    Padova in Orchard Hills

    Don't do it--looks terrible when pools are shoe-horned into lots that are not big enough for them, and you lose the room to use it for anything else. I've always wondered, how do people who install pools on tiny lots manage to have the required safety fences around them? It's not safe to have a...

    Casita/ADU in Great Park Neighborhoods?

    What is the maximum FAR (floor area ratio), in addition to the 5 foot setback requirement? I?d be pretty PO?d if my neighbor built a new building 5 feet from the  property line. Does it have to be single story?

    Dirty kitchen

    I think an outdoor kitchen has wider appeal than converting a pantry into a second inside wok/dirty kitchen. You could do it in the California room--I've seen some examples of those, and they look nice, especially if there is direct access from the main kitchen. Asians from Asia might like a...

    Dirty kitchen

    agree. I think it is very buyer specific and depends on the price point of the house you are considering. If you are converting something like a large walk in pantry or home office nook order to make a dirty kitchen, I think a significant portion of buyers would rather have the storage space or...

    Single story homes without Mello-Roos for Retired Parents?

    try rancho san joaquin, Orange Tree, Woodbridge and the Vista Filare  neighborhood in old Northwood. It?s going to be hard to get a single story detached 2 br 2 ba for that budget in Irvine, especially if they don?t want anyone living above them. Those kinds of units are really rare. An...

    Pros/cons of listing w Redfin and other matter

    Anybody have any experience selling an investment property through Redfin concierge service? (condo, not a high end SFR) For 0.5% fee (on top of their standard 1.5% listing fee), they will oversee all renovation work (short of major gut jobs requiring permits) including using their preferred...

    Airstream Trailer parking

    Irvine neighborhoods are too densely packed to be able to fit an RV on the street or driveway without creating safety problems with decreased visibility and sightlines around an RV. Think about trying to safely back out of your driveway when you can?t see the cross traffic due to your neighbor?s...

    coronavirus

    This is hearsay. I have professional connections at this hospital and other area hospitals, the patient is NOT at Kaiser Irvine. The patient is at another area hospital, which I will not disclose. The only official confirmed OC patient is a MAN in his 50s.

    Properties Closing Less than Previous Purchase Price

    I don't know if this is the best example for Strada doing well either. This house closed for $120K below its previous selling price 2.5 years ago. It also includes all furniture and decor in the selling price. I think the market overall for certain types of homes is pretty bad.

    Properties Closing Less than Previous Purchase Price

    I think part of the problem is its essentially a large 2 br house with lots of nice high end finishes. 1.4 M seems pretty steep for 2 bedrooms. The owners over customized and turned the downstairs into an office with built ins and then turned one of the upstairs bedrooms into a huge walk in...

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    These ones that you posted have some of the largest lots in the tract,not representative of the typical Strada. The Stradas that re-sold well are the ones like above that had the premium lots for the tract (5000 sq feet, or no back neighbor). The ones with the standard small lots (3800-4000 sq...

    More buildable land in Irvine after the current villages are built out?

    Certain types of housing product you can't find new, or are rare for new construction. For example, 3CWG, single story homes with no one above you, large lots. I think that will maintain the demand for certain types of older product. I don't think its true that everyone wants to buy new.  I...

    When would be next housing Bottom?

    So are you saying you think the owners of all these empty homes in GP, etc, are MORE likely to dump these properties if it looks like the music is stopping, or LESS likely?
