I went to Vancouver Sept 2014.  It was full of Chinese (folks, cars, condos, businesses).  Big difference between Vancouver and Irvine was the small business signs in Chinese characters.  I thought I was in Hong Kong or something while I was taking the train to go to Vancouver down town.  It's...

Inc, I got pre-approved for a Portola Spring III and the internet agent told me I can't bring my agent for rebate since I'm on their priority list.  Now you are saying I can on my first physical visit to model home?

yes2, I'm in a similar boat as you but with around $850k budget.  Terraza starts at $860k or $870k and plan 2 or 3 are $million.  So with upgrades and options, you'll reach that $950k very fast...  Piedmont in Eastwood starts at low millions.  So that pretty much leaves SFR in West Irvine and...

So if anyone who buys a "high end home" now is pretty much a sucker?  Is that somewhat true with $500k ~ $800k level homes?  Thanks.

akkord, Do you mean +1, Nash and 3 models Nolan?  So Nolan with optional 3rd floor deck has drive ways?  Thanks.

I am interested and registered for the interest list but not sure what the price will be especially with the stock market tanking, the location being somewhat far away from central Irvine, and general housing market stalling....

I'm sorry if this question was asked and answered already... In Greenwood, the assigned high school is Tustin High.  What would be the chance of transferring to Beckman?  I work in West Irvine.  Can I legally use my work address to have my kid going to Beckman instead?    This is not allowed in...

I see all 3 plans for Ellwood (may be just one house each) in Redfin today.  I thought Ellwoods were selling like hot cakes.  Are these with even smaller sites and/or next to a big street or something?  I still don't see price dropping so I was wondering why they showed up in Redfin...

Thanks for your input.  Are you predicting that the price level won't go up or even dip a little with increased inventory, increase in fed rate (even thought no direct effect on 30 yr mortgage but may get 3 to 5 times more in 2016), and the stock market going down the drain?  I still see the...

I understand both sides...  Alternative would be playing basketball at high school gyms at night on certain days or join adult leagues or something.  It may be harmless playing sport outdoor, having fun, but to residents, it could be annoying and somewhat threatening also.  I used to play...

Not much... I was pointing out that Ellwood was more successful in selling their homes than other homes while maintaining gradual appreciation...

I sort knew that was coming...  but wondering if Bullsback had some other way...

Bullsback, How do you maneuver to get to the top of the list, other than being on the interest list and try calling them but never get anywhere except voice mail?  Thanks.

No, I mean Ellwood's phase 1 and 2 asking price (except premium lot and drive way) was low compared to other similar homes so it got sold fast phase after phase even with appreciation compared to other models around in BP.  Belvedere or Piedmont have floor plans that are similar to other...

Also, what's the tax rate including mello roo?  Is it almost 2%?  Thanks.

So phase 10 has lot premium (bigger backyards?) and all Nolan homes have driveway?

All good stuff in general regarding pricing, life changing event and investment decision making. Obviously, it's a balance that's the key.  One can't never be sure that housing will appreciate forever but can't do much if one thinks it's too expensive and will fall so won't buy anything. In a...

I guess I don't know all the real estate development lingos and terms but what do you mean by private policy and what's phase window?  I thought Eastwood is still in working but there is phase 2 again?  Is this more like pre IPO investment opportunity for selected folks with a lot of money and...
