I had one set of neighbors at the TIC apartment that talked on their balcony in a normal conversational voice, not a booming voice, and their normal voices reverberated in the courtyard like a loud TV at night ... I closed every window and could still hear the "TV talk show" from the courtyard. ...

I lived in a TIC apartment (built in mid-2000s) on the first level and never heard noise from adjoining neighbors on the same level but I would say I would never live with someone above me again, or in an apartment layout that has a courtyard where someone talking in one unit can bother every...

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/62-Bamboo-92620/home/5931314 I don't see how this house can close anywhere near what they are asking at $1,325,000 ... the highest the Camellia homes got is only just above $1 million ... I doubt this house right next to Jeffrey would even close above $1 million...

In Northwood 2, Monica Carr (I think she's with First Team?) stages all her listings, and I've been very impressed with how her open houses look.

I am familiar with selling put and call index options on the SPX or NDX but have never traded volatility options.  One difference it seems is the VIX fluctuates in a range from low volatility to high volatility while also indexes fluctuate but can have unlimited upside (although we have not seen...

Just imagine if they offered to lower your pricing for trades down to $1 for stock trades and option trades haha ... if you're an active trader Interactive Brokers is likely to save you significant money plus in my experience their execution on limit orders seems better than Schwab (for...

Have you considered trading with Interactive Brokers?  They have exchange minimum margin requirements for shorting options unlike TD or Schwab (which I think has the "worst" meaning highest margin requirements for shorting options) and their option trades are only about $1/contract compared to...

I'll add that it's got a nice entrance to the gate, then a nice central clubhouse landscaping and spacious grass field that greets everyone after the gates (that in newer villages would probably have been eliminated to squeeze more houses in), lined by the old-growth eucalyptus trees that give...

We're empty nesters ... skipped the starter home, 15 years in typical family home, 5 years in bigger "entertainers" home, now downsized to a small home with everything we need in a great neighborhood with walking distance to shops and no desire or need to move again and will be our retirement...

same here, I bought in 2011 and do not ever plan to put up a for sale sign...just stay here and enjoy the local markets and restaurants and when feeling adventurous, check out the attractions in the rest of the O.C.  My home value won't matter since I'm not ever going to use the equity (except...

whatever you do, try to select the funds with the lowest expense ratios ... I have no experience with bond fund expense ratios but any equity fund with an expense ratio equal to or lower than the Vanguard S&P500 index fund would be fine...

As far as I know there are no motorcourt homes in NW 2, only alley way homes where the garages open to the back alley but people enter the house through the front door off the street ...there is the Bella Rosa detached condos with alley access to the garage and the Serissa attached condos also...

56 Shadowplay shows as just going into pending a few days ago...did the realtor say they already have offers in the mid-800s?  Also I agree with your thinking about a smaller place in a nice area, NW 2 is pretty nice, it has 4 developments in the tract, 2 single family developments with "real"...

I was not impressed with beignets in New Orleans but was very impressed with the beignets served by Ruby's Diner in Irvine Woodbridge next to the dollar movie theater...I have to try these Foothill Ranch beignets now...

I was wrong speculating that it would close "near" the asking price...it closed at $1.7 million, $101,000 over asking...http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/27-Early-Lgt-92620/home/5930944

From redfin.com for 66 Secret Garden in Northwood 2, this is the sales history...how does this happen, that it gets sold for $650,000 and 4 months later sells for $905,000?  Mar 11, 2013 Sold (MLS) (Closed) $905,000 ? CRMLS #OC13020408 Feb 28, 2013 Pending (Backup Offers Accepted) ? ? CRMLS...

Apparently comps don't matter any more, this is now sales pending...if it closes near the asking price, would this be a new high for northwood 2?  I don't remember northwood 2 homes selling for this much even at the mid-2000s peak ...

Happy you like AZ and are adjusting to the weather but the five-week heat wave here in Irvine is driving me nuts...can't wait until the weather cools down! 

thanks, we would have never known except for this post, very easy, just gave them the pdf and got the free coupon for the counter.

It seems to me starting a few months ago (ever since they added the new street to the Cypress apartments) that the traffic lights on Jeffrey between Trabuco and the 5 freeway don't seem to be synchronized properly...obviously there is some construction activity along that stretch now, but the...
