Who's your friend?  I'd like to talk to them and see if I can get a rate like that.  We are about 45 days to closing and I'm shopping rates.

Can you also refer your home inspector to me as well?  I think we'd like one done prior to close of escrow as well.

Someone told me that it's called NorthWEED High.

What if I'm from Utah and my wife was 16 when my baby was conceived? <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

One of my friends said that all his coworkers who work in the RF lab all have daughters. Seems like EMF kill the Y sperm. Scuba - do you have a boy or girl?

Hook me up on the furniture connection, too! We've been doing the Fountain Valley cheap furniture stores shopping, Easy life, living spaces, etc., but man... furniture does add up.

Dining table or Dining room? Bleh... Who ever eats on a dining table anymore? In today's lifestyle, heck, I'd be happy if I even got a plate. Im used to eating food from a top of a pizza box while sitting on the couch watching TV. Ahhh.. the good ol days. But to BK's point, for the...

Which Plan are you talking about here?

I remember someone from IHB making the famous quote (which I've never forgotten). PS is like the IE of Irvine.

This week all the buyers of Carmel Phases 1 - 3 (that's right they're already on Phase 4 now) gathered to meet the construction manager, bank lender, and other buyers/neighbors. With all this talk about Asians, come to think about it, the room was filled with them. My best estimates are that...

Wow - I just came back from the Spectrum. Avatar 3-D is amazing. I think this movie ranks as one of the best movies I've seen. Aside from the awesome special effects, it had a strong story line and moral. (Although one of my friends made a comment about it being another movie in which a white...

Let me know about your experience. We're considering having a home inspector walk our home with us prior to the "Acceptance' from the builder.

Maybe we should start a Tip thread to see what people usually leave. Personally I usually leave at least 15%, but that's based off the Sub-Total or Pre-tax. My wife on the other hand likes to tip on-top of the tax.

I'm trying to minimize the amount of builder options for exactly that reason. I don't want to pay extra 'recurring' costs on a higher purchase price. Also I've heard that the builder sometimes charges 3x actual cost. So I'll have to GC our house and pull contractors to do most of the upgrades...

Panda, I think the price is just right considering some of the design features they include. Also we've been watching the resale market, and some of the sellers are still smoking crack. Some are asking for over $365/sq ft. For brand new I can get something cheaper even with landscaping. I...

I used to monitor and occasionally post on IHB. After the transition, I got lazy and never created an account on TI. There's one last phase of Villa Rosa left. You're absolutely right that we could have leverage Carmel to get Lennar at a lower price. But even negotiating with Lennar, we...

I ate at the Veggie Grill (Spectrum) for the first time last week. My wife signed us up for their customer program and they sent a free entree postcard. Best part about the birthday postcard? It not only covers the entree, but a side and a drink. What would have been a $14 bill for one...

Dear former IHB'ers and Talk-Irvine people, I can't believe it. I pulled the trigger. Yesterday Mrs. Cantaloop and I signed the paperwork and funded the bank for the 3% deposit. While I don't think we got a great deal, I do think that it was a fair deal (based on today's market). Base...
