Did someone really get this for $728K in December and now listing for $845K? The listing doesn't incidate this is a short sale or that it went to the bank for $728K. $728K seems like it would have been a pretty good price for a relatively new Northpark home on a sizable lot. <a...

<p>Just stumbled upon this Irvine Company website that goes into great detail about the master plan. It makes for some rather interesting reading.</p> <p>http://www.goodplanning.org/index.asp</p>

Common opinion (including mine) seems to be that CFC and WM are quite likely to go busto in 2008. As such, I'm curious to hear about various investing strategies that readers might carry out to take advantage of this situation. The obvious is to short (buy puts), but my question is...

Found this site in a writeup this morning in the LA Times. Quite an interesting site with an incredible amount of home data, listings, trends, graphs, maps etc etc. Similar to redifn, but more data and tools provided, especially when you click on the detail page of individual listings. The...

I have heard a bunch of people on this forum mention Orchard Hills for 2008. Have any builders even broken ground yet on homes in this new community? Given the recent slowdown, is it actually reasonable to think that there will be homes ready for move-in in 2008? If the Irvine Company is having...
