ex-pats who live nearby. My wife was raised in Europe and speaks several languages including French, so she ran in to them at Springacre park where they seem to have a group playing volleyball every evening. It?s pretty...
