oh darn, irvine isn't numero uno.

place was packed today and scorching hot. i suspect people just wanted to check it out for some free food and stuff. not sure how anyone could live in homes built out there.

OC Register update: now it is 2 spots of origin instead 3, with evidence to prove that the fire was caused by arson. Reward up to $150k now. That's a nice "little" start for a down payment :)

People from Woodbury are evacuating now.

I've seen all the For Sale signs on Alevera St, and it just looks ugly. There must be around 6-7 signs... if you are a potential buyer, you gotta be wondering why everyone wants to sell, while you would be moving into the neighborhood.

Can't go wrong with IKEA. Very high quality furniture and you can put together yourself.

Invite for the "private preview" was Thursday night. The official grand opening is Sat and Sun. More attached homes...

<p>Starting high $500s... still overpriced for attached homes. </p>

On a side note, while commuting to work the other day, I saw a car with the words IRVINE-SUCK.COM, in big white lettering on the rear windshield. I expected it to be some site detailing all of the negatives of the city, but it looks to be some kid's blog. Odd.

that would be Village of Columbus or VoC for short.... not a TIC village. some crazy traffic with the new shopping center over there on barranca and jamboree.

<p>Laing_Lies, Just curious, I know people who have good experiences buying a home from John Laing homes. Is there a particular story behind your screen name? </p>

<p>Belle Cliff are $1mil + homes. What they're doing isn't uncommon for new high end homes. If you ask me, it's smart on their end to require these deposits. </p>

yeah you have to be careful of the "manager special" items. you have to inspect them carefully because they are usually expired or about to expire. i happen to like that empty ralphs... no crowds, no lines... also love those 10% off and $5 off coupons in the mail!

uh so on brighter note, what did everyone think of the free samples? it really seemed like many employees were still learning everything on the fly... took a while to get my drink from coffee bean... when i asked a server what the recipe, he was clueless... prices were actually not too bad, not...

<p>i live in a 2/2.5 detached condo approx 1200 sq ft with 2 floors... the washer and dryer are located in a small corner of the garage. i have to squeeze through between shelves of storage and our car to get to it. it's a bit inconvenient but gotten used to it now. sure it would be nice...

hey awgee... No anger here, just anxious to buy my first home. I can't afford that subscription fee right now because I need to save up every penny right now so I can purchase my dream home for around $200k. Even if it takes 10, 20, 30 years... I'll wait it out. This blog has given me new hope...

<p>tyler... You mentioned on another blog talking about $500k houses, and your quote is: <em>"Buying a home right now entails large amounts of risk, in this case the risk of losing 200k~300k" </em>I was just going by your statement there. How about an older 3/2 single family home...

<p>Damn really? I thought we were all housing bears here. It's going to happen eventually, with all I've read on this blog, all the charts and statistics. Give me a timeframe. </p>

<p>hey raymond, cool blog... i like the tech related stuff in there too. i tried starting a blog a while back but didn't have the time to keep updating it with new content. </p>

Hmm, only a studio... I'll wait it out for a nice 3 bedroom single family house, preferably with a kitchen island and a jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. Keep 'em coming, thanks again.
