The plan 4 on Orchid Ave which was going for $1,299,000.00 now has the sold sign in front of it. Wonder how much it went for.

If you truly have sciatic pain... 80% of people will improve on their own with conservative treatment within 4-6 weeks. If your pain goes on longer than 6 weeks, you should consult your physician who should do an MRI of your lumbar spine. More than likely you have a a disc herniation or...

congrats on your purchase where did you buy? gasj

update: We picked up our keys today and the wife is very happy. I am quite happy with our purchase and am looking forward to "feathering" the nest. BTW nice meeting you IHBers at Cantaloop's place last weekend. GasJ

When I lived in in L.A. we had 2 orange and 1 lemon trees on our property. I hated having to take care of them. The last thing you will ever see me doing on my lot is growing fruit. Therefore, it's a non-issue for us. GasJ

This has been a great thread! If you look back on my older posting from earlier this year, you'll see that I proposed this same question for another house with the same floorplan. You guys convinced me to wait and so I did. So now, we ended up getting a better lot, better elevation, and more...

We are in need of a quality landscape designer for a new home that needs frontyard and backyard (hard and soft scapng). I hope those are the right terms. Can anyone make a recommendation of someone they have had a good experience with? I've had plenty of bad experiences with contractors in...

Thanks everyone for the advice. We feel alot more comfortable moving forward with this purchase. My wife and I have backed out of 3-4 properties already over the past two years and havent regretted it one bit. I think this is the one we have been waiting for. I was at the models again today...

One thing... the $200k price drop was for a larger model that is less popular because the floor plan sucks. They have not had any trouble selling the units with the floor plan we chose. I think that is why they are willing to let us out because they are sure they can sell this floor plan.

No, not Villa Rosa, although we did look there. Wasnt too crazy about those floor plans but for the price I think they are a decent deal. I'll let you know which one it is as soon as we close... since all is still not set in stone. GasJ

Wow, thanks for all the great advice. I know most on this forum are bears as I am too regarding the market. However my wife and I have been looking for a home for over two and a half years now and we have seen every floor plan out there in the areas we are considering. We are so happy we...

I signed a purchase agreement for a home with a builder. They are aware my financing is all in line and approved. In the meantime, they have dropped the price on the larger model homes. Am I obligated to buy the house at the agreed price or do I still have some room to renegotiate the purchase...

hey cantaloop, I was the guy that was there at the same time as you... yeah, my wife and I only liked the plan 3. 1.3-1.5 mil... would probably prefer a house in woodbury or quail hill for that amount. however, i really think they did a good job on the plan 3 with the pool and landscaping. I...

Thanks for all the advice so far. I do have the 20% to put down. However, it seems that it's standard that you have to show that you have not changed your employment status for two consecutive years. I even called Countrywide directly to see if they could do it. Of course they said they have...

My wife and I have been renting for 2 years now since we moved back to California from the midwest. I put in an offer for a house today in Irvine which is new construction. I spoke to the in-house lender and she said that we could not qualify because I dont have 2 years history of income as a...

Plan 4 is sweet! however, more than we are willing to pay at this time. We are considering a plan 3. Remember, this area is about a mile north of Jamboree so it feels distant to the rest of the VoC (Columbus Grove). The surrounding areas are not as nice as the Columbus Grove area...

Hello all, I am considering purchasing a plan 3 for $999,000 with a 20% down and they give $70,000 in incentives. My wife and I can afford the monthly payment easily. Lennar is promising a really good 30 year fixed interest rate for this development only. My wife is very particular about the...

well, we decided to wait a while and see what happens. Thanks for all the advice though! GasJ

Thanks for the comments guys! I have some serious thinking to do tonight. Gas

I have been reading this forum for quite some time and it seems the general sentiment is that prices will continue to drop. I like a home in VOC - Ciara (William Lyons) that is about 4200 sq ft. They are asking around $1.3m for it. It was priced over $1.4 about 6 months ago. There are only 2...
