Here is a co-efficient of variance analysis between list prices and closing prices using IPO's tracked data. Basically the co-efficient has drawn dramatically closer to 1.0 after October 2008. This is indicative of closing prices being much closer to the list prices. <fieldset...

Thank you all for your detailed comments. As usual you guys rock!

Stepping Up, if I hypothetically live in a bad area of CM, is it true that I cannot send my children to Newport Mesa school district? Are there zip code restrictions? If yes, how would I know what these restrictions are? Thank you so much for your input. Irvine Renters and others, this...

http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2007/10/06/education/dpt-blueribbon03.txt I was looking at some blue ribbon schools in Orange County and noticed that the "Newport-Mesa" school district hast two good schools that feature on the list. How is the Newport-Mesa school district in your...

ID, The problem arises when you think that: 1) you and the others have MERELY a difference of opinion 2) you have no interest in debating based on MERITS and FACTS 3) you have a natural bias against anyone who has a bearish view of the situation 4) you assume that people who do not want...

Just a theory: The remaining funny money in the market needs a place to travel to - the next productive and safe opportunity AKA Irvine housing. I think Irvine will get hit harder if it is speculators who are quickly swallowing all the opportunities in Irvine. These are the knife catchers who...

What I find frankly quite dumbfounding is the fact that no one was counting the fact that prior to the downhill descent in home prices and sales volumes, the housing industry experienced the highest rates of appreciation ever in history. That is why I think that all these sensational headlines...

CK, In Irvine, I have noticed that backing on to an arterial road is relatively ineffective in getting a price cut unless the home has other drawbacks like being a fixer upper. IMHO, you have to be more careful while evaluating Irvine home prices because, the 'Irvine' premium can be deceitful...

skek, I liked your comment. Noise tolerance is also an important issue. People who cannot sleep with a leaking tap sound obviously cannot deal with street noise.

what is the address of the home on Granada?

What if it comes at a fantastic price like low 200s a sq feet and in a good area?

Ok so here is the situation. The home's backyard (small one) is backing on to a street with regular flow of cars. What are the repurcussions in terms of future saleability (is it really a deal breaker or is the inside of the house still more important) and what are the repurcussions on living...

Hi all, thank you for your advices and comments. My liqudity situation is very good and I have been putting away money into the IRA just for tax benefits. I do have enough stacked away for downpayment and am not really tapping into the IRA for lack of other funds. I have a strong 401k situation...

If I want to use my Traditional IRA up to $10,000 against the purchase of my first home purchase, what steps do I need to follow to be able to withdraw these funds? What documentation do I need to furnish to IRS to show that I have applied the withdrawn funds towards a new home purchase such...

You got to admit that the democrats are either very brave or very reckless trying to make history by trying to elect the first woman or African American as President of America.

flmgrip, I asked a question, if you do not like it ignore it. Maybe it does not apply to you. I am not interested in flame wars. Good luck in your quest.

Good point about Citibank - with the interest expressed by international investors, it might be a safer bet

Thank you all for your comments.

I know that there is FDIC insurance for deposits up to 100k. However considering the probability that a lot of banks might face a lengthy liquidity crisis that could result in bankruptcy; which banks might be safer to put your money in? I currently use Bank of America and Wamu.

"Supposedly the Heatherwood plan has been pretty sought after normally" Ipo, maybe too many people are looking in a very desirable part of Irvine. Or maybe the branded, realtor vended koolaid is intoxicating to the listeners too HEHE. But really my friend, it seems to me that if people were...
