    Need advice on Portola Springs - 25 Conservancy - Short sale

    Seller/lender will not cover any repair on a short sale.  You buy the home "as is".  You may want to check if there is any delinquent HOA, tax, or other liens too since you will be responsible for those costs if the lender doesn't cover them (most of the time they don't cover).  Is the home...

    The Oaks at Portola Hills

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    IHS, did you design CalPac's Mericort?  We used to live in Plan 4 and loved it.  We actually had a hard time finding a move up home because our targeted 2,400-2,800 sf felt as big as the Mericort home.  CalPac (and their designers) really built a quality home.  Too bad they keep their market to...

    Great Park: Shea Homes - Sagewood

    $452/sf with conservatory, which is still not bad.  I wonder if public record will show 2,850 or 3,200.  We just bought a house in which the seller did original builder conversion of 1 car garage to den.  The public records still shows the basic plan square footage (with the unconverted 3 car...

    VRBO / AIRBNB - starting to show up in Irvine

    Interesting.  My buddy just told me this morning he booked Park Place Apt on Jamboree for a week via AirBnB.  All CC&Rs that I've seen only allow 1Y lease.

    Remove the Lock feature

    From TLONL: Don't do it.  The consequences for restoring the posts will make me take even more action and the situation will be worse than it already is.

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    It looks good however my personal preference is white cabinet for small/medium sized home.  I also find it a bit of a mismatch with the white door and white crown moulding (if you install the same one).
