ugh, don't say "invest in a condo" on this forum. I would read the Mar 31st post on this blog, it's long but it's very very good. Point is, owning your home does not make financial sense, but it does make emotional sense and is appropriate for someone looking for that type of lifestyle...

The old days include the neighbor converting their garage into a 4th bedroom and parking their RV outside your house.

Aren't like 95% of the homes in NC owner occupied?

supply and demand but more so specialized labor required to apply stucco is more abundant in so cal, not so much in colorado and east.

Bren prefer's mediteranian architecture. Stucco is cheap in Cal, in the north west and east, siding is cheaper. In denver, brick facade is cheap. Also, california's early colonizers were the spanish, these influences remain prevalent in most cal communities due to missions. I think it's...

Your community should have website maintained by the HOA, yeah, okay, maybe not the place for the most up to date news. I think, if you request it, your HOA is required by law to mail you a meeting agenda a few days in advance. I think your caution is warranted newVOC, not from a libel...

NewVOC, any updates on why you took down your blog?

By "Hot Pockets" do you mean crack?

This sounds like a grass roots marketing attempt to me. I think one way to torpedo this site would be inundate this forum with spam.

Planning departments are going to have severe pay cuts, developer fee's paid for much of their salaries and if i'm not mistaken. Developer's stopped developing.

Meowoth that's right

Mcoates, i did offer advice, but your spamming forced me to rescind,

I think NewVOC may be running for a vacant seat on the Master HOA or Community HOA, people in his community do know the real name of New VOC, Lennar certainly does. If he removes all comments from this site and his blog, he probably stands a better chance of getting on the Board, given that...

New, what happened to your columbus grove blog? Did you get a buy out offer?

Thanks for the clarification ISB. I like your life insurance example but i think it worked the oppisite way as well. The buble and inflated home values were driven by the easy access to real estate information and services through sites like lendingtree.com and zillow.com and speculators fervor...

Look, nothing i'm saying is untrue (except the personal attacks, which i admit are immature) or not grounded in a "profesional" opinion. Especially about the location or what the function is of the Camden building on the coren of main and jamboree

ISB, land in Irvine, the Irvine business complex, did go for $4.5 mill an acre. Land in santa ana, see skyline towers, went for much more than $4.5m, same with the land the towers had been planned on in costa mesa. But more importantly, all of this land sold at this price did not belong to...

Blt, Camden @ main and jamboree is the name of the apts which is the 4 story structure on the corner of main and jamboree. Behind the apartment complex and souplantation is the residence inn which is the 7 story structure. The two seperate facilities are sharing the monument sign...

a white report has to be filed with the california department of real estate in order to go to sign a contract, put money and escrow and close. a yellow is one step below and is not always filed by the developer, typically it's only filed when the developer is in a rush to get buyers...

blt, well per the experience we had with the asian finaicial crisis and the Japanese government (and i'm talking about miti here) really dropped the ball and let residential and real estate commericals decline by 25% and later 43% of the 50% of the land owning population was forced to reconsider...
