the OP asked about both places.

HC models are around 1K/sq ft based on the other thread.  not that this home is exactly model worthy.

they've been trying to move that home for at least four months as a quick move in.  last time i stopped by in november or so they were throwing in 250K in upgrades.

People always talk about wanting a large yard but the truth is that most irvine buyers place a premium on living space vs yard space.  Almost universally buyers choose the conservatory in new builds vs a california room.    An unupgraded cali room will essentially add nothing to your home's...

stopped by today as i was bored and couldn't do anything else after straining my back early in the morning. goriot correct 11/12 reserved at bella vista and 8/x reserved at alta vista per sales people.  prices from 1.95 to 2.7 including early phase lot premiums.

might go some time this week.  i think the deposit was only 5k and refundable so not a bad idea to drop the cash if you are even remotely interested.  still a good sign for orchard hills though i think.

agreed 100%.

Nope.  Have always paid right before 2nd date.

would something like that really be 75k?  all plants in front, mostly grass in back.  they got a fireplace and wall, and then some paving and trees.  i've never landscaped a home, but i hope that wouldn't really cost more than 35kish.  hopefully less.

gonna watch this thread for good info.

i agree they're all about the same, but plan 1 has that pantry that weirdly encroaches into the kitchen and dining on the first floor.  kitchen island becomes very small and dining room shrinks.  not ideal.

why is he an a$$hole?  if he lists for too high and can't sell it he can only hurt himself.  wont' affect anyone else.  maybe provide entertainment for the folks here that's it.

yup.

what better day to entice their target audience to buy a brand new home than chinese new year.

now THAT is a bomb diggity house.

though i do appreciate freeway proximity, i'd say most higher end communities (newport coast, shady, turtles) tend to be in the hills and away from freeways.  HC being the most glaring exception.  i also appreciate the proximity to the 261 entrance as i commute that way frequently. will...

Not bad.  Almost makes me wish i had waited just a bit longer.

a lay person may think 'oh that's a hospital they can do everything' but actually hospitals vary widely in their capability to handle certain medical conditions.  you cannot provide every possible sort of medical service at every single hospital as it would be financially unfeasible for both the...

i've worked at both hoag irvine and kaiser irvine.  neither are equipped to handle a serious trauma.  hoag irvine is only a 14 bed ER.  can't image the shock to the emergency staff when a critically injured 4 year old pulled up to the bay in a private vehicle. as everyone else has said in this...

people also believe a magic man in the sky can heal illnesses and control their fate if you talk to him every night and go to his house once a week.  who's to judge what anyone believes?  the point of this whole discussion is that people DO believe things, and it affects the real estate market.
