My bad, I thought this was a Legado thread...

.

I thought as you did back then but this time would be very different.  People got kicked out because they couldn't afford them mortgage when jobs went away, income went down, interest only reset, and folks lied on their loan app.  This time, even if you are very qualified, you have to go through...

It seems like many are saying Option 1 is the way to go. Bones' option 3 is probably what would make the most sense in a long run.  I mean according to that book Millionaires Next Door, that's how most of the typical American millionaires live, in a modest comfortable house, small business...

The pre-plumbing was only $500 but the cabinet/sink/top are about $1600....

Additional questions... So Kitchen Island top and sink should be post builder, replacing the one provided by the builder? What about Laundry room sink/faucet addition?  I think included is just a plain cabinet top without sink/faucet/cut out and the builder charges up to $2000... 

I was at the school concert for my kid last week.  Grant that it's not a paid, adult concert but most folks were respectful and courteous.  The music teacher actually pulled out his cell phone in front of everyone and silenced it and turned on airplane mode at the beginning of the program. The...

There are many Irvine experts in this board but as you have, you should research more on the mentioned communities and decide for yourself... If you and your parents like Strada and meet all the necessary stuff, then go for it...  Many talked about Irvine (especially new neighborhoods) being...

Did Legado release any new phases?  I went over there last weekend late to check out model homes in Legado and Cressa... only saw 1 or 2 couples looking around.

JP said, ""American Experience", language, culture, (including neighbourhood BBQs etc.) my impression of Americans in general is that they are including, outgoing and social" He's from Norway, a relative smaller and more homogenous society. (closest to Norway I've been to was Finland and it was...

As you might have guessed, I'm thinking the post implies Irvine's going down as GG did with influx of Asians, highway (toll roads for Irvine), and big shopping malls... I'm about 15 miles away and still hear and feel fireworks from Disneyland at night... It must be fun living nearby there...

akkord, Thanks for the info.  So you moved in Ellwood already, I guess.  Congratulations.  If you got one of the earlier phases, than the priced already increase by $100k + or more based on how well Ellwood did.  Not just in Irvine but through out LA and OC, under $800k homes are selling very...

I'm not an expert in RE sales, but shouldn't the last phase listing price by the builder right before the model home sales be more accurate comp?  Theoretically, even Phase 1 home final sale price can be as expensive as model homes if the buyer puts hundreds of thousands of dollars in options...

What's going on in BP sales?  Last thing I heard was Ellwood sold out completely but others were struggling.  Can you elaborate a little more?  I'm not buying in BP but was just curious...  A year ago, there were several folks selling PS 1 homes to move down to bigger homes in PP and BP.

I heard that the majority (some 70 or 80% of the new homes in Irvine were sold to Chinese (one from mainland, Taiwan or Chinese Americans in the past a couple of years).  So is the majority of the folks who oppose the cemetery, Chinese people or are non-Chinese residents also against Cemetery in...

Aquabliss maybe little sensitive this time.. ;).  I ever said no sarcasm or generalization.  My post was specifically about posting for a  particular person with known identity.  It hurts when others talk about you (and I didn't even say anything really bad about aquabliss)???  😉

Portola Springs 5A before 4?

As AW said, I hope when everyone is writing posts about a certain individual with known identity, one thinks twice about it and make sure it's based on facts and real experiences.  Freedom of speech doesn't have to be gossip and baseless claim that could cost someone's career or business.  Now...

No Irvine or Newport Beach...

Not just non-Irvine folks.  I had to confront FOBs and FCBs to pick up after themselves in the food courts and sport events. What's worse is that trash cans were within 10 ft and they left all trash on the table and their kids were throwing everything on the ground.  It sucks to see your...
