...according to the Irvine Co's website. I remember when the sign out in front of the grading project said "Coming Fall 2007" Seems like the Irvine Co doesn't think high-end demand is coming back anytime soon. http://www.villagesofirvine.com/Village-Living/Laguna-Crossing.aspx ^ <a...

Bravo, bkshopr! Very funny. BTW, the house looks a lot worse than that now. The yard hasn't been maintained in at least a year. The redfin notes indicate that the house a short sale, and it doesn't show up as bank owned, but nobody has lived there for a long time. I don't know why it...

FWIW, last year it was unusual to see more than 1-2 freestanding houses in foreclosure in QH (excluding Tall Oak, Canopy and similar "mid range" freestanding houses). Now, we are seeing 5-6 at a time. If this trend holds, it appears the foreclosure trend is accelerating in the higher end of...

I don't live in QH any longer, so I don't follow as closely. But I was there recently and drove by 51 Momento, which looks like it finally sold in some kind of short sale. It was scheduled for Trustee's Sale regularly for over a year (you can find some of the history if you search the Forum...

FWIW, I've been told that 4 and 7 are unlucky because the written characters resemble the character for "death." It's been a long time since I read any Kanji, but as I recall there is a passing resemblance. On the other hand, anecdotal evidence can become an urban legend; witness the...

Now the story is getting interesting. What's going on there? Inquiring minds want to know.

Just noticed that 29 Mahogany, which Irvine Renter has profiled a few times, is in foreclosure now. According to Realty Trac, the Notice of Trustee's Sale was issued on January 23. Here is one of IR's posts profiling the property...
