Great question... I'd love to know that as well.

What I don't get is why the market has gotten so crazy in the past few months? Inventories were low six months ago as well, weren't they?

That sounds so awesome! Where do I sign?!?!  ::)

For MR deduction, ambiguity is better than what I think they'll say  ;)

I'm also a CPA that doesn't specialize in taxes. It's not clear to me what local means... does it mean the sidewalk in front of my property? my street? my neighborhood? if it includes a park that is accessed by all county residents, then surely I'd argue its not merely a local benefit. I'd...

Looking through the Irvine records, it appears that this first build out is 71 homes (18 Plan 1, 25 Plan 2, 28 Plan 3), followed by a second build out right next to it (towards Jeffery) of 96 homes (8 Plan 1, 44 Plan 2, 44 Plan 3)

Wow... I butchered that one. Bunk know grammar.

Got it. I try slipping them a $20 next I'm there. :)

Yeah, can't argue with that. I suppose I just really like the great room style of the newer homes and don't care so much for the living/dining/kitchen being separated by walls.

WTH... why would they go away from the priority list? No explanation given?

More Santa Maria's is what they're going to be releasing next (the jeffrey ones). More Cambria's are news to me, but I like the sound of it.

$450/sq ft. 1981 sold in 9 days. sheesh.

I think they're polite and try to be helpful, but that the buying process isn't particularly buyer-friendly in many ways and they get tired of having to beat that same drum all day long, week after week. "No, we can't tell you what number you are on the waiting list, or when we might offer you...

We're in the same boat. We'll take any Cambria plan or plan 3 or at Santa Maria if we get the call, but fear that we're too far down the list.

That's what I was thinking. I couldn't do the payments without 20 down. Actually, I could do the payments, but the prop tax man and hoa people would bury me.

Yes, these prices are crazy, which makes TIC/IP properties actually seem reasonably priced between $330-$355/sq ft for a new home... err.. attached condo.

So we went to go visit these today.... I actually liked Residence 3. YES... it's true that the dining table goes right in between the kitchen and living area, and I wish there were 1-2 more feet on each side, but I don't mind it. It is, afterall, a Great Room. The patio is a little small, and I...

Question for folks that are on the waiting list... Which plan(s) are you on list for? And why that plan? Wondering what people's observations were on the different plans.

This was a nice home, but the small dining space, undesirable neighborhood, and noise from Culver kept us from bidding. It sold fast as we expected though.
