    Irvine: TOO MANY stuck up neighbors!!!

    OK... I've gotten my second "parking violation warning" from IPD in 6 months. I came home from dinner last night, at midnight, and today, at 1pm, i see this orange parking violation envelope on my window. Apparently one of my neighbors, I don't know who, told IPD that I've been parked in front...

    Less market activity these days, and my current "score"

    <p>So I'm still in the passive search for a home, but lately it hasn't been a big priority of mine because I've set my backup plan in motion. As some may remember one of the reasons for my home search is to take tax deduction on planned income, and more importantly the predicted cash flow after...

    <p>When you drive up, the neighborhood is a dump (for irvine standards, irvine housing blog,etc)</p> <p>As you drive into the gated community, the exterior looks to have a fresh coat of paint. But sidewalks, landscaping, etc are all older.</p> <p>The "model home" was fully upgraded. Looks...

    15 townhomes in Costa Mesa all in "The Village at Admiral Way" up for auction

    Went to see the property today... Its pretty sad. The remodeling imo consists of spraying the exterior and interior (for some units). Some units have new fixtures and appliances, while others have 30 yr old equipment. If the home sells for $400k then its OK deal, but if it sells for 500k and...

    T-minus ? until Countrywide goes under.. . .

    I wonder how hard it is to calculate how much banks are really losing... $$ loaned out, multiply by % repos , minus % loss per repo home, add % interest earned on non-repo, subtract cost of money they loaned homes.

    FS Homes bunched together?

    sportsfan8, thats precisely my question! Way too many homes being sold in the same neighborhood to be a coincidence... On Redfin, Alevera street is just NUTS.. Or... Danbury in Oak Creek. Or... Seasons in Quail hill. (Those 3BR Condos) Still trying to figure out why they do that...

    Yikes! My TV broke...

    LCD has a higher resolution than Plasma... You can get 1080P with LCD, and Plasma is only 768.. But plasma is definitely cheaper. Check out the Vizio TV's at costco, they are dirt cheap... 42" for $1200 and 47" for $1700 1080P with a 90-day guarantee.

    FS Homes bunched together?

    Quick question. I've been noticing more and more, that for sale homes are usually bunched together in a concentrated mass. Is there a clear cut reason to this or is it a coincidence? The locations are... Alevera St in Oak Creek, Danbury in Oak Creek... Unusually high concentrations. And then...

    Air Traffic around Columbus Square

    <p>Commercial aircraft landing at SNA is generally lined up with 55 during a normal final approach. From VOC it is close enough to see the planes, but far enough for you to not hear it. VOC isn't under the direct flight path but sometimes general aviation planes may fly over here and there...

    How to Reduce Selling Price of New Homes.

    <p>Whats the deal with VOC? I didn't know who won the land auction a few years back, but these are not TIC owned? I couldn't have guessed, but then I never did any research in this project. But I think that the housing price in VOC doesn't paint 100% of the picture in this case because in...

    <p>Awgee/irvine123 thanks for your advice no offense taken whatsoever. </p> <p>Just trying to understand the market, business is business, money is money, and I don't get "attached" to a home. It either suits me (price/layout) or it doesn't. This market is quite transparent to me the way its...
