    Handyman recommendation - Juan from Honey Homes

    Thought I'd share some positive feedback for a handyman I used recently. His name is Juan and the service I used is called Honey Homes (https://www.honeyhomes.com/). The idea is that you have a designated handyman who dedicates 3.5 hours of time every month to taking care of all kinds of issues...

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    Turtle Ridge homes were built starting in 2003 and they have Google Fiber. I’m not sure if that is considered old or new lol

    Irvine Crime Wave

    Parts do feel more ghetto than they used to be. I noticed all kinds of strange characters walking across the Irvine Center Drive 405 overpass the other morning. I don’t understand where these people are coming from and where they are going. The apartments at Spectrum and Los Olivos are super...

    Presidential Elections

    I think many on the left believe in state as a religion. They know Biden wasn't calling any shots over the past 4 years but they had blind faith in his administration. They want to believe the MSM, the CDC, the Party (Democracy is at Risk!) and anyone who questions it is a right wing conspiracy...

    Why hasn’t this sold

    Are you implying that because this home had multiple reductions and still hasn't sold.. that reducing prices won't help it sell?? I don't know the neighborhood but could it be there simply isn't demand at this price for that home? I get not wanting to lower your price and if you are in a...

    Presidential Elections

    That's the thing! They hate Trump so much that they can't (or refuse) to see all the issues in the Blue party.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    It's hard to keep track of all the history on this.. but is the latest that: - Anaheim wants the cemetery - Irvine does not want the cemetary - Some Irvine residents want the cemetery in Irvine and are blocking Anaheim in the hopes of convincing Irvine to change their minds?

    Why hasn’t this sold

    Cupertino is not an old city. Cupertino incorporated as a city in 1955. Irvine incorporated as a city in 1971. The Cupertino home I linked feeds into Monta Vista (ranked 110 for California Public High Schools) https://www.niche.com/k12/monta-vista-high-school-cupertino-ca/ The Turtle Rock home...

    Relocating to Irvine

    I think all of the Irvine high schools are competitive in general. Finding the right peer group will make a difference even at a competitive high school. I've heard that Irvine High and Woodbridge High are less competitive than University High and Northwood High (and I haven't heard much about...

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2024 to 2025

    Thanks to how California home prices have trended over the long term, every home purchase I've made was one of the best decisions I've ever made. :ROFLMAO:

    Why hasn’t this sold

    I'm not suggesting the price per square foot should be equal.. but the cities are quite comparable in terms of demographics, schools, jobs, housing stock, etc. Seeing things in Cupertino selling for 18+% over asking shows that demand is still insane in other prime parts of the state. Irvine is...

    MacBook Air M3 now $850 at Amazon

    The M3 for $850 is a fantastic deal for what you described! I would probably get it if I hadn't picked up the M2 Air a month ago for my kid for effectively $750 through the Apple Education store ($899 + $150 gift card).

    Why hasn’t this sold

    Yes, why have things slowed in Irvine in the last couple months? Supply (inventory) has definitely gone up (but might still be considered low historically) Has Demand gone down? Non-FCB Demand or FCB Demand or both? Some prime areas in other parts of California are still hot.. For example...

    Thought For The Day

    Great teachers are super important and valuable. When you find them, please acknowledge them, celebrate them, and advocate for them. Having a teacher that actually knows and cares about your kid makes a tremendous difference. Are your kids teachers really not well paid? I just looked up a few...
