It's impossible to give you a complete answer without doing a full medical history and allergy testing to see what it is you are allergic to. The short answer is that most of Southern California has much of the same airborne pollen and mold counts and distribution. Sometimes people will say they...

Like I said in an earlier post, this has been done before in identically-sized lots in the same development by the same builder and some people just preferred the lane-loaded look and some people didn't. One thing I didn't like about the lane-loaded homes is that they had a shorter setback from...

Um, ok. 92602.

Hi everyone, Been busy for a bit as I've sold my North Orange County home (thanks Scott!) and am almost done on closing on a home in Irvine. I just wanted to jump into this discussion and point out that BK's assumptions on what can and can not be achieved with regards to land use/floorplans...

"Those aren?t necessities. Those are luxuries. Last time I checked, you didn?t need any of those things. I expect luxuries to depreciate quickly. " Um, how do you define luxuries? You don't need anything but the most basic shelter, water, and food. Do you stay in a 2 or 3 bedroom...

"A wise man told me early in my career ?Buy things that appreciate, RENT things that depreciate?." That wise man was spouting nonsense. Do you rent or lease your home furnishings/furniture? How about any fine jewelry? Your TV? The wheels on your car? These are all things that are easily...

"You probably won?t find a main hub university less than 70 years old amongst them, nor many particular programs much less than 40 years old." This is generally true, but not entirely. UCSD, which is, for all intents and purposes, the same age as UCI, ranks much more highly in multiple...

Nah, Panda is as good as top hedge fund managers and can guarantee greater than 7% ROI after taxes. :D

"Both Cal Tech and Harvey Mudd do not have graduste programs while the larger schools offer advance degrees." True of HMC, but not of Cal Tech (http://www.gradoffice.caltech.edu/).

There are a few reasons to want your home to appreciate in value. 1) You plan on or want the leverage of being able to withdraw equity through refinancing or adding liens 2) You plan on selling and downsizing or moving to a different location with different market values 3) You already...

"In 99 years, like Jesus, he is going to rise from the dead and take back all the land in Irvine." LOL

According to the latest U.S. Census data available that I'm aware of (2006), approximately 2% of households make $250k or more. Here is the link:http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032007/hhinc/new06_000.htm

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/9-Hibiscus-92620/home/5769773 In case it gets edited or the link is broken, I've copied and pasted the best part of it here. Actually, that's most of the description anyway. "More upgraded than the Taj Mahal and the Cistine Chapel combined. Slate and...

Awgee, arguing with Ipo over YOY vs. month-to-month is pointless. Ipo values month-to-month because he is close to purchasing a home, as soon as it reaches the price point he agrees with. This is the same situation I am in, as well as over a dozen people that I know personally. Analyzing YOY is...

Supply blah blah blah, demand blah blah blah. I think, Ipo, that a lot of the posts on this thread are off-topic. The topic is *what is going into escrow in Irvine and Tustin*. The point of this thread is to obtain, as much as feasible, up-to-date pricing data on these areas and not to, as many...
