We bought a KB Madison home. We moved in last year around November. We will be neighbors. As for the KB sales people, definitely not a friend bunch of folks. So far, we only have minor issues and they we quick on fixing them. The only thing that took a while was the wood flooring, that took...

I live in Columbus Grove. My wife and I purchased a Madison home. We are very happy to live here. It's so close to everything. We walk to lots of stuff. Here is our list of requirements when we were looking for a home. 1) SF home 2) Driveway 3) Reasonable backyard. At least...

If you read your contracts from KB Home, it will have a disclaimer that they can lower the prices of the house. Therefore, once you move in, KB Home can do whatever they want. KB only dropped the prices of the home that fell out of escrow, not the one that haven't been built. Unlike other...

The best udon, soba, and somen place in Orange county is Fukada on Irvine Center Drive near the Spectrum next to the 24 Hours fitness. They make their soba their each morning. Make sure to come early because the place gets really packed. Reasonably priced.

Anyone attending the REDC auction Sunday ? Can you please update us on the final prices on the south OC properties ? It would be interesting to see how much these properties sell for. Thanks. http://www.ushomeauction.com/auction_details.php?auctionID=H-009

I want to checkout some of these homes before they go to court. How do I go and tour them ? Do I contact the agent, the bank, the owner ? Looking for a property to invest in.

CK, Great assessment of the Irvine area and it's pricing. Even though I agree with your assessment, I don't understand the premium for Woodbury. When I was search for a home, I considered Woodbury but didn't like the compactness of the area. Majority of the homes are small and the...

I'm in the process of purchasing a new home and I got similar incentives from the builder. They said if you go through Countrywide, they would give us a $50K incentives toward closing cost and options. So we asked them if they could apply it toward the price of the home and they had no problem...

If you think new home prices will continue to go down, here are a few reasons why I think it won't go down much more. 1) New home prices are already priced lowered than comparable resale homes because the builder need to get rid of their inventories. Unlike resale owners, it cost the...

Wow, saw the Mission Viejo property you guys are talking about, I'm very surprise if this property was sold for $80.5K. It has to be a second lien or else nobody else was there at the auction. Even in that case, the bank would take it back. I can't imagine a $700K property going for $80.5K...

I went to checkout the location of this house. It's on the corner of Moffett/Harvard. You can see and hear the traffic from Harvard and hear the powerlines at nite time. I'm surprise anyone ever bought this house for 1.3 million. Maybe at 800K it would be a good deal.

Does anyone know if this is a short sale ? I can't imagine the owner willing to loose $375K in one year. Anyone know what kind of loan the owner has ?

Site idea is not new, and so far, many of the functionalities are missing. I wonder how effective this would be.

We moved into Ladera Ranch at the end of 2003. We love the neighborhood, the amentities are great, and you get a real sense of family and community there. The pace is slower, and the people are friendly. The powerlines didn't bother us since we didn't live close to any. The roundabout...

It's hard to believe but there are plenty of builders in Irvine that doesn't pay broker co-op. We were looking at new homes, and my sister is a real estate agent. We had her call all the builders and developments that we were interested in to see what they offered. Stone Manor, Campanile, Los...

One thing to consider is that many of the builder pay broker coop. They pay up to 6%. Consider taking an agent to see the house with you. Most likely, the agent can give you a big kickback. In addition, many of the builders are giving lots of discounts. See what they are offering. For...

People can easily google the full url address or just type in the name into their web browser and it would take them to this website. I bet traffic to this site is through the roof right now. Congrats.

Since the market is slow right now, many of the builders are slowing down opening new phases. They try to avoid building homes without any buyers. Ask the builder if they have any inventory homes. You have a much better leverage to negotiate with them on these homes. In addition, use a RE...

Once a house is priced and listed, does lowering the home price help sell the house ? In this market, I have notice houses that sit there tend to lower their prices over and over again, and a lot of time, the house doesn't sell. Since the the seller lower the prices, the buyer waits and expect...
