    Orange County Auto Show $3 discount

    I usually go to this show when I'm shopping for a new car since there is no sales pressure, I can see all brands (even exotic race cars) in one place and I can take my time checking out the interiors. It's Oct 15-18 Thu-Sun (starts tomorrow) at the Anaheim Convention Center, for more...

    Favorite Irvine Floorplan?

    Now that IR2 has updated his site to include all of the Irvine floorplans, I wanted to find out which ones you like. Trying to ignore location, elevetion and age, I want to focus on what internal features you like about a floorplan. I'll start... it's a newer one and although located...

    Ideal Home Brokers?

    I don't read the main blog enough so I don't know if there has been an official announcement (I've seen references on the birthday post and other ones), but I've noticed the changes. Most of the information stuff like the new calculator (alas... the IHO calculator has been retired *sniff*)...

    Homework?

    I don't know if this goes here or the Schooling thread but I was wondering if any of you remember when you first started getting homework. My 1st grader started homework this week and as I'm going over this with her last night, I'm feeling a bit irritated because I don't think it's fair for...

    SoCal78 Promotion?

    I just noticed she's not a mod in the Schools and Parenting forum anymore... She's a mod in ALL the forums!!! We both joined the IHB around the same time a year ago so I just wanted to congratulate her and let the powers that be know they made a great decision.

    Garage Storage Referrals

    So I'm thinking about adding those units that hang from the ceiling in the garage. I see fliers in the mail for it and am wondering if anyone has used one of these companies or if they can recommend anyone. Also, how is your experience with this type of storage? (and I half...

    KDAY is back!

    Back in the day, KDAY on AM was one of the only stations to play urban hip hop music (it's where I first heard "Electric Kingdom")... and now they finally switched back to those roots yesterday. Am I the only IHBer who remembers KDAY... and can truly kick it old school?

    Main Blog Discussion: Bottom or Bear Rally 8/13/09 (AKA The FCB Theory)

    How are Irvine homes selling?

    Most topics seem to approach Irvine RE from the buyer's point of view but I was wondering if anyone out there (realtors, homeowners, REO-related) can tell us how sales of Irvine homes are going. usctrojanman gave us some perspective from his KCs... err... buyers... but what about sellers...

    Quail Hill mid-high end foreclosures

    I've been watching graph post those cool ForeclosuresAreGoingToEatYourBabiesRadar.com images for Quail Hill... yet until now... I don't see the mid/higher end ones actually hitting the market all that much. Maybe I'm missing something... or maybe I'm too impatient but why haven't all those...

    When is the "right" age to have kids?

    I know this might be a hot topic for some but it seems to me (or maybe it's just me), that most of my generation had kids later than my parents' generation. While that may signal more responsibility or preparedness before starting a family, I also feels that detracts from being able to...

    Rental parity on a 4/3 SFR?

    So one of the big things that hit me when I first started posting on IHB was the concept of rental parity. The cliffnote version is that it didn't make sense to buy if you could rent for less and when those two figures came close, that could signify a time to consider purchasing. I did...
