    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    same landscaper general contractor we used. they were working on both of our homes at around the same time. GPN association architecture review board is faster these days than before. there is usually a meeting available where you can meet with them to bring your plans along to get idea and...

    Auburn at Stonegate by Richmond American

    yeah there has definitely been some advantages if you know the sales rep already and they've done transactions with you already. we bought with richmond at PP (and again at BP) so they knew we had the assets to upsize if we wanted. at the end of it, i think we're burnt out from dealing with...

    Current Climate - Buyer or Seller Market?

    USCTrojanCPA are you seeing some ridiculous seller counters for homes for your clients under the 1 mil (or 1.2 mil mark)? eg stuff like waiving most contingencies, shortening it to 10 days etc... my wife has been telling me wacky stories that makes me wonder if its all sustainable. hell even...

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    here's panoramic shot from a few months ago they're not mind bogglign amazing views. but it feels nice up there and i'd imagine most ppl that opt for a model with a deck will enjoy theirs too. (it sounds like I might have Sakred's home in this shot heh) note that the primose homes in front...

    Great Park Update from the OC Register

    neat map.  i recall this one being a bit old back in 2011? wonder is there any update in it as in if the retail space in district 4 will be scrapped since i dont see it in mentioned in newer maps. if they keep the small retail space at district 4, i wonder if the homes surrounding it will be...

    Current Climate - Buyer or Seller Market?

    oh you're talking specifically about new developments? i think that'll be very location/community dependent. eg some homes in beacon park is moving pretty slow so they're tossing as much incentives as they can. after all the 1 mil+ market is moving a bit slow. whereas at eastwood village they...

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

    reading this and looking at that thread you started on heritage hills, it sure does seem like they're talking about the same district 7. i've been seeing more activity there now so i suppose thats what they're prepping for. wonder what type of pricing will be looking at. oh boy i just realized...

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    is this a park within great park neighborhoods or the green belt/park behind ellwood? and also that would make sense how they calculate it (its wall to wall, even for the third floor). for our nash plan with the deck, there's a "living space" per se on top since there is a closet area on third...

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    yeah its a deck from the master bedroom. kind of neat. went through it once. surprised they backed out but i haven't been talking to them about it. sucks because I think they were pretty excited about the home. they specifically wanted the deck from the master bedroom which is kind of neat/isnt...

    Hot Home For Sale of The Week

    Wife took a client to this just recently: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/50-Bamboo-92620/home/5951926 price seems very good for square footage? so I thought the owner underpriced until the agent mentioned a similar home sold for 888k just a lil over a month...

    all cash home purchases

    I'm almost certain the limit was ages ago. here's some post from 2012 talking about it. So the slow down isn't directly related to that.

    all cash home purchases

    its its a HK bank account or a corporate account, then there's no such limitation, I believe but yeah I didn't know about this until the wife told me too. quite a hoop the chinese cash buyers have to jump through.

    all cash home purchases

    yeah I think the restriction is silly because it obviously doesn't stop money flowing out of the country. but thats the nature of it *shrug*

    all cash home purchases

    uh I'm almost positive "cash purchase" means they wire the fund (whatever the source) to escrow. versus literally bringing in a barrel of cash into the US (although some ppl, unaware of the $10k limitation imposed by US custom, do carry large quantity of cash into the US). what china does have...

    Avalon Eastwood Village VS Brio At beacon Patk

    take an agent with you so you'll qualify for the broker co-op, which most agents would happily split with you (towards closing cost etc) given its a new home and there's less work for them: http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,2700.0.html if you didn't one with you the first time and...
