http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-spring-market-20170425-htmlstory.html It just feels home activities near LA are much hotter then Irvine at the moment due to a lack of new construction homes and scarcity of available land.

I think Messina is close to finishing off the homes and releasing the models.  Started breaking up the parking lot in the Sales office.

Are you guys actually thinking about going here in the opening week? It will be like 3 hours wait.  I really hope they have text message waiting system.  I will go put my name down and wait at home until they txt me.

Another Plan 3 on the market -https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/59-Quarter-Horse-92602/home/109734754 Little pricey.  Nice photo of the car smack in the front. 

$140k - $80k agent fee + closing costs - $20k landscaping - $25k post close options (guessing window treatments, etc.) = close to break even if it closes at asking.  Transaction costs eats up the profit fast. 

From my personal experience and neighborhoods, overwhelming number of them are native educated Doctors and Lawyers.  Mostly Surgeons, ER, Dentists, and Other Specialists that work in Orange County.  Others are real estate mogul Persians and business owners and wealthy families from Taiwan...

For which properties? Example: 121 Sunset closed on phase 1 around $1.48 million + $100k of landscaping, options etc. = $1.58 million and Sold for $1.92 million so some profit ($240k profit after broker fee).  113 Sunset closed for $1.71 million + $300k for landscaping and other options = $2...

Confirmed - Sold Prices.

I can speak for the Sunset Cove ones. 81 Sunset (Plan 1) = Not a Resale (By a Builder) - $1.8 million (no landscape) 103 Sunset (Plan 2) = Not a Resale (By a Builder) - $2.075 million (no landscape) 77 Sunset (Plan 2 ) = Not a Resale (By a Builder) - $1.6 million (no landscape) 83 Sunset (Plan...

Probably broke even or lost little $ after costs.  The buyer probably needs to dump another $350k to $500k to make it look descent inside/out.

I go for a walk around the OH hood by myself after work almost every other night.  I only saw coyote once during a trash take out day.  He/she just wandered off.  Just avoid the trash take out days and unless you are bringing a toddler or a little puppy between Dusk till Dawn near the hills, you...

Information on Altair is up on Toll Brothers website.  Grand Opening Summer 2017. https://www.tollbrothers.com/luxury-homes-for-sale/California/Altair

Kang Ho Dong BBQ Irvine seems to be making progress.  But, definitely slow.  btw, I think the K-town (1st US location) is so much better than the Buena Park location. FYI, the owners are different between these two locations.  The Buena Park owner is developing the Irvine one.  As for the...

Does having a big Cement Mix Factory right next to residential homes cause some type of hazards (i.e. Air, Toxicity, etc.)?  There is one right adjacent to Baker Ranch.

Lot 210 is still available?  It looks like a person that reserved 211 switched to 210 and now that particular lot is reserved.  btw, I wonder who took the "T" section Lot.  That one is now reserved too.

My vote goes to the View Lot if you can afford it.  For resales later, view homes will always move faster during the up or down markets.  I hate the hill lots because it's just bad Feng Shui.  Drain systems are good these days, but I don't like the fact that water will move down slope towards...

When is the model complete?  Really have to work harder.  0 homes reserved out of 18 released (per site plan on website)?  What's up with the slow take off?

Vistas aren't doing too bad considering current slow down in luxury market. Bella Vista has only one home at "T" section with no view available out of 12 homes released and Alta Vista has 4 homes available out of 14 homes released.  The initial phase lots are in a lower elevation with no...

How is this neighborhood selling?  No one talks about it now.

The one pending is TUSD.  Thus, no noticeable TUSD discount observed yet.  Although, his yard (6,044 sqft) is definitely an outlier for IP homes.
