    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    I also find it very difficult to justify the price given the location despite the bigger lots than Evergreen. Based on the site plan, it looks like most homes will be having a motorcourt. I get the reasoning behind it as it allows for more homes to be built, but as a result it doesn't feel like...

    Looks like base price will start at 2.9m.

    The point is you can’t use the Chinese RE metric with US. It’s apples to oranges. At the end of the day the homes here are bigger and cheaper compared to China.

    that's true, but you have to understand the target demographic/buyer here. Most homes in China are attached and they don't look at the price per sq/ft when buying. They look at the sale price.

    RoaringKitty is a genius. I was initially concerned about this dude manipulating the direction of the stock and especially with his livestream event happening. Him being late 30mins and the stock dropping so hard is the nail in the coffin about him manipulating the stock. He was probably late on...

    I think the individual is saying the current market price is ridiculous. I believe we all agree that including you

    I'm definitely not a politician so I'm not going to say my approach is the best/right way to handle the situation. But as you said, banning foreigners from buying local real estate is very common in other countries. Think about why it's common. The fact we don't have that in place is...

    Aren't FCBs the ones that normally flip? For example, https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/113-Thimbleberry-92618/home/173431845. Looked it up and I'm pretty sure 99% they are FCB.

    I don't quite understand why your focus is on illegal immigrants. Are we here saying these group of individuals are driving local real estate prices? Sure, my proposal had some immigration reform behind it, but that's to identify who is considered local and to use that as a way to prevent...

    The proposals that I have are not to fix Irvine housing prices. The point is to ban foreign investors from obtaining US real estate.

    What's crazy about this one is it sold for 2.7m in January 2024. The owner now thinks the home is worth 800k more in a span of 4 months? What's sad is someone will pick this up close to 3.5m and that's the concerning part about Irvine RE. Those comps will be used for future homes and the prices...

    STR are probably enforced from neighbor complaint. In the newer HOA communities, HOA tends to enforce it as it clearly states no STR. How would I fix the problem? It would include changes to how one can obtain citizenship. I don't think that one should be able to "buy" their way to citizenship...

    Anyone can live in Irvine for 2-3 years and then buy a home. I don't see how your proposal would fix the issue.

    US citizens? How are you going to discriminate against a US citizen?

    What's defined as a "local buyer"? These FCBs can easily buy their green cards and obtain US citizenship if they wanted. Some probably already have US citizenship.

    more bathrooms has more value than bedrooms. The cost to make a bedroom is lower than a bathroom.
