    Northwood Knife Catcher

    <p>My co-worker lives in the neighborhood, and there's another house coming on the market a few houses down from this one on Rincon. Haven't seen it on MLS yet, recently upgraded too. </p> <p>He felt the one on Rincon should be about $885k. These houses should all be fairly similar.</p>...

    First Vacation to Hawaii

    Just quickly glanced through the posts, have been to Maui and Kauai. Wife and I would overwhelmingly prefer Kauai. A lot more natural, feel more at peace. Maui is a bit more commercialized.

    changing in contract

    <p>jbatz,</p> <p>based on your postings here, i'd guess you were rude to the folks at lennar.</p> <p>and for filings things with the BBB, it does not do anything. BBB has no authority and is sponsored by the merchants.</p>

    Microwaved Food Can Give You Cancer

    What's scarier is the imported food/meat/seafood. Almost all of the ginger and garlic sold at supermarkets is imported (mainly from China). I remember reading there were 21 agencies in China that can grant food "organic" status. However, only 1 of the certifications is internationally...

    Experience with Redfin

    <p>I've used BuySide (75% back) and have been very happy with them. I submitted 5 offers through them (none accepted - including short sales). They were doing business in CA before Redfin came along. I think they are both fairly equivalent. Most of the work to see properties will end up on...

    Losses Outside of Irvine

    <p>Fully agree w/ you acpme. The person I know who is the most happiest and loves what they do, went to CSUF. I (went to ucla) have friends that ended up at Stanford, UCB, MIT, etc. and are still searching for themselves. I think we put too much emphasis on the quality of schools, rather...

    JESSE JACKSON ANNOUNCES FORECLOSURE MARCH ON DECEMBER 10

    <p>I'm fairly liberal in my political views, but the oncoming governmental intervention is becoming nauseating. Jesse Jackson's show last night on Air America (1150 AM) covered the housing crisis. Countless number of folks calling in complaining about getting notices and threats of losing...

    Housing in Brea

    <p>irvinesinglemom,</p> <p>I think you're thinking of Olinda Ranch, off of Lambert and Valencia. Newer houses, lot size smaller than a parking space. </p> <p>rob,</p> <p>Brea is generally safe. I'd stay east of Puente. West becomes closer to La Habra and a little more suspect. Only...
