cross post!! I barely have time to check ONE website let alone 2.  Although I made a lot of time today because I burned out early this week.

If you are going to post these can you bring in a little more information?    All these posts just look like advertisements for your blog.  Its okay to link your blog, and I don't expect you to put the WHOLE post here or anything, but enough that I get something out of it wihtout having to click...

Huh.  How come no one mentioned this to me! I barely have time to check ti anymore let alone read news dammit!  I blame YOU IHO. Buuut ...huh.  that's interesting.  I really stopped looking -I have some OLD OLD zip realty queries that shoot me emails from time to time but they are on a really...

We've been looking at the sub 400 market a lot more closely than the sub 700 market, but i was looking at homes for sale near the parents the other day and I do not recall the 3br2ba 1800 sq ft models having dropped as low as 650 but that seems to be the going rate now.    Did something happen...

IHO specificall mentions in his original post " homes that are attached and feel like condos... but are actually SFRs (some of the duplex SFRs in Woodbridge and in Northwood Pointe)." And th e driveway really seems pretty shared...its a Y. I guess you could see it as a curving driveway to my...

then wth is the difference between a detached condo and an attached sfr?!  maybe the shared driveway is split in half on a map of the lots?  My parents share a portion of the driveway (up from the sidewalk) with a neighbor and then it splits into two seperate driveways - I assume there is a line...

you've never gone anywhere but Kean down there?  You are missing out, i love that east side costa mesa area - you need to have brunch at Plums.  Hi-Times is down there as well (its like a Bev mo, but its not a bev mo, and they have a serious serious wine cellar, also the floor is overutilized...

Oh HELLS yeah its better than Corona, its freaking hot in Corona and the traffic is atrocious.  If I had to choose between only corona and Irvine I'd live in a shack in Irvine.  I HATE being hot.  The real question is whether the premium in Irvine is worth living there instead of in a nice...

Easier than quoting people... Octrends - we like Orange a lot actually, except for how hot it is and the few extra miles inland it is, its better than Irvine for us in most ways.  Never going to riverside or Fullerton thats just too far for me from work.    There are LOTS of cities in OC...

everyone knows that the  real problem with Irvine is that they don't have a good ADULT store.  And the nightlife kinda sucks, but I think that would be solved by adding a nice big conrev at the Spectrum.    It would have to be a conrev and not another store because conrev is a chain with a...

I'd write a post for you but I don't understand most of them - how are things dramatically opposite of what they appear in Irvine?  What do they appear as and what is the opposite of that?  It pretty much looks like it is to me, modern upper-middle class mostly-suburban with big high speed limit...

I think a lot of only LOOSELY related stuff gets posted in the Irvine board becuase that's the most active one..... vicious cycle.  I saw this article in my RSS feed too (on the NYT) and I honestly don't think it matters much.    All it does is say "we are still at the same place that we were...

i'm glad people are asking about insurance and HOAs because I don't understand it at ALL -- but it looks like no one else does either...  My understanding (very WEAK understanding) has so far been that the for attached stuff the HOA carries a certain amount of insurance for each...

isn't density purely about number of human beings per square foot?  That's different from "feeling" crowded.    In theory, when they plan out the community they should be planning for whatever the expected density (human beings per square foot) is and if they did a good job then its no problem...

Ah the 'old' OC vs the 'new' OC.  I am not a very sociable person in general but its really pleasant to have little casual conversations with people around you.  I ran into my mom's neighbor at the store the other day and she recognized me, I helped her carry some large items she was...

3.0 is actually kind of ...bad grades these days.  School is EASY and grade inflation is rampant.  I was a terrible freaking student in high school (used to copy AP physics and calc homework at lunch from other people) and I still turned out better grades than that.    Also the 5.0 GPA is silly...

so if the sonomas were in the 700s...does that mean that mello roos basically doubles your property tax?  14,000 for a 750k home vs 15,000 for a 1.5 million dollar home? 

I'm interested to see what it closes at too....that could have been IHO's retirement.  I bet when they sell the land for those 50 condos they can contract in that they get one as part of the sale price.  So you'd have retirement money AND a place to live. Who knows how this foreclosure thing...

Property tax....14,000....*wheeze*..... I...oh god.....*faint* That's horrible.  Oh my god. That's like, people LIVE on 14,000 a year.  *hackwheeze*

North of South Coast Plaza isn't Costa Mesa.  Its "South Coast Metro" -- its technically Santa Ana.  We did a driveby of this area on sunday, the outsides of the homes are hideously ugly (to me and my bf, if all new homes look like this then I guess some of you like them - WEIRDOS).    The...
