    Varenna by Tri Pointe Homes at Orchard Hills

    20 homes sold?  Whaat?? When we went for preview they only had 6 homes in first phase and told me that sales will begin this coming  Saturday.  I thought in comparison to Varenna, Capella was a better buy but then again I also thought  LaVita wouldn't do well either

    PS9 You most likely have the honor of having done the highest number of refinancings in TalkIrvine, and probably the whole of USA.  Your 2010 pst says it was your 4th time refinancing and I hadn't even heard about TalkIrvine then but I know you as the serial refinancing King since I joined. ...

    Aquabliss I assume that your loan is a jumbo loan (or are you richer than I thought).  Cash Calls Jumbo mortgage rates are higher right?.  Did you try PS9's lady or Soylent Green?

    Varenna by Tri Pointe Homes at Orchard Hills

    Awesome views. Nicely decorated models.  Small backyard but because of the layout, the wall is not up against your face like Capella, nicely done.  Outdoor Kitchen was a nice feature and backyards were also well done.  Interior of Varenna is however much smaller than Capella and quite inferior...

    Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

    For the record, I didn't say that Capella Lots cost $800k.  I only said that according to property tax records for a Cappella House the value of the land is listed as $800K.  May be some one in land development can comment on the how the pre-developed land prices compare to the finished lots.

    Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

    I agree that the land price seems good for that location.  I don't know how the finish land values compare to the ungraded lot but I pulled up tax records for a Trevi House and a Capella lot both backing to the Avacados.  The Trevi land basis was 1.45 million and the Capella land basis was...

    How much cash is really needed when purchasing new home from Irvine Pacific?

    To me it looks more like for some reason you don't want to show all the money you have to the lender/IP.  If that is the case there is no point to it.  There are no negotiation with IP on price and you have to buy at whatever price they want to sell. On the other hand if you are trying to get...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    Both 113 and 121 looks great.  Hardwood floor color on 113 could have been more contemporary.  Both backyards are awesome.  It's a shame that the owners are not able to live in them longer and enjoy life

    Mmn!! I was trying to point out that you would get a better rate if it is a Jumbo Loan (i.e: you wouldn't put additional money but rater not put as much to keep the loan as Jumbo, you can always pay the Principal down right after closing)

    Per previous threads you can get a better rate if it is a Jumbo Loan

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    If the interest rate is lower and is being done at no-cost then it obviously makes sense, you just have to make sure you pay slightly more than your new payment

    Congrats Goriot.  Super deal on top of moving into a house with already built-in equity in it.  Enjoy. Paging PS9, it is time to refinance again
