Let's say you make $50K per month. (Yea, I know, it sounds a lot). And you are single. Living in an apartment for $2000. (Apparently, the apartment is super nice, and the location is the best, you can't find any SFR with a better location than the apartment). Will you  buy a million dollar...

I visited cpw, Lenox is not bad except the $714 hoa. I was interested in the condos in next building but it was sold out. Those condo only have 365 hoa.

I have a budget between $800K to $1M. I am a single guy, probably spend half of my time in Spectrum area. The other half will be in China. Currently live "The Village" apartment. So the new home is just a place to live, and part of my asset portfolio. I am gambling in 10 years, the house may...

Is they are not for sale? Really want to buy an apartment around Spectrum.

Is it going to be a rental or sale? If it's for sale, then it's a perfect urban living place.

You need a place to live. Unless you have two houses.

I worry about the interest rates. It's so low. If the FED keep it this low for next 10 years, we will be all screwed. The house will boom, and people will be poorer (even you have a house, as you can't sell it.) The rich will be richer, and the poor will be poorer. Eventually USA will becomes...

$2M home simply means you spend $10K per month to get a place to live (Interest, TAX, Utility, Maintenance ...etc). I am not ready to spend that much just for a place to sleep yet. I would rather spend the money somewhere else. If I can get a $0.5M view home, I will. I just don't want to settle...

I actually have been to Quail Hills, north end of treehouse, http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/100-Treehouse-92603/home/5902473 Only stay on the drive way, the noise from 405 is ridiculous. I don't want to have my windows closed all the time to avoid the noise. Crystal Cove is too much. I want...

The Hill in lamber ranch seems great, but the location sucks. Quail hill does not have many view homes, also noise from 405 is very loud. Irvine seems a boring place. Don't want to look into Lake Forest or Aliso Viejo, as I would rather stay on the west side of spectrum,as I go to China town a...

That's what I thought too. I am not worrying about the inventory at all. Seems like we have plenty of supply of new homes.

I keep examine myself regarding why I want a house. Still not clear yet, but maybe the feeling of a "REAL" life? Or complete some kindof task? House buying experience is not fun,so maybe I will just keep looking and waiting for my dream house, which I will know that I can stay in there for 20...

It's really difficult right now to get a safe return on any investment. That's why REAL STATE seems so lucrative now. The upside may not come, but the downside seems eliminated already. Try not lose money first, then figure out how to make money. However, managing rental maybe the worst job...

If this is the case, I am in no hurry to buy a house then.

Vellon and you got me thinking.

Wow, this one seems easily beat Maricopa plan. While I am debating whether I should buy a new house or not, which means I don't have the excitement of owning a house. Now I was thinking buying "NEW" may give me some excitement. But I have to admit, this one is really attempting if it goes...

Free like a bird? I have been "free" too long. Sometimes I feel I am like a girl, I need a place called: "home". Right now, when people ask me: Where is your home? I am like, I don't know. I Have an apartment in Beijing, and another apartment in Irvine, all renting. Trust me, not very good feeling.

I think maybe you are not a Chinese. I don't think a Chinese will like to live in Beverly Hills. If I can choose freely, no work restriction, Arcadia will be the #1 choice. Then will be: Rowland Heights, Irvine, and others.

What do you guys think? Maricopa plan 2 runs up to $866K, same price for The Field of $860K. The field is bigger, real SFH, But Maricopa has the "REAL" appeal of a house: Location?

Thanks, Guys, the analysis makes a lot sense. I am thinking to buy a house because it seems the trend, and I am old enough, live in the apartment too long, and I can afford it. Too many people question my decision of staying inside an one bedroom apartment, and think I am crazy to "throw money...
