    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    Can someone please explain this to me like I'm 5 years old? Why is lot 100 ~$600K more than lot 99? It can't be solely b/c it has one less neighbor, correct?

    October 2023 Irvine Housing Market Update

    Thanks for the detailed analysis Martin. Any thoughts on increasing pent-up demand for first time homebuyers to move-up, which might cause a surge in home listings as rates come down and those homebuyers start to see an opportunity to finally upgrade? If that were to happen, inventory levels...

    Why is GP cheaper from Price/Sqft compare to rest of Irvine

    In order to come up with the additional $7K/year in MR, you would need to have $175K invested in an investment (like a bond) that yields 4% annually. That's the general thought.

    I called the number and punched in my SCE customer account number and their automated system is indicating my account is 'already opted-out'.  Not sure how that happened.

    Arizona Real Estate (Bubble)

    The 2007/08 bubble was fueled by unqualified borrowers who obtained Option-Arm and NINA loans for little to no equity and subsequently strategically defaulted with limited consequence.  Current borrowers are more qualified, have been vetted more thoroughly by the lenders, have more equity and...

    How soon until Bitcoin crashes?

    Anybody care to venture how this will all end up in a couple years for Crypto?  I think we'll be left with two (BTC & ETH), with BTC ~ $20K and ETH ~ $1K

    I full appreciate real world application.  I just sold one rental property last month and still own another one out of state where eviction moratoriums are not so rigid.  I'm glad that you were personally able to properly navigate the past ~24 turbulent months through luck, or savvy moves...or...

    Agency Investment and Second Home lending changes.

    Massive gain in stocks is overstated, don't you think?  I don't know details of your real estate sales or stock purchases, but at a high level, the S&P 500 is up roughly ~25% since mid-2020.  I'd venture to guess the IE is up roughly ~45% during that same span.  I don't have access or time to...

    Agency Investment and Second Home lending changes.

    Just curious where LL put his sales proceeds when he sold his IE rental property in 2020, BEFORE the run-up?  Hopefully somewhere good, bc real estate might have been the best place to invest for the following 12 months.  LL might be correct about a pending home price drop in the near/mid...
