I totally agree. Same thing here. The preferred lender charged $575 (we didn't end up going through them - long story). They just take a few pictures during construction to prove that they physically came to the property, then use the data from the price+upgrades along with the comps they used...

If you're gonna waste your money on organic and gluten-free food, might as well do it in Irvine! Kidding aside, they have an excellent meat selection.

The closer to Woodbury the better. CV is great up near Trabuco, but I can't understand why anyone would want to live much closer to the 5. Especially in the Mulberry extension for $1m+. The school/park/freeway combo will cause a lot of noise and traffic.

Huh? http://www.dailypilot.com/news/tn-dpt-me-0706-irvine-planning-commission-20140705,0,2845613.story "About 3,000 of Broadcom's more than 12,000 employees worldwide are based in Irvine. The new campus, expected to open in 2017, will ultimately accommodate about 8,000 employees."

Anyone with any recent experience with window washers? I want to get the exterior 2nd floor windows washed on a regular basis.

Looks like very few homeowners in Mulberry take care of their front yard. Do they realize it's their responsibility? There are huge weeds everywhere. Looks bad compared to Marigold and Magnolia.

This whole thread is an unnecessary duplicate. And if you look closely, you'll see that the one I posted is different than yours.

It's not hard to do a public records search. Everything is there.

Because you're worried about the resale value of the one you do like. You know, the whole point of this thread.

Buy a house that you like, and don't worry about resale unless you're a professional flipper. Everything is factored in when you resell. Hard to find any bargains in new construction. If a big yard important to you then you have many other options. If not, then you can buy in Irvine.

One thing i haven't seen mentioned is that if you go with the builder, they roll a majority of the cost of upgrades into your mortgage. That's huge, because you can pay it off over 30 years at historically low interest rates. Irvine Pacific rolled 75% of the cost of our upgrades into the...

This.

Most lenders won't lock a rate until 60 days out without points. Some will let you pay a few thousand extra for a float-down option - to reset your locked-in rate again at a later date. No one knows what rates will be in December. But they are very unlikely to rise significantly in the short...

That rant was epic! I hate our HOA company, PCM. The guidelines say that "trees must match the general look and feel of the community. Here are some examples..." Then I suggest a very similar tree, and my plans get rejected, saying I MUST pick from the following examples. WTF?

Who cares how many people have walked through? You really think you're going to catch some rare disease from them? Is the hardwood going to wear thin? I don't get it.

If it's always overvalued.....then is it ever really overvalued? I just consider it the price of weather/Disneyland/beach access. I mean, is the author suggesting we move to the most undervalued area, Detroit???

I'm new here - not quite sure how to do that. I'd rather not post it publicly.

Well it did sit vacant for a month after completing construction. Surprised it only went down $10k.
