I like discussing Irvine Real Estate and sometimes the things that are fun to do in and around Irvine. To answer some valid points first: 1. If an analytical and link-free approach to this forum is what is most appreciated, that is an easy adjustment to make. 2. In my opinion, Stonegate and...

That's not a bad idea, Marty, but since our purpose is for subjective discussion about individual preference, we'd prefer to make even the decision of "to click or not to click" for more information up the participant. In other words, a visceral reaction more so than an analytical one is welcome...

Well, not LITERALLY floating... ;) but I think there will be a few more worse-than-expected economic indications which should lower mortgage rates a bit more, akin or better than the drop we saw on Monday. If not Friday's Employment report, certainly other indicators through the month of...

Whoops, yes, fixed that. Thanks Unicorn Hunter, our favorite 3 car garage advocate.http://www.valueoc.com/irvine-fantasy-real-estate-village-edition-feb-5/

One more Irvine Fantasy Real Estate for the week! With all expenses paid, which of these four similarly priced recent Irvine listings, each in a different village, would you purchase and why?http://www.valueoc.com/irvine-fantasy-real-estate-village-edition-feb-5/

Quail Hill is a the village we tend to recommend when given similar choices, especially given the extra half bath.

With a budget of $500,000 and selecting between four recent Irvine listings, which one would you choose and why?http://www.valueoc.com/irvine-fantasy-real-estate-budget-edition-feb-4/

A fascinating piece of data, thank you for posting this! The relationship with China (both its government and its individual citizens) with the United States and the 'rest of the west' is a powerful emerging global drama, especially by way of Canada, eh?

I feel like I received some pretty decent training for observing and anticipating market trends, having been raised at the horse track and having my father teach me how to handicap a horse race by the age of five. The similarities are staggering. I'm a day late mentioning the blog I published...

Without trying to sound overly inclusive, I think all the observations mentioned so far in this thread have validity (okay, yes, that statement sounded like I was running for office I realize). From a purely subjective point of view, I notice that not only are we steadily doing a lot more open...

Open houses decreased in frequency, even in Irvine, during 2008 - 2010. They have been enjoying a steady resurgence since 2011, particularly in 2013.  We are glad to see their return to prominence, particular in the media/information age. :)

Thank you for the kind words! We were surprised to find no real "standout" events listed for this weekend relative to the Lunar/Chinese New Year, and it appears most events surrounding the holiday were during the week or during the previous weekend. Happy Year of the Horse, nonetheless!  :)

The era of the open house has returned, and we've picked our four favorite open houses in Irvine this weekend and invite you to review one, two, three, or all four of them (or an open house of your own choosing, for that...

We recently published our "weekend recommendations" blog, and I'd like to not only get feedback, but open up a discussion about things people like to do, or are planning to do, or have already done with their weekends in and around Irvine.http://www.valueoc.com/things-irvine-jan-31-weekend/
