just stumbled on this re: rich Chinese female in Vancouver - seems slightly relevant. my wife has a few Chinese clients escaping Vancouver because they are being priced out (yep) so they are now considering a more "affordable" Irvine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFJBgsr939c

looking into it more.. could be these (bottom right) might be Celadon by William Lyon then.

i think you meant FCB = foreign cash buyer as for FOB.. that's just fresh off the boat (eg new immigrant)

this thread here has some more info. i saw those and i think you're looking at the lennar triplexes.

Redfin often tout their estimate being more accurate than all others. May want to check out the value there vs Zillow.

its definitely not in the PP ones since that was way back (though it seems this was approved in 2014 so...) i'm almost certain I read through the disclosure report with a fine-toothed-comb in the BP ones but I may have missed this. *shrug* not a real big deal to me personally - was just...

wanted to bump this since i'm starting to wonder more about this water and wellness park. quite a few pools/amenities there. not sure how I'll feel if I'm a BP resident and there's an outdoor amphitheater nearby. can anyone clarify if its an irvine community park, or a park specifically for...

had to dig up landofnod's site again and he posted some grainy image of the MR. good info there on parasol park and other districts in Great Park. looks like it'll be expensive as F. i'm not sure how ppl can afford these... our household does OK and I'll still be wary of these pricing seems...

drove past Parasol Park (or whatever it'll be called) yesterday as I went through ridge valley to get to PP looks like they're starting work on some models. i see frames up already for one development. based on the map above by Inc, I'd say its either Laterns by Lennar or Celadon by William...

i was told that it was for sound/energy but i was skeptical of both benefit. thanks for letting me know maybe someone that has forked over the money for it can chime in. i can see how it may benefit with a smaller sq ft home where noise easily travels/spread thru the home. i sure as heck hear...

i have never seen anyone bought a home because it has extra insulation in. also, isn't it between the walls and not the floors? petaluma isn't a huge home with huge energy cost. i can't imagine the extra benefit you'll get from 2k into this option (of which you'll be paying property tax on...

completely agree. anyone buying a investment property banking on appreciation is taking quite a bit of risk. not to make OP sweat on this some more or add negativity to it. if OP is breaking even or close to it then I'd understand.. but OP if you bought a half a million tri-level condo in...

there was this piece on this just recently. I'd imagine TIC will be doing it for all future village too, since it sounds like eastwood has it http://www.globest.com/sites/davidphillips/2016/08/02/google-fiber-coming-to-irvine/?slreturn=20160703025844 IRVINE, CA?In partnership with The Irvine...

think you missed my reply above but ours is nash + rooftop + driveway. I'm seeing ranges for the homes in the area (ellwood included) in the $450~$460 sq/ft range. 154 is what.. $420 per sq/ft?

yep- worked through it and opening escrow now. even after caps gain it'll be an okay return given we closed on the home in march. so we'll see how it goes.

I'm not sure about the new vs resale thing. anecdote but every client my wife has taken are preferring resale vs new. here are some valid reason and mindset to ponder on: time frame, they can't wait for a build out cuz they need the money moving now and not later. they're leaving the country...

the tuscan elevations are always nice. wonder will most ppl go with formal dining room or an office for plan 3

you know thats why we decided to sell it vs waiting for family situation to resolve. take whatever equity build up since signing for the home and run before a crash (158 is probably doing the same thing). guess we're now left holding the bag, so to speak. if the crash happens, i hope its not...

you'd think so and objectively ill agree too (what's 50k diff at this price point). i think had RAH were more flexible with the price they would have already sold it.. vs now being forced to reduce further. although for some interested in the home, they're probably looking at the floors and if...

ours is a nash with driveway + rooftop honestly you should price it out with your realtor's suggestion/comparables in mind, with the upgrades you know you've spent into the home and market rate. i think 154 is really putting a hamper on it, but if 158 is sold by the time you're thinking of...
