    Joys of replacing a fridge, attempt #4

    I've had a built in since 1998 so I had to get another for this house and won't be getting a built in on the next house either because it only fits a 36" wide which I know won't nearly hold enough even for two people. Before the subzero we just had, we have only had two refrigerators which were...

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2022

    10 year bond still falling......... towards 2.5 and then towards 2. If you want a house now is the time to try to strong arm a seller into lowering the price if you can. Negotiate the longest time frame u can get for inspections. If the yield keeps falling bet you'll end up with a sweet deal.

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2022

    Just got back from Cali. Paid $4.99 for gas at FV costco. Costco is no longer the lowest station in a few areas and Berri brothers beats them in FV now. Gas got me to the interior of AZ where I paid $3.95 tonight at Costco. (Sam's club competition gets it this low (probably same as FV)...

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

    That's why I told my daughter to get your papers in and be ready in case it's just a pop lower for a day or two. Being in the area for so long, something that has been uncanny is Tustin's ability to lolligag and manage to finally get things built at market tops, completely missing the upside...

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

    My daughter has a 4% loan (just closed in May). Unless it's no cost not sure it makes a huge difference for her since she is a few 100K under jumbo loans but I told her to get a mortgage broker and have her papers ready in case they fall one day bigly. If the 10 year breaks 270 it could head...

    Institutional landlords under pressure

    I think open doors is going to have to be put out to pasture for not learning from zillow. One of their listings here is listed by redfin. We can look up owners here by address and it is most definately owned by open doors.

    Toyota moving to Texas

    Nope. Price for megawatts per hour is half of what I was paying in Cali. I don't have any time tier restrictions either. I have no pool but no one heats their pools here anyway. They have to have some shade actually or most people find the water too warm for their liking in the summer. My...

    Toyota moving to Texas

    Hot here too but I'm pretty happy with my move. Got a full month electric bill with the a/c never turned off. (Must have decent insulation because it doesn't kick on that much and I'm comfy cool with not any windows covered by more than a sheet and the entire rear of the house which gets the...

    Props to anyone who knows who knows who my daughter and son in law are standing with (it's their nephew but who is he?) on the best day of his life so far....

    Oil

    Good Lord! Price should fall quicker than that! $5.99 to $5.39 is 10% we've fallen to $4.39 from $5.49 which is 20% here. 60% of our refined oil comes from Cali. Must be all those taxes and fees holding up prices in Cali. Gotta come back to Cali for a party in a week. Hoping to see under $5 by...

    TIC Making the Floorplan Worse? Why? Cielo VS Ravello

    I agree with your wife. Big pantry any day. You can store other stuff in there too which is a big plus if you only have a two car garage. Would love a prep kitchen but it needs the fridge at least to be near it, if not a second fridge and the flex room is great too for anyone who has kids doing...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I bet its new and recently closed on it. We're missing two cabinet doors in one bathroom. I don't know if they were damaged or didn't get here, but it's close without them and they will install when they get here or wait. We wanted to move in so we closed without them. I'm not worried we won't...

    New Listing- Marigold Plan 2 detached condo @ Cypress Village (81 Cactus Flower)

    They would have eeked out another $72,000 if they bought it in 2017. So exactly what would have been the sales price in 2018?

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Not a dem, but I'm beginning to feel sorry for Biden even though much of this is his doing. It's as if all the plagues are being thrown at him. LOL! Having stuffed mushrooms for dinner. They are $2 a pound here. Haven't seen that price in many many years and it's a low for this area too. Hoping...

    Joys of replacing a fridge, attempt #4

    I bought a car Aug 2020. No problems. Couldn't find the fridge I wanted (still back ordered now till mid Sept) so I bought the cheapest ugliest old style kenmore fridge from costco (moving again and plan on putting it in my garage and getting another one). Even went with white, lol! No problems...

    Hot cpi and what is happening to bond yields? They don't think inflation is going up from here.

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2022

    I experienced that myself but unless oil goes back up, we're not going to 10% interest rates. Times are different. Inflation that peaked in 1981 came after WWII. Everyone was buying like crazy with household formation increasing and new homes everywhere. Most of my friends had families with 3-4...
