    Where the market is - Buyer Offers

    It might hurt you. The listing agent can make use of your escalation clause and tell the other buyers that the highest offer is $1.321m, and you have to bid over that price. I am sure someone will do so.

    Irvine seen as epicenter of violence against Asian - will it impact sales?

    No, Irvine is in no way the epicenter of violence against Asian. Check out this video below from NYC that has been popular on social media. It is very brutal. I am shocked and very sad that shit like this still happens in the U.S. And what is more despairing is that no one stands out and stop...

    Where the market is - Buyer Offers

    If I were you, I would buy in Ontario/Eastvale. You can get a 3-4 bedroom brand new detached condo with that price. The price has increased a lot over the last year and it still has the potential to increase. With less than $200/sqft, you can not beat that price any where in Orange county.

    Just from the pictures of the kitchen, I think it is purchased by a flipper. This property needs major renovation. No ordinary homeowners would like to cook in that kitchen.

    How to know where value lies today

    I heard that in Australia, only live auction is allowed. Interested buyers have to appear in person to bid and they stand in a circle with the listing agent sitting or standing in the middle. The auction can finish in 10 minutes.

    How to know where value lies today

    In today's market, even experienced developers can not predict how high the market could be, so they just let the market play by itself. They used to be price-setter and market maker, making it easier and more convenient for buyers. But now, they want to be a market follower.

    How to know where value lies today

    Do not be misled by the listing price. At today's market, many seller agents list over $50-$100k below market value to attract interest and create bid wars. That's just a marketing strategy. So $96k over asking is fairly normal and becomes a new trend now.
