What happened to the 'Thank you'? 1 minute it was there, next it was replaced by '{if has_thanks} {/if} ' and now is has vanished? Am i seeing things (or not seeing things)?

When I first started looking for a house I decided that the house had to be in Irvine since it has the good schools (not that other areas don't) and because this is where I work. I have been on the side lines waiting for 2 years I am beginning to lose my patience so I have expanded my...

How can I find out from a street address which school(s) my kids can go to?

What is North Tustin like? This place is quote funky. Is it over-priced since I dont know that area very well. Also, where does Santa Ana end and Tustin begin? Is North Tustin in Santa Ana? The URL for this house says Santa-Ana but the address is North Tustin - hence the confusion <a...

Reduced the price by $1K <a href="http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/67-Ashcrest-92620/home/4789173">The house</a> Why waste their/our time? The house is priced at least $100K too high. In my opinion it makes them look pathetic. Your thoughts?

I am considering catching a falling knife. I am not suicidal so I want the knife to be blunted. There is a property that has just become bank owned. Is it worth contacting the bank and purchasing it directly from the bank before it goes on the market, is it even possible, and how do I...

Now that the government effectively own F/F (at least temporarily). How will this affect the ability of people to get mortgages? Easier/harder? Also, are the fees likely to change and/or mortgage rates?

2 houses put on the market on the same day. From the look of it both have identical plans and are just one street away from each other. I would be seriously p*&%$#d if that house was undercutting me by 200K, but if I was drinking from their Kool aid I probably wouldn't even notice the other...

I heard (or read - can't remember which) that some banks are now going directly to realtors and their houses are not being entered into the MLS system (this is probably nothing new to the knowledgeable people on this forum). My question is, where do we find out about these houses since I...

I am curious about the quality of houses during boom/bust. Is the quality of building bad when the boom is occurring since the builder is stretched thin or is the quality bad during a bust when a builder cuts corners due to finances?

We recently moved into the Northpark community. I am looking for a reputable pre-school for my 3 year-old daughter in the Irvine area. Since she has never been to school and the only time she is away from us is with our family, we want to start her on a part-time basis (2-3 mornings per week)...

I'm new to the US and I have found a house that I like (REO). The description of the house contains 'sold as is'? What does this mean?

I need to purchase a house in Irvine (may put in a very low offer or just rent for 9 months - have yet to decide). I sold my house in the UK earlier this year and I now have lots of pounds lying in my bank account. Should I bring that money over to the US? Currently the exchange rate is...
