    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    You could do an agreement outside of escrow. Would you be violating the terms of your lender's agreement? Most probably.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Yeah - the listing agent was clearly lying. They aren't going to get $2.85m. The house looks much better in pictures and doesn't show as well.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I visited this one over the weekend. It does back up onto the toll road and you can hear it from inside the house. It sounds like the listing agent was telling visitors that the toll road isn't as busy on the weekdays and it won't be an issue. The upgrades are decent but the house has definitely...

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Holding off on their surveys is not a bad idea. They will call you periodically to remind you - at which point you can voice any concerns you have. They will quickly attempt to address it.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    The one on Meander is a bit unique in the sense that the seller wants a 2-year lease back. This is likely why it's priced lower.

    F.D.A. advisers recommend that the agency authorize vax for 6 mos - 4/5 yr olds

    I have a 20-month-old and will not be vaccinating my toddler. Both my wife and I are vaccinated as well as our extended families. Vaccinating our little one seems a bit excessive at this point - even if the data above was more convincing.

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    HOA approval is required at multiple communities in Irvine, including Eastwood Village. Will most boards and property management companies look the other way - likely yes. But, per the bylaws, you can still be written up for it.

    Any Ooni Owners Here?

    I have an Ooni. I recommend making your own pizza dough:https://feelingfoodish.com/the-best-new-york-style-pizza-dough/ It's easy and it tastes amazing. Same for pizza sauce: just get a can of good quality diced tomatoes, and sautee with garlic. Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. There...

    New communities in Portola Springs

    It'll be interesting to see how these sell. I'm guessing Azul and Cielo will start in the low-$2m's and Fiore in the mid-to-high $1m's. The first few phases will go fast - but will we return to the days of 2018 where each phase takes a little longer to sell with lender and design center credits...

    Hako, irvine

    Just had Hako for lunch. They have daily specials - Tuesday is the Hako Katsu. I think it's $2 off.

    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    Not unusual for the price increase. It's likely because they've reached another phase in construction and IP Sales Office selected upgrades - which they've added into the sale price.

    New Listing - Corte Bella Plan 2 detached condo @ Orchard Hills (101 Mustang)

    I actually don't think that's true. There are no newer SFR's in Irvine that are priced the same or cheaper than a detached condo.

    I was at Ravello today and I thought I saw that the view lots were in the $4m range. Maybe those are for the models...not sure.

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

    What's the ratio of people going with ARM's now? I imagine ARM's are very attractive over a 30-yr fixed at sub-5%.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    The majority of those you listed were flipped into Active Under Contract status (accepted offer, with contingencies). For whatever reason, Redfin/Zillow show that as "Relisted" rather than just a move from Active to Under Contract. There were 2 that did have price reductions and frankly not...
