    Buying a house

    So basically the same old practice? Except that buyer's agents now need to find out other ways (such as by emails and calls) to find out how much concession each seller is willing to pay. In the previous listing contract, does it specify how the 4% total commission is going to be split between...

    Buying a house

    This is an interesting topic. A few questions: 1. On top of the 2% seller concession paid to buyer's agent, does seller still pay 5% to his own listing agent, or half of it (2.5%)? 2. With a seller's concession, does buyer also pays buyer's agent? That is, does buyer's agent get double paid from...

    Why hasn’t this sold

    Driveway, setback (3' vs 5'), landscaping responsibilities and HOA fees are the main differences.

    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    Thanks for the detailed comments. Seems you are an existing homeowner in Meadows. How do you like living there? I have been considering Meadows, but my main concerns are the school and the gates. I am now considering ParkSide, as they are gated without MR and within my budget.

    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    I have heard Meadows residents are pushing for a gate for the community. That will pump up the price if achieved.

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    TBH, I don't think MR collected from GP is enough to pay for all the construction at GP. There must be funds from other resources be contributed towards it. These funds might be paid by all the tax payers in OC.

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    Should I refinance now?

    Yes, you are absolutely right. My margin is 2.25%, so the rate would be 7.75% at the current index level.... So the real question is where would the Refinitiv USD IBOR 12m go in the next 5 months... Is there a place where I can see the historical date of the rate, even better with comparison to...

    Should I refinance now?

    The cap of first change is 5%.... After that it is 2% cap on future rate changes.

    Should I refinance now?

    I have an ARM 3/1, and the first 3-year fixed-rate period will end soon on Nov 1 2023. That means my rate--and therefore my monthly payment--is going to change (yes, increase) on Nov 1 2023. My current rate is 4.125%. I am so afraid the rate is going to be above 7% or even 8% by Nov. I have...
