    It was all you stupid sheeple who can't wait and have no patient and must be first in line to sign up for the pre=qualification to the slaughter house and talked about it here at TI that how unlucky you were by signing up too late at 9:01 am. That gave the developer the assuring signal to raise...

    Montecito / Sonoma / Carmel Pricing

    This is the benefit of of master planning by minipulating schedules. Build the impressive things first and and build the negative things last after residents had all moved in. An affordable project will always be built last in a community eventhough the exterior will be the same quality and...

    Montecito / Sonoma / Carmel Pricing

    it is much more complicated than forcing a table between the living and kitchen. The TV wall is the back of a 20' wide garage and the window to the yard behind the couch is centered on the garage wall. Furnishing would be too awkward if reduced by not relating to the window. Dining area would be...

    Other than window conflicts the plan 2 and 3 are about the best plans of the entire 2010 Collection. The models are deceiving because the front doors face a park where many production units face each other along a mew. Monterey location is questionable because of the water tank. In 1998 a Water...

    Happy Chinese New Years

    Lucky me then because you were out enjoying hot pot and not being home to answer the bell. I went into my office yesterday to finish a WE analysis that I promised a TI member so I missed the beer fairy too. The restaurants in SGV were insanely busy on Saturday when I went and Sunday was a lot...

    Take the Monterey program and make them all detached homes below the Coronado segmentation. Price them at the low 500's. That is the biggest segment of the market.

    I ordered one San Disk from Amazon and it arrived today in a huge box big enough for 2 cases of sodas. It reminds me of 2010 Collection.

    Happy Chinese New Years

    I want to thank Irvine Realtor for the surprise visit to Floral Park yesterday to drop off a Chinese New year and Valentines Day goodie bag. He has been paying a lot of attention to the Chinese culture. The Oranges have the stem and leaves attached to them. ( Has anyone seen a realtor snooping...

    Montecito / Sonoma / Carmel Pricing

    At $1m this is the discretionary buyer and not a "I need a shelter so Sook Yee can go to an Irvine school by Fall" type of buyer. The buyers of Carmel will want the status symbol associated with the exterior that they can show off like a LV, Chanel or hermes handbag. The exterior of Carmel...

    Carmel at 3,000 sf it only accomplished a 4/4? At 3,000 sf there should be a great /family room with formal living and dining even though buyers do not need them today according to the surveys. There should also be a bonus room, a loffice, and a 5th bedroom that can convert to a guest or...

    Montecito / Sonoma / Carmel Pricing

    Nice observation IHO. The foyer is very important as a point of arrival. Most homes I saw did not accomplish the foyer experience. From Coronado to Carmel it felt like I just walked into an oversized apartment. Sonoma plans have a nicer interior foyer experience than all others but I can't get...
