The others, even Martin, aren't as familiar with PS as I am, as I've been following it for months before listing. I can definitely say that these homes weren't getting offer not because they're overpriced. It's because buyers aren't looking anymore at this point. There is no traffic at all. My...

Let say you buy a $2.5M home and put down 40%, that's still $1.5M loan. Pretty sure you care about rates.

Like I said, it's a stalemate right now. I disagree with Martin that rates aren't affecting buyers. Certainly, it's not the price. My neighbor's Bluffs 1 got an offer at $2.39M in July, but when the Bluffs 2 listed at $2.39M a week later, it didn't get any offer. There's another Bluffs 1 (113...

I could remove listing and let it sit for a few months until things pick up, but it's unlikely that we would rent it out. It's not worth getting all the upgrades ruined/destroyed. I've had some really bad tenants that completely ruined my Lake Elsinore home.

No, I'm not reducing price. The other Bluffs 2 (smaller lot and a lot less upgrades) listed $100k below mine and it didn't get any offer either, so reducing price won't do anything. Funny thing is that they raised their listing price to match mine after almost a month and then removed listing...

No offers so far. Traffic has been slow as well. There was only one interested party, but we're out of their budget range.

But the market HAS slowed down. I listed my house late July. It's been on the market for 40 days.

PS has slowed down quite a bit, compared to EW and OH, for example. Quite a few homes in PS have been on the market more than 30 days.

Market actually slowed down June/July because people went on vacation.

Mercury insured my detached condo, not sure about attached condo, though. It doesn’t hurt to give them a call though.

Wouldn’t it just run on gas? I mean, the 12-volt battery is still there, so it should just turn into a normal hybrid, right? My Prius Prime did die when the 12-volt battery died.

The battery on my Prius Prime is getting worse and worse, but I don’t know if it’s worth spending $1k to replace it considering I’m driving like 12 miles a day.

Considering most agents would give back up to 50% of the commission from new construction, I don’t think it’s awkward to bring this up with your current agent. As for home insurance, go with Mercury. It’s less than $1000 annually. I have two homes in PS insured by Mercury, the older one around...

You misspelled MAGA.

Actually, Cielo by IP did not have stacked cabinets as standard. In the Cielo model homes, only Plan 1 has stacked cabinets. Plans 2 and 3 only have regular cabinets. And I remember talking to Azul sales lady when it was still built by IP and she said that Azul doesn't even give buyers the...

That's the main reason for my wife as well, but she also likes the look of cabinets that go to the ceiling also. There are certain upgrades that my wife is willing to pay for and stacked cabinets is one of them. The other one is waterfall island. And really nice countertops. We have quartzite...

Stacked cabinets is a must for my wife. It boggles my mind that they upgraded some cabinets to glass door and didn't do stacked cabinets.

Is this a case of money laundering or bad investment? I find it difficult to believe, though, that anyone would try to flip in the current housing market. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/125-Halworth-92618/home/182274389 Previous seller listed at $2.38M and current seller bought at $2.4M...

I went with the upgrade option with IP and I believe they used Diamond. In my new home, I decided to go with LifeSource since water softener wastes too much water. For my Eastvale home, I went with EcoWater a long time ago.
