    Villa Rosa open

    Where does Lennar find these people? Didn't anyone read the Los Angeles Times business section today? It says, "State's jobless rate surges!"

    Villa Rosa open

    All that I can say is that Villa Rosa's inability to come down a little more, say 5-6%, was enough to make me decide against seriously considering a purchase at this time... although I do want to buy... and I really like both Woodbury and that model 2B.

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Grove - Lantana

    I'd be more concerned about living under high-power lines (most especially with young children). I'd live no closer than 800 meters away.... which places many of the VoC homes in range of those massive power towers running east-west on Harvard. And no, I don't wear a tinfoil hat.

    How Desperate are the Homebuilders?

    Quit, or were fired? or were "forced out"? I keep waiting for Lennar's internet conference call next week to see how they justify their actions...

    Where do you get your furniture?

    While this might be "beneath" some of the folks here, I will confess that when I first bought my condo, I was playing attorney by day, and Pottery-Barn stock associate by night - just for a couple months during a seasonal period. I bought just about all of my furniture there! And as an...

    DOW down another 300 points and Larry Kudlow is still in denial!

    I really like the chair in the photo above... It would be great in my home office/study...maybe he will sell it to me when he gets soaked in the market...

    Villa Rosa open

    After receiving an e-mail, I discovered that Phase 5 of Lennar's Villa Rosa is finally being released this weekend... and to my overwhelming disappointment, at the same prices as the last phase. Moreover, there are no incentives... other than a paltry 6K for using their lender...I am so...

    Villa Rosa open

    IR - Thanks for the response! Do you mean to suggest that a "realistic price" will be a function of volume/days on market? I've been trying to gauge just how much "languishing" exists in certain SFR developments. Take Lantara/Alexandria/Westborne in Voc... way over-priced earlier... followed...

    Villa Rosa open

    I've seen several comments that $250/sq. foot is a reasonable cost for a home in Irvine. I've even seen some posts suggesting a lower value. Wow. Presently I am "obsessing" over one of the villa rosa homes... It appears that these homes sold for 390ish/sq. foot in the initial phases (at the...

    Shutdown the IHB? Is she nuts? What's the story?

    I'd like to have more of truthiness! Not that I really agree with (her?) The more the merrier on this blog.

    Happy New Year from John Laing Homes

    oh, I wish you had included a link to the new web-site! Now I may never find the perfect home. So much for making this a memorable year. =(

    How Desperate are the Homebuilders?

    I was looking at Lennar's stock performance since 2005... looks like investors took a beating...stock went from the 70's to low-teens in 2007! Yikes.

    Villa Rosa open

    For everyone's information: It appears that Lennar has "pushed back" the release of the next phase another week or so... and it is expected that the prices will remain much the same.

    changing in contract

    Believe it or not, it probably is good news in the long run. I'm glad that you were able to cut the loss before it got too crazy. And besides, you'll be 10x more prepared the next time around - when prices will likely be more favorable.

    changing in contract

    who says buying a home isn't emotional? Wow! I'd keep some perspective on this deal... it seems like you are arguing over less than 1% of the transaction? What will you do if prices get reduced this fall, say, 25-30K? Run back to the builder and complain? Are you going to do one of those...

    Villa Rosa open

    I agree that "model 1" is simpy a bad design... I'd personally go for the cheapest model 2 or 3...if you can call that "cheap!"

    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    I'm not sure who was more prepared to appear in a debate. Stockdale or Thompson. And I agree with Liz, McCain was smirking way too much...

    Villa Rosa open

    That is totally lame. A release of "5" houses? If Lennar doesn't have enough confidence in the market to release even 12 homes at once, I don't know how they can possibly be bullish on the market. Actions speak so much louder than words... the whole thing reaks of an expectation that the...
