Thanks, I've sent you a PM.

I'd called Nelson last week to set up an appointment for this Thursday. He had said he would call this Wednesday to confirm, did not get the call. So called today morning to check if he is coming and he had totally forgotten about the appt. So I cancelled and I am looking for someone else. If...

I am not sure of the details, we haven't actually signed the papers, just put a holding deposit, lease starts end of this month. I can give you an update at that time. We were planning to get a shorter lease this time as our plans for next year are kind of fluid. We asked about the lease...

Looks like IAC changed its terms on lease break. We just signed up for a 12 month lease and they said there's no lease break fee if you buy a house and move out.

Before the point that I want to convey is lost in my rant, let me state that first. If anybody is considering moving into an IAC complex, when you first go there they'll give you a form to fill out which asks something in the lines of "How did you find us?" Always put a referral to someone...

<blockquote>While the info you posted is public record, we here at IHB like to not post the owner?s name. </blockquote> From where do I get this info? I'm facing stiff resistance from my husband in moving into another apartment. We've already given notice at our current place but...

We checked out Santa maria yesterday, 3 bedroom apts have a good layout but it's a little congested, so probably will not go for it. We went to the neighbouring Santa Rosa too, overall that complex was more appealing, lots of activities for kids etc, three bedroom townhomes are very spacious...

Thanks for the info. That was really helpful, I was planning to opt for the other schools, but now probably will consider this. We are from India so the long break is good for a vacation to India. Anyways, plan to check out Santa Maria and San Carlo villa this weekend. If we do pick San Carlo...

Thanks CK. I didn't see the listing on craigslist for 2500, but can probably check with the leasing office. Apart from that I didn't know there was something called year round schools, I just checked and found that plaza vista is also year round. The calendar for year round schedule looks...

Hi, I'm finally tired of waiting for the irvine home prices to come down, planning to rent for some time before we buy. I was checking craigslist today and found Santa Maria listing 3bed/3bath for 2565. Was wondering if anyone could point me to a good deal. I have a 5 year old who will be...

"It is much more difficult to be admitted into UCI today than it was 10 years ago. I think the acceptance was around 75% in 1997, but is only around 55% in 2007." What does that mean? I'm sorry, I'm not well versed on the school system here, does that mean 55% of University kids are...

just wanted to revive this topic since I'm looking for the same thing. We've a four year old and a baby is on the way. The place where we are renting currently(not Irvine) is extremely good for kids. I am tempted to rent here forever without buying :) as my son has lots of friends to play with...

what is wrong in being a little cheap to save up for the downpayment for that million dollar home. :)

I'm wondering why no one has mentioned university high. Greatschools.net shows it has higher rating and score that northwood, but when I check the house prices around it the house prices does not seem to be as high as other parts or Irvine. Is it because these are older houses?

Digital federal Credit Union - www.dcu.org - has a first time home buyers program with an APY of 5.5%. https://www.dcu.org/prodserv/savings/american_dream_program.html Max. Acct balance is 25K. As someone had posted earlier they give good mortgage rates too.

Would anyone know why this is on the market now for $465k, it was sold in Oct 07 for $486K http://orange.yahoo.prucalrealty.net/details/start.aspx?Results=true&propid=008Mc08008466&mode=Search http://www.trulia.com/homes/California/Irvine/sold/784959-802-Terra-Bella-Irvine-CA-92602. I...

That's probably true, the houses that I'm looking at are overpriced and nobody's buying. I saw one being reduced from 600 to 450 and it went into escrow in 2 days. That made me wonder will all the nearby sellers follow suit and lead to a bidding war. :) but so far no one else has reduced.

I've been reading this forum for some time, all the posts are very informative and has been instrumental in holding me back from buying too soon. I've kept my range at 500k and when I check the houses I see the smaller ones still at > 400/sq.ft. Is there any reason why these are not going down...
