    Johns Creek ranks #1 Best Place to Live by U.S. News & World Report

    In the longer term, Irvine will outperform any city in GA because Irvine is landlocked and almost out of buildable land where you can keep on building and building in GA with all that flat land.

    Question for real estate investors

    I tell all my investor clients, the best bang for the buck nowadays is a 3-bedroom DETACHED property in most part of South OC. You'll get no Mello Roos and very reasonable HOA with good potential appreciation as long as you buy in "B" or better schools areas. And I put my money where my mouth...

    New Listing - Single Family Home in Rancho Mission Viejo (653 Longhorn Way)

    The transaction closed last week on Friday. The adjusted sales price was $1,125,000 but the actual recorded closing price was $1,100,000 as the Buyer was also the Buyer's Agent and used his $25,000 commission to reduce the price to $1,100,000. Congrats to the Buyer and Seller.

    Yeah, he's in his 70s so even some things can escalate to bigger things quickly. I was able to spend some quality time with him while he was going through his treatments and recovery and plan to see him more often. Thankfully my mom and step dad are very healthy and live close by in Irvine.

    New Listing - Single Family Home in Rancho Mission Viejo (653 Longhorn Way)

    The crazy thing is that fire insurance wasn't too crazy for the home (less than $3,000/yr).

    New Listing - Single Family Home in Rancho Mission Viejo (653 Longhorn Way)

    They feel similar to motorcourt homes with driveways in Irvine. There was plenty of parking on the street when I was there. I took both the toll road and Ortega Hwy to the 5 and did not encounter a lot of traffic.

    No offense to Panda, but you couldn't pay me enough to move to Georgia or anywhere in the Southeast. If I end up moving anywhere later it'll be to Nevada or Arizona.

    Fortunately he's all better now and my full focus can get back onto real estate.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    You aren't alone, I've had a few of his former clients contact me. He also had very shady tactics when I submitted offers on a few of his listings over the years as a buyer's agent.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Summers are typically the worst time to sell in my opinion, I've had the most success listing homes in Jan-Mar.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    That's not just delusional, that's beyond crazy. It's overpriced by at least $2m.

    They'll need to be cutting prices if they want to sell homes.

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    But 125 Drumbeat (same floor plan) closed for $450k more in August. Interesting market to say the least.

    Buying as investment

    Life happens and my father got sick earlier this year so my focus was on helping him get better since I'm the only child and he lives alone in Las Vegas. Now that he's doing well I'm getting back into the swing of things. I'll provide an update on the Irvine market through September later on...

    BBB - taxes on overtime

    CA has rules about what job function/responsibilities qualify for an hour job and which are required to be salaried. Start there first.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    They are smoking crack if they think they'll get around $1,500/sf for that home.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    You can see a lot with many Chinese agents. Guess they can't afford to pay $500-800 for photography plus drone pictures. It'll cost the seller multiples on the sales price. I would be pissed if I were a seller to see those kind of pictures of my listing.
