    waiting list at san mateo?

    Called this week they said they aren't in phase 4 yet. Maybe in the next 3-4 weeks? Not sure if the sales guy was exaggerating to sell off the current homes. Know there are 2 or so plan twos and 1 plan 3 left. Not sure about plan 1.

    Stonegate vs. Woodbury

    Like Village People, my husband really likes Woodbury but the resale prices are still so very high and there aren't many new developments that fit our needs. The hoa right now for Stonegate is only ~110 while the assocation costs for Woodbury are 300. Will Stonegate eventually cost 300 as well...

    Reasons to buy a detached property

    HOA did not pay for it. It was considered the responsibility of the home owner. It cost ~5K. :( Sadly we don't have insurance that covers the inside of the house. Not sure if we were ripped off since we only had one quote and they sort of backed us into a corner by charging 500 to get a detailed...

    Reasons to buy a detached property

    Not sure. We don't have an attached garage. The plummers peeled up the carpet, and jack-hammered the concrete to get to the pipe that was leaking. They said it had to do with bad water and it should of last us another 25 years?

    Reasons to buy a detached property

    We have actually seen San Mateo, San Marcos, Casero, Primrose and Las Ventanas. I wish one of them would pop out at me as being "the one". But after we saw all of them it just makes us more confused. I like Primrose - plan 3. Like the loft area. The yard area didn't feel that nice. Noticed...

    Reasons to buy a detached property

    After being indecisive about buying a resale property versus new and a condo versus a detached home. We have made up our mind! :) We just had a slab leak.  :'(  A portion of our walls and carpet are wet. We live in a condo and luckily it didn't leak to our two neighbors! But thinking of the...

    Grand Opening Weekend: Stonegate & Design Center

    Talked to the Sales People at San Mateo. Found out you can wash your car there however you must do it in the garage! They have a hose hookup. Interesting...Maybe that's why there is a gutter instead of a sidewalk? Can you wash your car at Stonegate East?

    waiting list at san mateo?

    So is anyone buying at San Mateo now? Or are you guys going to wait for incentives. Went to the open house Sat. The homes look nice. There are going to be 20 phases! They are on phase 3 and said they'd be in 4 in the next couple of weeks.

    Trying to buy in Irvine is NO Fun

    We are looking for homes that are at least built in 1980's and under 600, single families with nice lot sizes and backyards, low association. We bid on short sale in WoodBridge and got outbid by an all cash buyer. Another home we were interested in was a Turtle Rock home. Found out it got 3...

    Sleeping arrangements

    Our 21 month year old has co-slept with pretty much since birth. From what I read and what our pediatrician says it's all about what you guys are comfortable with as parents. If we had to do it again we would. It's really cute. Lot of cute memories already. ;)

    Trying to buy in Irvine is NO Fun

    We have a little condo (1000 sq feet) in OC. Have a little toddler now so the Irvine school district and nearby parks seem so desirable. A person once told us it's a better investment to buy in a good community than spend on private school. Shrug. I almost want to give up. I'm an idealist and...

    Trying to buy in Irvine is NO Fun

    :'( Reasons: 1. Being outbid by an all cash buyer. 2. Interesting properties are sold before we can even view them. 3. Inventory seems so limited. 4. Everyone says wait but we have been waiting for years. And even when we try we are unsuccessful. Frustrating and sad. Living in Irvine seems...

    Location versus Home Type?

    Would you buy a single floor older attached home with a large lot in a nice location i.e. Turtle Rock or would you buy a newer zero lotline property  i.e. Portola Springs?
