Definitely stay away from Monster cable at ALL costs, they're 10x as bad as TIC when it comes to pricing.  If Monster were building homes, they'd be priced at $1500 a square foot, and they'd say your home comes with Oxygen Free Copper Romex, OFC Pipes, and other marketing BS.

That lower horizontal stud doesn't seem too straight or sturdy, simply toe-nailed into the side.  However, the upper bracket looks far sturdier.  For an LCD either should be fine versus a much heavier plasma. +1 on monoprice, great cables, just beware on longer 20+ ft cable could have some...

Site down?

Definitely a horrible location for "premium" lots.  "G" street does seem to face the new cell site, which based on google maps isn't just a singular "tower" or palm tree, but a darn forrest of cell towers (see attached jpg).  There's seems to be three major cell site operators here.  Good news...

Buying new seems to far easier to plan when you have a home to sell.  Pick a floorplan, a lot, some upgrades and 4-6 months later you'll have your move-in date.  In the mean time, you have that much time to put your home on the market and sell.  Moving twice is sooo inconvenient, but is far less...

ha!  I didn't know she lives in Columbus Grove.. her home is right off Harvard.  Seriously, I can't these shows, they are all fake, and there are no FCB'ers in there, you know the ones with the real money. 

We're looking at resales with larger lots.  2011 homes for us have too small lot sizes, high mello roos, and are priced too high.  We don't need a huge lot, but do want more privacy.  When your yard is only 15 feet deep and your neighbor is another 15feet away, that's just 30 feet away from...

True, but Culver and Jamboree have more traffic than the tollraod.

What is up with Tri-Star Realty and Carl Wuestehube?  Seem like he's a paid-for proxy MLS lister?  It's like a FSBO but on MLS?  Wouldn't that be somewhat against the rules to be on MLS as an agent representing a property, but then have no fiduciary responsibilities on representation?  Seems...

Yes, you can chose other elementary schools, but it may end up being Greentree, Deerfield, or some other school that has availability.  There are pros and cons to this.  One con is middle schools and high schools are not based on which elementary school you came from but where your residence...

They also have 27 rolling green listed , but it looks like you need to be logged into Redfin to see it. 

Hi bookworm, If you live in Stonegate then that's your assigned elementary school, no lottery for you.  But since Irvine allows other neighborhoods to attend other elementary schools, it was usually based on class size and availability.  Now that stonegate is being built out they are limiting...

That's a good point, the $625K jumbo conforming limit reduction is supposedly in effect on Oct 1 (unless extended).  So for the homebuyers that need the 729K limit, they'd have to close on or before Oct 1st?  Otherwise anything after that would be private market jumbo rates, unless they reduced...

More than 30 days on market and still not selling... gee I wonder why.  Maybe now that Stonegate elementary is on lottery has a factor.  WB Elementary has had very mixed reviews and for some that could be a deciding factor.

Wow.. sales must suck... the word now must be patient and wait it out for Irvine Pacific to dish out more incentives and lower their price... It's on redfin now... http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/27-Rolling-Grn-92620/home/39930322

On the flip side, this house http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/23-Woodhaven-Ln-92620/home/4790132 was sooo oddly remodeled, that the wife and I *HAD* to see the open house yesterday. Redfin had the prior listing when owners bought still available (click on the price/listing history area) and the...

We toured and liked Maricopa Plan 3, until I saw through the dining / kitchen windows and saw the "depth" of the rear yard.  I had to chuckle as it was like maybe 8-10ft deep.  On the side yard where the fireplace sticks out on the wall I pointed my laser measuring tape and it was 69" to the...

We like northwood pointe.  They use a lot of craftsmen / arts & crafts style architecture that I like.  The neighborhoods also seem much more quaint and less crowded.  The mature landscape and the fact that the homes are larger lots than what you'll see in WB or SG makes NPe feel much less...

VoC (both Square and Grove) had MR subject to 2% increases based on CPI.  When we look at Ciara in Columbus Grove looong time ago, I said no effin way with $9,000 in MR.  Seriously what did they do that needed that much in infrastructure.  A nieghbor of mine moved into the community and he...

All I can find is that it is a REO, it may be coming on to the market..  It sold back to the bank on 6/22/10 for 1.251M.
