<p> Mendelssohn:</p> <p>That property on Prairie Grass in located in Shady Canyon.</p>

There is a nice one held in Big Bear. You can make it a cool weekend getaway. Seemed more traditional and classy than the Beerfest at Alpine Village.

<p>boomben:</p> <p>I am pretty much in the exact same situation. Which is why I have decided to wait.</p>

Well, If IR's predictions are close to accurate, appreciation will not be seen until 2015. It just may be worth it to appeal. If not in 2008, perhaps 2010?

As Mendelssohn pointed out, that's the kicker. When the values rise, you will be playing catch up. So, instead of the usual Prop.13 two percent, it can jump up whatever the current market value is.

Per Graph's advice, I researched it online and called the assessor's office. I was told (by a woman that sounded at least 90 years old) that this year's assessment was based on numbers taken from January 1, 2007. To that end, I decided to wait until 2008 (as values will surely decline further)...

<p>Effen...</p> <p>That is some kind of mistake. Aliso Viejo came into being in the late 80's. And AV certainly does have Mello-Roos. I'd bet it's in Laguna Hills. The Realtor (TM) thought Aliso Viejo would look better?</p>

Oh, and don't forget (mostly caucasian) middle aged women talking on cell phones driving 35 mph on the freeway.

<p>Blue:</p> <p>You are so right on about driving through the Leisure World Area. I lived in south county (pre 73 toll road) and Moulton Pkwy. was a good alternative to the 5 fwy. I learned a very important lesson: Be very careful driving on Moulton, especially when you can't see the driver's...

Consider the source...

bk...In stating...VOC, Ladera and Portola Springs will be the only places with new homes...are you implying or hypothesizing that Woodbury, Woodbury East should reach a sell out before 2010?

Congrats to you both.

<p>bk - Thanks again for the informative post. I, personally find this information more educational than some of the others. I mostly agree with you about Woodbury. Among many other issues, I too, never "felt right" when there. I can't say, however, the same about Portola Springs. To me, it has...

<p>Bk, you make an interesting point regarding arcitecture being pure and true to form. This is also an important element in interior design. That is, the interior should enhance and compliment the exterior. </p> <p>I know many of you dislike the Spanishy, Tuscanesque exteriors so prevalent in...

Good luck. I've been interviewing hard/softscape contractors for 2 months. The ones that seem really professional are outrageously expensive. The ones bidding at or near my budget are incapable of emailing the bid to me , and haven't learned of faxes yet (?). For example: the bids are 7- 8K for...

There's a new reality show on Bravo called "Flipping Out." I was expecting it to be another HGTV-esque type of thing. Well, no way. The specuvestor guy has an admitted OCD, is anally pefectionistic, consults with his personal psychic, treats his assistants like dirt, and a compellingly funny...

<p>To consider and research my options, could someone with MLS access please check the particulars (DOM, etc.) for MLS #S402228? This property is a very close comparable to mine. Thanx a bunch.</p>

<p>Pricing Update:</p> <p>Plan 1 - $710,000</p> <p>Plan 2 - $785,000</p> <p>Plan 2 - $845,000</p>

<p>Being one of the largest cities in OC, Huntington Beach offers much more diversity than Irvine. The surf culture is only a part of it. There are some very nice areas (92649 - which includes the harbour and environs) and some not so great (92647). Huntington Beach (IMO) has a nicer climate...

<p>Does anyone know of a good accountant for matters such as this?</p>
