    Did Irvine prices get "destroyed"?

    Same here. we thought there could 2 types buyers remorse that could take over. 1] we got lot smaller place for the price limit we set ourselves. 2] we don't live in Irvine. We felt we could live with the 1st one easier than the 2nd. either way even when looking at other south county...

    [IHB] Buy or rent at Kelsey Lane in Oak Creek

    I completely agree about rents that are prevalent in Irvine.  not just for these SFR's but even for townhomes/condo. IF you check for 2 bedroom townhouse style apartments from IAC, it costs about 2400-2800/- per month. these are just 1100 to 1200 sq ft townhomes with mostly 1 car garage. one...

    Casero by Standard Pacific

    Noticed that too and thought maybe they have sold out and this could be the model home. If not then it is really amazing.

    I didn't mean to hurt anyone either. I just found it funny thats all. As for my connection with IR it is just as a reader of his blog. I've met him 2 times in IHB meet at the DISTRICT.  So i have nothing at stake.

    OK clarification. When i talk about drainage I'm talking about the water clogged roads at the first sign of rain. When i talk garbage disposal I'm taking about the street littered with crap which doesn't get moved and therefore foul smell even in front of those 300/sq ft homes. Yes there are...

    Talking of India realestate there is more expensive on a per sq ft basis than Irvine. This with no infrastructure of roads, drainage, garbage disposal, availability of good water and noise pollution etc etc. Honestly I felt happy and lucky to have bought a place in 2010 collection at about...

    Laguna Altura feng shui

    Considering the main target market for the irvine company with there homes I'm sure they are quite aware of Feng shui stuff. I doubt they will mess up on some basic stuff like that. Although i don't know much and don't care much about Feng Shui to pass judgement on Laguna Altura specifically.

    Garage Epoxy Recs?

    I have seen a lot of new home owners do it themselves. Looks quite good. I would suggest buying few extra pack of chips and sprinkling it. Otherwise the floor may be too slippery when wet. Since yours is a older garage the maximum work is in prepping the surface. So i might recommend a real...
