    Northwood Pointe: Arden Square--What's It Worth?

    We saw this property at one of their open houses. The reason for the discrepancy according to the Realtor is that they had it appraised and the appraiser listed it at 2400 sq/ft. Overall, it was a nice house and was a bit larger than other similar homes nearby (larger downstairs) but one of the...

    OK, this was unexpected..... give me your opinion.

    I think you guys made the right decision. We took a look at 179 Intrigue which was a Plan 3 and sold at $705K (short sale). It was a little beat up and was missing all the appliances (stove, oven, dishwasher, etc.) but it still was decent at $650K we thought. We also have a little guy...

    Should she stay or should she go?

    First off, yes, definitely dump the agent. What is the use of getting a discount back from the agent if you never get an accepted offer? I agree with cl1. Do your research (recent comps, personal valuations) and establish your price range. If this is your dream house, add a bit of a markup...

    Which house in Irvine would you buy?

    Im with IR. As long as it has a decent driveway and I would be fine (with street parking and NO parking permits required). Plus with the garage up front (even compared to port cochere), the house probably has a larger backyard. Unfortunately, in Irvine, you often get neither the decent...

    Does anyone have the latest Foreclosure map in Quail Hill?

    We like Quail Hill too but are there any areas that are under $1m with atleast a small yard vs only a courtyard? Or is that too much to ask for still? :-)

    New Flip with 11 Montage?

    Curious to see what anyone to dig up or guess on 11 Montage. Redfin shows that it was "sold" for $600K in Dec 2008 and is now for "sale by owner" at $739K. Did the "owner" buy at an auction? http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/11-Montage-92614/home/4662684

    Has anyone else found it effective to use a real estate agent to find a rental?

    I think there may be folks like me that are looking to move up while still keeping their current residence. In this day and age, even with Craigslist, I think you need to make sure of the folks that lease your "baby" are good folks. To do that, you need good guys like IrvineRealtor to watch...

    Woodbury - Stonetree Manor

    Drove by 120 Spanish Lace today. IMO, its in an odd location deep set at the end of the cul-de-sac. No real parking for guests. It also has an earlier phase of Stonetree so it doesnt look as attractive in front (IMO). Can't believe it was at $933.5K!? Besides the price (bidding war maybe?)...
