    Short Sale Pricing with the Bank

    We had made an offer on a short sale last year January of 2008 and found out 6 months later that it was approved and ready to open escrow. We didn't expect to ever get that house so we moved on. Short sales take a while. Its a very slow process but if everything works out its worth the...

    Short Sale Pricing Strategy

    So is the 399k price warranted? Or do you think it will end up in contract for more around where the other 2 are listed?

    Maybe some of you on here can help me understand a few things about short sale pricing. I have been watching the condos in Quail Hill for some time now and recently have seen a dramatic price cut in one of the units I've been looking at today. Just some background, all of these condos are...

    West Park Corte Bella, your thoughts?

    I lived in one of these for a year during college. It was a detached condo and I have to tell you that the layout sucks! Too many stairs and too many levels. The community looks great at first glance but after a while everything feels congested and tight. With the tall high buildings and narrow...

    Anyone Ever used Hire a Helper?

    When we moved from San Francisco to Irvine we used the Delancey Street Foundation. All the proceeds go to a wonderful cause and help individuals get back on their feet. I'm not sure if they operate in Orange County but its worth checking out. http://www.delanceystreetfoundation.org/

    IAC? YUCK!

    I can speak for both properties you are looking at because I used to live in Park West, or Park Watts as we used to call it in college, and my brother and sister in law live in Santa Maria. Park West is a terrible community. My car was broken into there, there were loud parties and drunken...

    59 Reunion in Quail Hill

    There are a few factors in which we (my wife and I) consider this unit to be a good value. 1. The pricing below the 2004 price and being under $300 square ft. makes this property very attractive. 2. We are very particular about what areas in Irvine we prefer to live in ie. me being a...

    Condos on "land lease"

    Thanks for your input and advice. My brother is going to contact his agent and see if he can request a copy of the lease. This approach of understanding all the contingency triggers is the right approach and do a further assessment then.
