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

    Let’s be honest and objective though, buying at the peak of a market cycle is not exclusive to Irvine like you’re trying to imply. There’s a macro cooldown of most housing markets right now. Someone eventually buys the top and will feel buyer’s remorse if they have too short of a time horizon...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Checked out Kinaree Eatery today for their grand opening special (50% off dine-in). It was very good overall as far as the 3 dishes my spouse and I tried - Braised Pork (was tender, not dried out), Softshell Crab with curry (abit strong on the powder taste would be my critique), and House...

    Question for real estate investors

    And as a fix & flip, I saw 2 nearby comps that are listed at $650k and $660k, respectively… I don’t know that one would come ahead on rehabbing that place then reselling considering the agent fees, renovation costs probably would exceed $100k

    Question for real estate investors

    Oh man, looks like the HOA is doing a poor job of managing exterior of that community. There’s some serious TLC needed inside and out. As a rental, I don’t see how this cash flows. Just look at the assumptions below, that don’t even factor in vacancy, repairs, capital expenditure costs, so...

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    I’m sure at that price point people can easily pay for better soundproofing of windows, etc if not already.

    Buying as investment

    Look at stock market now! All-time high after all-time high since February of this year. Many deep discounts were had in 2022, especially on Mag7 stocks. Most of them are now baggers or even multibaggers ever since.

    Same here, except in call options 80c expiring December 19 this year. Following some big money player with close to $7m position on it that they opened today.

    The Asian Population in Irvine in Percentage wise Peaked at 45.6% and then stayed stagnant for the last 15 years. Why?

    I almost moved to the Cypress new build off of Katella 2 years ago, but the major drawback for my current situation was the community there did not have a park within walking distance. It was appealing to be have Oxford Academy in proximity or even Cypress High for the kiddos in the future, but...

    The IUSD education

    I know of one elementary school in Irvine that closed some years ago, El Camino Real Elementary off of Yale/Walnut. Speculating that it was declining enrollment from all of the kids that grew up, moved away, and never came back with kids of their own, long-time residents who stayed put into...

    The IUSD education

    Downey is near top of payscale for teachers right? Much better than LAUSD payscale from what I’ve heard.

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

    May I ask for the lenders contact? Waiting for a drop to sub 5.75% for 30-year refi.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    Cellphone listing photos strike again. Rather small lot size for that price point in addition to the previous critiques.

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    Mountain view there is rather underwhelming.

    New Gateway Village (next to landfill), between The Summit @ Orchard Hills, Across Stonegate

    Probably because its impact on traffic seems more tangible being so central as opposed to Gateway Village being on the northern outskirt of town.
