I thought it was going to be a market as well.

I guess i'm lazy. I say it so I don't have to post again to say "thanks".

Maybe I missed it but why is the cemetary an environmental factor? Thanks in advance.

I don't think that was an option when i picked out flooring.  Thanks you for the tip though.

Getting wood tile done and plan on sealing the grout lines with 511 porous plus. However, I was wondering if I need to seal the wood tile as well or just do the grout lines?  Also, how much sealer do I need to get? Home is about 1,400 sq feet and wood tile is in most of the house except the...

All, Builder just called and scheduled an appointment for an "open wall orientation". I'm assuming that they are just showing us the completed frame/structure but wanted to know if anyone on here knows what else is included. Should I be on the lookout for anything while I am going through the...

Sorry if this has been talked about before but will there be or is there any kind of shopping/fast food/restaurants in Portola Springs? The closest shopping center I can think of is on Irvine blvd. and Sand Canyon. If I take a right onto Portola from Sand Canyon, I don't recall seeing any kind...

Good info as well. Thank you. I wonder if this pushes some closings past the max delivery date (I think 9 months from contract date) as stated on the purchase contract? Would that allow people to walk about from contract?

I was wondering what effect the rain we had in the last month as well as the large storm expected this weekend will have on the homes currently in construction. For example, is the wood for the frame treated to handle a constant rain What about the constant rain on exposed foundations? I'm sure...

For those on the waiting list at Avalon at Eastwood Village, I just wanted to provide some info. As of yesterday, they had 1 plan 1(phase 15) available at $520,000 but it is along Irvine blvd. Also, they mentioned that phases 16 and 17 will be released soon. It appears that Phase 16 will also be...

I was just thinking that most contracts have the financing contingency where if the buyer cannot obtain financing, the agreement is usually terminated and deposit is refunded back to buyer. But what if the appraisal comes in low? Say the home takes a few months to build and the real estate...

Hi all, I was looking at options and was wondering if the upgrade, which cost about $950 for all standard cabinets/drawers, is worth it.  I know it is something that my wife would like to have but was wondering what everyone else's opinion is. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Looks like the value adjustment is priceless. Seems like no one would consider a tandem garage and I understand why. With that being said, for those that park their extra car/cars outside, how much grief/hassle does your HOA give you? Is it something they can...

Was also considering the Vine at Portola.

Thank you for the advice. We are on the waiting list for plan 1 at Avalon but current pricing and subsequent phase pricing (assuming pricing increase per phase) appear to be more than our perceived value of the plan. So we will probably pass on the plan once/if we get the call. We were just...

Hahaha, seems to be true from what I have seen. On a related note, how many people have had trouble from their HOA about parking your car in the street instead of garage?

Was chatting with my wife today and we were comparing tandem vs. 2-car side-by-side and we were wondering what kind of adjustment an appraiser (in the Irvine marketplace) would give to the tandem garage. I would think $5-10k but could be way off. For example, if an appraiser were to compare two...

Not sure about the substitution of the cupboards from plan 3 to plan 2 but I believe you can customize the cupboard color/shade when you purchase it. Anticipated base tax rate is 1.0035% annually CFD's 86-1 and 09-1 are ~$1,700 annually Assessment district AD 04-20 ~$1,966 annually. This is...

Shawna, sorry. I was talking about the vine at portola springs

Oh wow i was in your shoes last year at the same time and ended up buying the 3 story willow, how much are they asking now to sell a 1600 sq ft attached condo? ~$620k for a 2 bedroom 2 bath attached condo with living space on 2nd floor but I can't justify that price when Brio is 3 bedroom/2...
