Not sure about that. Comparing houses in Deerfield or the Ranch or Northwood from the 70s or Woodbridge seems to go from 100-200 to 850 - 1000. Still plenty of appreciation?

Is the lack of a full driveway why this house has not sold in 5 seconds like everything else on the market?

So how does this impact local buyers? Will investors slow their roll?

This is not entirely accurate. First off all the authentic asian food including Vietnamese is really on Buford Highway which is well north of downtown but still within the beltway. The bugs are everywhere but nothing at orkin can't handle. yes it is humid but there is also alot of greenery and...

I agree why is this on here?

The post is so funny! Question though since all of Irvine is not equal. From an investment analogy standpoint would you rather have a house in say Deerfield or the Ranch that is a 4bd (2000+ sq) and large lot or a 3bd (1200-1400sq) in Woodbridge, NW, Woodbury? Assume price of each is the same...

Interesting. So more space, 3 and 4 car garages, and large lot options but even if Elon's hyperloop concept eventually makes its way to IE --> Irvine it won't matter from what I'm hearing. What about a more likely option such as driverless cars? Even then folks could actually get work done...

if they create some sort of bullet train-hyperloop transport system from the IE to LA or Irvine what say you to property prices out there vs Irvine?

What are thoughts on the the half-drive way property at 2 charleston also a slightly bigger 3bd?

how  can  anyone buy a house with three bedrooms  and not a full driveway for 700?

I know 4, 44, and 444 are not feng favorites but how taboo are numbers in the 40-49 range?

So yeah all for immigration. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/17/half-of-chinas-rich-plan-to-move-overseas.html This may not be major news but I read this today on CNBC and it says LA is #1 and schools are obviously a top priority. I do not think this helps my Irvine search. This probably helps...

I think that these local investors can't be cash flow positive on their first home if they are looking to upgrade unless they purchased the first one awhile ago to make the rental income and costs (including mortgage) line up when they move to something bigger. I guess the trends is inventory...

So for the most part then investors and owners alike are not going to sell their properties when prices go down and financially both have a stronger balance sheet then in years past. so if they do sell they may be slim pickings anyway. So I think this really boils down to just a few things...

Best Pot- how do you compare now and in the future the Bay Area Market and Irvine market? I was original looking there before marriage and kids brought me to Irvine. 

NW would be great but the price for a 4bds are out of reach I feel now. If the appreciation play is just speculation then wouldn't this suggest that if the market goes down investors would be more likely to jump ship to cut their loses. Opening the door a bit? Someone mentioned alot of...

Hmm so if investors and locals are playing the appreciation game with investments and not worried about the month to month costs then it seems have to look a this a bit sooner then I was hoping. Where should I be looking for a 4bd with a 825 budget if that is even possible? I was hoping to maybe...

But if investors are all buying these homes at high prices and just parking money I guess they don't care about the cash flow or that they are essentially losing money each month on an investment but hoping for appreciation?

I am currently renting but have been in the market for a 4bd house for what seems to be forever. My budget goes up each year but so do the prices. I think I am going to be looking at resale homes in older communities with no hoa or mello roos where the house may not be in good shape but I could...

we are looking at 4bd rental somewhere in the 3500-3700 range in the next month or two. we may stay in our current rental or move depending on what we see. there is not a whole lot to choose from and i'm comfortable paying this price BUT a 10% increase puts our current rent 350-370 per month...
