    Trump Tax Reform and Home Prices

    Reduction or elimination of interest deduction might have an impact in the short-term, but in the long-run, I doubt it will have any impact as long as the demographics and jobs support it.  Millennials that will out number the baby boomers are either renting or living with their parents.  When...

    Beverly by Brookfield at Eastwood

    I won?t say they are selling that well at the moment.  After the grand opening Vistas barely budged past 2 additional phases with many available lots especially Alta Vista.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    It looks smaller as the TIC floor plans include all the functional spaces compacted into 2,400 to 3,000 sqft including 4 bedrooms, Loft, etc.  These are very functional and useful floor plans for day-to day living just like Honda Accords and Toyota Camry (boring but reliable and works fine).  If...

    Padova at OH

    Gates - Based on actual crime data (i need to dig it up), the overall crime rate is lower in the guard gated communities compared to nearby non-gated neighborhoods.  "However", domestic violence is a little higher then normal.  Most likely, rich people fighting over $$$ or cheating on each other=).

    Altair - new Irvine luxury housing by Lennar/Toll Bros - not Great Park, not TIC

    btw, Toll Brothers price sheet doesn't disclose the MR CFD amount.  They just mention 1.07%+CFD. Are they trying to hide something? $15k MR?=).

    Parasol Park

    How is Parasol Park doing?  Looks like many of the communities are near built out and model homes are out for sale (Obsidian, Rowland, and Somerset, etc.).  The sales pace is pretty damn fast.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Good news.  No more driving to Long Beach.  Considering how popular RH clearance sale was on that same location before, smart move for them.  I doubt you will find anything you like in the first couple of weeks as there will be a huge crowd.

    2017-2018 Property Tax Bills are out!

    Below is quote from Irvine Turtle from other blog. "Got the answer.  The 50% jump on 1915-AD was because for 2015-2016 tax year a credit (from developer?) was applied which has now expired.  For future years the tax amount would be similar and potentially subject to the 2% increase." For me...

    Portola Springs not on Irvine Pacific Website

    Why would they want to have homes built by other builders on their website?  Irvine Pacific should only have their own products shown on their website especially with OH 3 coming online.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    I think most of the OH residents goto their own Ethnic grocery shops (i.e. Chinese, Korean, Persian, etc.). I would hate to lose a grocery shop nearby.  Go Shop and have meals over there please.

    Orchard Hills - Pesticides

    I also moved to OH from Stonegate, but for me I had bad allergy issue at Stonegate.  At OH, I have no allergy problem so far maybe because I am further away from the Orchards.

    United States vs. ?

    Looks like Trump got the upper hand in the latest Kim vs Trump rhetoric exchange.  Doing a great job against NK so far~ Using a Military whip against Kim and a Trade whip against Xi.

    United States vs. ?

    You have to kind of look at this in a long term strategic perspective for the U.S.  If North Korea completes the Nuke program (which they are very close to), U.S. hands are going to be  tied up and hand cuffed against threats in South east Asia (China influence) as well as Europe against the...

    Orchard Hills -The Groves Update?

    Food and drinks were really good at Bella albeit very slow service.  Took advantage of people leaving early without their food. The last model home at Alta Vista was simply WOW.  One of the nicest model homes I have seen recently.  Bella model homes were blah blah..
