    Where are we headed?Irvine home prices?

    I don?t think Chinese FCB will save irvine during the next downturn. From what I?m told from an agent who deals with these buyers, they are having a really tough time getting their money out of China.

    Amazon to build second Headquarters

    LA is playing it smart in my opinion. They are using multiple cities to try and get HQ2. I think it?s a long shot. What surprised me is that LA included Santa Clarita, Long Beach, and Culver City (may be more cities). Santa Clarita is moving forward with its Newhall Ranch development.  Cheapish...

    Trump Tax Reform and Home Prices

    needs to be asked every year...what are the indications for 2017?

    I can see why people feel Trump will be good for real estate.  However, lets not forget that during the last recession he said that he hopes real estate goes down. That way people like him can buy more of it. I'm actually looking for a home to buy but the inventory is horrible for a budget of 600k.

    Forgot to mention, has anyone heard or tried out Rescom Landscaping?  My father in law's neighbors used them and work was minimal and descent.

    Recommendations for landscaping companies

    Nah, Mahe gave me a quote of $2200 which I felt was too much for a 120 sq ft patio.  Told ya'll it was small.  Maybe I'll just do concrete.  I don't plan on keeping the property anyways.

    Ceiling Fan Alternatives?

    I have a ceiling fan outlet in our place and don't like the look of ceiling fans.  What would you suggest I do with the outlet if I remove the fan.  It's in the living room and it isn't a big space.  Can I install just one ceiling light?  We have lamps in the living room but I am wondering if...
