Seems like only one of these can be taken seriously. The property on Misty Sky never had landscaping . . . my guess is that these sellers are just testing the market . . . and I think the other one with the double staircase may still be held by the builder.  Can't believe people are trying to...

This home was actually purchased over a year ago, so the seller is in the clear. My guess is that the seller is probably into this home about $3.1M after landscaping and post-closing finishes. With limited if any structural upgrades, I'm thinking $3.5M may actually be about right for this...

So sad to hear about this.  I can't imagine what it must have been like for the parents to be there as witnesses to the accident.  My prayers go out to them.

These look to be a bit bigger than the HC homes on average.  pricing will likely be in the low $3,000,000s for any lots with a view. But I guess this is still a bargain compared to La Vita plan 4.

I would agree-- $4M is not going to be benchmark pricing.  But I think you are looking at $3.25M+ for anything on the view side of the street or with a large premium lot. As pointed out above, this is basically the cost of a Capri home now after accounting for upgrades and landscaping. 

$4M sale price for the first and lowest-priced model!  Would have been hard to imagine this when Laguna Altura opened across the street in 2011 and my clients balked at the $595K prices in Siena.

I worked with Jeff Blaxland at HomeFirst Mortgage Bankers in Irvine on my last loan.  I kind of wrote him off after being referred by a relative, but he ended up beating both CashCall and WellsFargo.  3.00% on a 30 year fixed after a small buy-down on the rate.  If anyone's interested, his...

Any idea what the homes are selling for on the street with the models?  I saw they just opened up a few of those homes for sale this weekend.

Strange. Could have been worth close to this price if the seller had an awesome yard and finished the home properly. In its current state, I don't think this house will move at any price given the other quick move in homes available from the builder.

This is really not out of line with comps.

Last phase sold out so quick because those were desirable lots. RHOC is correct that there are other lots (not in the last phase) that are still available. 

I have to admit that's pretty grand for $5.4m.  But I can still see why someone would opt for the view lot in HC over this without a view. For me personally, I'd probably opt for a smaller ocean view home on a smaller lot further down the coast for less.

I couldn't fathom how someone just paid $4.5m for lot 146 (this will likely be $5m+ all in). Then I visited the lot.  You really have to see this in person to appreciate it.  It must be half an acre and it's got panoramic views everywhere you look. It's pretty unique.  The equivalent lot size in...

80%+ of the owners in HC that I have met are from other irvine and coastal communities. I've met people from quail hill, Woodbury, orchard hills, turtle ridge, shady canyon, laguna altura, and even from newport coast. It's actually a pretty diverse group.  Frankly, I think the chinese money is...

We just had beams put in our place after closing.  We are generally really happy with the work . . . I'd be happy to pass along my contractor's info if you'd like.

I think there is probably some room on the homes on less desirable lots . . . but I don't know if I would call the builder desperate.  By my count, TB has sold somewhere around $500M in this project alone over the last year and a half.  Even if they took another two years to sell out the...

Totally agree. I feel like demand is down for less desirable lots. But for the larger view and non view lots, demand is still strong. Several homes have sold rather quickly at a base price above $3m in the last few months in Capri. And many more have sold at this level in Marbella. Just depends...

The potential for this community will depend heavily on the architects Toll chooses.  In HC, I think KTGY did a much better job than Bassenian Lagoni on their respective portion of the community.  Bassenian Lagoni basically produced a mash-up of their work in Laguna Altura with certain vintage...

I think they are adjusting the co-op up to be more competitive with other new home communities.  On a percentage basis the old co-op was just too low given the price point of the properties.  As a side note, I remember representing a buyer in Toscana across the street in 2012 and the Toscana...

I can say from personal experience as a prior owner and a broker on multiple transactions in LA, that there are a lot of misconceptions about this community.  LA has a ton of young families and a lot fewer foreign investors that people think.  When we sold our home, all of the buyer interest was...
