I am browsing West Irvine for 3+ bed, 2+ bath 1750+ sq feet and no price or other restrictions. Includes house, condo, townhouse, and all forms of sale or sold for past 6 months. I get one hit: 67 Waterman. Something seems amiss. Anyone else see anything strange lately? SCHB

<p>Great walk-through of the mortgage cluster-eff by Allan Sloan.</p> <p> <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/15/markets/junk_mortgages.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2007101609">http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/15/markets/junk_mortgages.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2007101609</a></p>...

<p>I've heard a few (Gary Watts?) rationalize that since subprime is a "fraction" of the overall outstanding mortage market, we shouldn't be getting so excited (bears=hopeful) about the delinquency rates. Well, I actually remember this argument from 6 months or so ago, but JUST IN CASE anyone...

<p>Flipping through the Register this morning and saw this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thetimetobuyisnow.com/">http://www.thetimetobuyisnow.com/</a></p> <p>Wondering if the woman on the landing page is their regional sales manager</p> <p>SCHB<a...

<p>Dean Baker is extremely liberal, but was man enough to sell his residence in 2004 simply because of his belief in the bubble. Gotta admire that level of conviction (even though I don't agree with him at all on Social Security).</p> <p>He has had some great MSM commentary in the last week...

<p>The El Toro toxic plume working it's way across central Irvine has been discussed in a few (slightly too specific) threads, so I'll start a general thread and we can consolidate links here.</p> <p>Here is an article from "back east" regarding what I believe is the same solvent.</p> <p><a...

<p>872 units over last year's peak, about two months ahead of last year's peak.</p> <p><a href="http://bubbletracking.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-orange-county.html">http://bubbletracking.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-orange-county.html</a></p> <p>This game of maintaining median price on...

<p>I received this notice a while back, and registered. It turns out I have to travel this week and will not be able to attend.</p> <p><em><strong>Real Estate in 07: Bounce, Bust or Bottomed Out? The State of the Markets and What It Means for You!</strong> is scheduled for May 9 at the...

<p>I haven't seen him post in a long time after much activity in the first few months of the forums.</p> <p>Just curious.</p> <p>SCHB</p>

<p>I'm joking, of course.</p> <p>Even more reason to fear construction defects- pissed off, double-crossed tradesmen!</p> <p>This is a trade article (picked up from Ben's blog) that goes into a bit more depth than a similar article that appeared in the Register a while back. It sure smells...

<p>Drove through the Sweet Shade entrance to Columbus Grove on St. Patrick's day and along the park there was a small but noticeable picketing group with a multitude of signs pounded in the ground about William Lyin' and reminding folks to check amendment G in the Lyon standard contract.</p>...

<p>I noticed that the utterly annonying lowermybills.com dancers I see on news websites have switched from advertising subprime mortages to mail-order diplomas in the last few days...can't help but wonder if the subprime meltdown is to thank.</p> <p>Anyone else notice this? I saw this most of...

<p>Most the current streets have shown up on the map, but do not yet appear to be searchable for addresses or routeable.</p> <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=lambert+road,+irvine,+ca&z=15&om=1">http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=lambert+road,+irvine,+ca&z=15&om=1</a></p>...

<p>We have a definite troll lurking. A huge spate of "feigning enthusiasm" about several Lennar communities, complete with over the top pictures that add nothing to the content of the posts.</p> <p>Add some fake "I checked out this John Laing property and it was way overpriced" for good...
