    The Landing Tustin Legacy (Brookfield Residential)

    Usually that is the case. I'm kicking myself for not buying the model in our neighborhood though. I'll get exactly what I want, but in the end I'm pretty sure it would have cost me no more to redo a few things to my preferences and it also came with a similar lot, only the pool is in...

    Housing Analysis

    as long as legislatures own real estate and rentals, don't expect to see laws making them so uncomfortable to own taxwise to increase inventory. Even letting people not pay rent during covid didn't accomplish that.

    Housing Analysis

    I know housing is a local thing, but you've got over 3 million people in the OC and very limited land left. Tay Mo raised their prices here again for the fourth time since the downturn. They have sold houses in my development like hotcakes since December and have only four spec homes left, even...

    Toyota moving to Texas

    Income tax was near the bottom of the LONG list on why we left and I don't regret leaving for one second. I only wish my daughter who lives in San Diego had left too but I can't control that.

    Vision City Church

    We used to go there when we lived in the OC. The pastor came from Calvary Chapel during the Chuck Smith era and so he drew people from all over that had been going to CCCM and his Monday Nights Live services. So............ lots of areas of the county. It's hard to maintain that group if you...

    Is there a Global Crisis on its way?

    The faster and farther rates go up, the more likely kaboom is coming. Lots of chatter about credit suisse a few months ago and I thought........ bet there is more shoes to drop. Usually the fed steps in and drops rates eventually after denying anything is really wrong. Add the OC BK to the...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    Tay Mo raising prices AGAIN tomorrow. This is the second increase in a month. And still the massive downturn never got to where I bought my houses, so I guess that is happening.......................... after they have to lower again. LOL! This is a repeat of 1981. Rates rose alot. Lots of...

    What is reasonable here?

    $600K for 3/2 unless it's a mobile home in Irvine is not going to happen. Realtors would buy the place out before it even hits the market and if not, investors would snap them up. Irvine is nearly built out as is central OC and will always be a good place to rent, imo. June move for a renter...

    Housing Analysis

    Read all the articles you want. Tay Mo NEVER dropped their prices 25% from the peak, not even close and they are selling even after they just raised. Gehan homes just raised their base prices in Phoenix area and now I see Lennar just raised great park homes. I'm looking at new homes. Resales...

    You are surely right (I jest) unless u buy into LL's scenario of prices dropping for years. If u want to really know what I think.......... u cannot have everything. If you want Irvine, u have to give up on SOMETHING and buying Lennar seems to be one option...... or pay up. What will happen...

    Still severe drought.

    We've had these periods of drought and extreme rain before.......... when we had only 10 million people in California. That's why the Santa Ana river was enlarged and that is why hoover dam was built. That's why the mayor of L.A. said if it's yellow, be mellow and if it's brown, flush it down...

    Still severe drought.

    $27 billion approved by voters in the last 20 years and nothing done about storage. Noah wasn't waiting for the rain to build the arc.

    Alot of houses don't pay mello in Irvine now. You'll always have people who look at "value" and they will be more likely to buy somewhere with no mello and the lowest price per sq foot. When things go back up, value lags in gains.

    I tried to tell him/her the negatives of those three story units and he/she promptly told me they love them and want to buy one. As for mello.......... you can't have everything in Irvine. That's why when u buy elsewhere and get all the boxes checked except for being in Irvine, you will always...
