I don't even know if they even submitted architectural review since the landscapers started working as soon as they closed escrow.

I agree, which is why I thought it was hilarious that the Olivewood home was considered "reasonably" priced when these are better priced, but still overpriced.

Supposedly, you can paint it white if your stucco color is white. Basically, it's allowed as long as it matches your stucco color. But the 111 Orbit shouldn't be allowed since it doesn't match the stucco color.

Just a note, home value has absolutely nothing to do with insurance premium. It's the replacement costs that determine the premium. Basically, a 2600 sf home in Irvine would cost less than a 3300 sf home in Riverside, for example. Before I moved to Irvine, the premium for my 3309 sf home in...

Also, if we're talking about completely new construction, Shea just released phase 14 and their Plan 1: Lot 86 (138 Drumbeat), 3225 sf home on a 6109 sf lot: $3,254,100. We're talking about roughly same size home (except Cielo Plan 1 has high ceiling on top of that), but 6109 sf lot vs 3825 sf...

Stop spreading misinformation about the landfill smell in PS. The smell blows toward Eastwood and Stonegate, not PS. The Santa Ana wind blows west and southwest and PS is mostly south (and even southeast) of the landfill.

A couple of things to consider. Living there and sending kids to school there is a bit different. For families with kids in K-8 school age, this should not a present a problem...yet. By the time their kids go to Portola High, the toxic soil may no longer be a problem. For us, buying in PS is...

I pointed that out. They'll be using $1400-$1600/sf, which comes out to about $7.5M to $8M. There's no way they can do close to a $10M comp, though.

The best case for a comp would be price per sq ft, and the current rate for all new homes or resales with view is $1400-$1600/sq ft. So the best TB can do for their view lots (not normal homes) is $7.5M to $8M range. TB is smart enough to know that no one is going to buy at $10M. Also, right...

Aren't the TB homes in OH4 much larger than Evergreen at The Meadows? Evergreen homes are 3400 to 3700 sq ft while OH4 will be up to 5000 sq ft.

I know you were doing that. That's what I stated. I was pointing out that 110 Nest Pine is 7000 sq ft home sitting on a 0.33 acre lot, with 4 car garage. TB can't comp that home against their 5000 sq ft homes with 2 car garage.

You get Google Fiber in PS, $70 for 1Gbps. ;)

Yoda was referring to OH4, and that biggest TB homes in OH4 are going to be around 5000 sq ft.

This one is a 7000 sq ft home with 4 car garage. Even the Toll Brothers homes at the top aren't close to this size.

I believe that the builder warranty comes with the house, so it should transfer to the new owner. Some of these are FCB investors, so they depend on their agents for the walk-through and such. Some agents do a good job with that. The agent selling 134 Hyperion had previous made Youtube videos...

Yeah, this one isn't going to sell at this price. This is practically the WORST home in the entire community, being a Plan 1 with the smallest lot. We were offered this one back in April last year by IP at $2.5M, but they changed bath 3 to shower instead of bath 2 (that we wanted) in builder's...

The $3.25M is due to the extra $300k for lot size premium . I think the starting price is around $2.9M, if the lot size is below 6000 sq ft. In the July release, Plan 2 with 7828 sq ft lot went for $3.35M.

SFR new constructions in PS have various lot sizes, depending on community. Olivewood homes have really tiny backyards. Most of them are 3600 to 3800 sq ft lots (5-8 ft to back wall). Except for a few homes, all are below 4000 sq ft lots. I've heard that Olivewood is a copy/paste of Strada and...

OH has quite a bit of location premium over PS. Ravello costs almost $1M more than Cielo. And KB Home's Fresco, which is a lot smaller than Cielo, costs as much as Cielo. Whether or not this premium is worth it, who knows.
