I had a coworker who lived in RSM (moved to Colorado now). He lived his whole life until now in Orange County. He loved it in RSM and said the schools were good, the neighbors are very friendly (they all actually knew each other.) and to go to the spectrum, etc. it was not a long drive. He...

Rancho Grande is pretty nice. We actually had an offer on a house there but the sellers (maybe influenced by agent) were asking way more than the property was worth and were not willing to budge or have a true negotiation to get to a deal. It is still on the market the last time I checked a...

Why do all the homes that have been vacant for some time all smell the same when you go inside? It does not matter what city you are in or what materials the floor is made of (wood, tile, carpet, etc.). I have been in some recently unshadowed inventory that has been vacant for several months...

Is the summer bump wave cresting? http://lansner.freedomblogging.com/2009/08/14/oc-home-price-leveling-off-at-425000/33757/

What are peoples thoughts of Laguna Niguel? I know there are different 'communities' in Laguna Niguel such as Bear Brand, Laguna Heights, Rancho Niguel. Specifically what do people think of <strong>Bear Brand</strong>, <strong>San Joaquin Hills</strong> and <strong>Rancho Niguel</strong>?

So, I know that we have three general 30 year fixed products right now. 1) Conforming (max $417K) 2) Jumbo Conforming (max $621K?) 3) Jumbo (sky is the limit) The jumbo conforming is from something the government passed to help high value areas not collapse. Is this 'program'...

Yea, we have been looking for 400-500 Sq. Ft. less for the same price in Aliso than Ladera but nothing worth beans comes up. I see tons of P's and A's for Aliso on the Foreclosure Radar site but nothing 'right priced' in Aliso right now. Just some people wanting WTF prices which is why their...

Hi Joe, That is the impression I got as well regarding 'stage of life'. In addition to that, I am just really concerned about Ladera Pricing since it was basically built during the bubble so there is no 'baseline' to see how it will perform price wise against other communities during a...

I am also considering Laguna Niguel. If given the choice, would you rather live in Ladera or Laguna Niguel?

Yea. I know time will most likely open up more properties and lower prices. I just dont want to wait too long since I have to have a home for my family. Funny you should mention relocations to find a deal. I found a Ladera home that is being sold by a management company and they are selling...

I found one I am eyeballing that is just a touch under 3000 sq. ft. Nice floorplan, fully loaded with pergranteel and has a decent view (well it seems as if 40% of Ladera has a view of something). They are asking in the 785K range and it did sell for a bit over a million at the bubble peak. I...

Well, I am moving out of Irvine and looking in the Ladera Ranch area. Hou much should I expect to pay for a 2800-3000sq. ft. 4-5 bedroom home there (not in the gated areas). I know very little about Ladera other than it is a very kid friendly community which I want (two kids), the schools are...

Nice houses, sizeable mello roos, no real association amenities (pool, tennis courts, etc) although a 'city' central amenity area is being developed. I was looking that way for a while and it is not bad but there is barely anything available and people overbid for what is left. I believe...

My son goes to WP Montessori and I absolutely love it. They do have a very long waiting list (3+ years) so you need to get on the list as soon as you find out you are pregnant (earliest they will put you on the list). Don't give up and call them once every 3-4 months for status. While...
