    Mid-Upper level Gated community home - instead of selling/leasing - thinking of renting it out as a short term vacation rental

    Sounds like your mind is made up. I hope it works out for you. As for how the neighbors will feel... I'm guessing they won't like it at all. Would a gift card or use of the home for their family or friends soften the blow? Maybe, but I bet they still won't be thrilled. We spent some...

    Listing for over 1 year.

    It does look like a beautiful house, but that's sure some creative cramming to carve 4 lots out of that wedge of land. I know someone who bought a house on a somewhat similar lot. He ended up in a legal battle with his neighbors over driveway access. Looks like that shouldn't really...

    Bloodbath in Coto de Caza

    I agree about pricing ahead of the trend, especially in a down market. But the price it low realtor I mentioned above suggested we list almost 25% below the most recent comp to try and get a bidding war going. Sounded like a sure thing for her, and a gamble for us. Instead we listed...

    Bloodbath in Coto de Caza

    We interviewed a realtor who suggested the price low and hope for multiple offers / a bidding war strategy. I found it interesting from a marketing psychology perspective; but since that seemed to be her only sales tactic, I wasn't willing to play the game. Hmm... looks like Via...

    Bloodbath in Coto de Caza

    Yes, but don't forget the 15 flat screen TV's. I assume they're all included with the furniture package on the Longview listing. (where do you put 15 TV's in a 6 bedroom house anyway?) Apparently they're watching something other than economic reports on them. 2+ million is out of my price...

    Bloodbath in Coto de Caza

    Yes keep updating awgee I don't post much but I do try to keep up with this thread. BTW I'm pretty sure we looked at 26 Sawgrass way back in April 2007. We weren't interested in buying but would have considered leasing it, except for the crazy high cost of course. I'll have to see if...

    Bloodbath in Coto de Caza

    Funny you just mentioned 23301 Via Dorado. I was just checking it out before I logged on to IHB. It looks like a nice place.</blockquote> I've seen it as well. It could certainly use some updating, but really not bad overall. The garage room was interesting. Large lot, although most...

    Inventories Flat?

    Personally more specific data means a lot more to me than very general numbers ie: OC inventory as a whole. I've been getting e-mail updates for over a year now on a specific list of criteria in a specific loacation in OC and I can tell you the number of available properties this week is...
