If this were located in Irvine, it would have 15 cash offers for $850K… guaranteed. Are you experiencing the same demand for your Lake Forest listings? If so, this listing could approach Irvine Prices.

An attached condo for $825 per square foot and we get a bidding war! Non-cash buyers need not apply?? Just when I think the level of craziness has peaked, it gets worse. True SFR should be $1,000 per square foot. Good thing I already own a home because I can’t afford it now :( PS Congrats USC

This is what I would do… go down to the city and see if a permit is required (I suspect it is) and the proper filing requirements and fees. Can’t be that expensive. A reputable contractor would likely do all of this. This is the moral and proper thing to do. You sleep better and would never be...

https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/100-Dry-Crk-92602/home/143911438 Originally listed for $8.8m - I waited a month and offered $7.888m but lost out :( Oh well... was really looking forward to paying that non tax deductible $100K+ property tax

Martin, I was expecting to see you pre-announce this listing as yours! https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-27/albert-pujols-is-listing-his-irvine-mansion-for-9-98-million Listed it for only $7.75 million in 2016 after buying if for $5.55 million in 2012.

Fricking incredible! Posters like LL says market is going to hell and you’re getting multiple offers and possible bidding war. Another example of RE mania brought to you by Martin. 😋

The sad thing is that both Kari Lake and George Santos have more credibility. Best to ignore - don’t feed the troll. Parroted posts just looking for attention.

Your math logic is full of holes but explaining why is useless. True stupidity is believing whatever AVCT (Anti-Vaxx Conspiracy Theorists) are telling you and not being able to comprehend basic facts - AVCT (i.e. Charlie Kirk) has little use for these. The sad thing about the Damar Hamlin...

In today’s current environment what factors should those who are considering EVs deeply analyze about purchasing or leasing? The fact that you can’t purchase a Tesla at lease end, expected technological improvements (particularly battery) during the next three years, expected depreciation of EVs...

Congratulations. Looks like your sellers didn’t feel Liar Loan’s big “pain”. A good indication of the true status of the market unless of course, your clients are immune to the market’s predicted free fall! Eat an extra pound of turkey tomorrow in celebration.

This is more than a bad thing… it’s the feng shui kiss of death as the typical bed layout would have the head on the wall on the motorcourt. Even if you choose a less desirable bed location in this room, still a no go.

Probably counterintuitive, but Realtors have a horrible track record at predicting the direction yet alone the magnitude of any future price trends. Every once in awhile they get it right but they do have an ulterior motive. Does that sound like any forum posters anyone can think about?

Always thought a true indicator of the market is what happens to a Martin listing. If the property sells for less that means the downturn has started. And you know LL will be all over it, which no one is looking forward to :( If the property doesn?t sell? well I don?t want to think about it!

I?m particularly impressed that the owners bought this 3 years ago for $960K. Hmm? they?ll net just under $500K profit with just over 3 years of residency. For tax purposes it just doesn?t get any better. I?m sure your CPA was at play! We should get a good reading on the changing real estate...

Fascinating and inspiring journey. You?ve accomplished something a vast majority of people can only dream about. I too desire a unicorn but even if I found it, I would need to win the lottery to pay for it - my unicorn requires a miracle. I?m sure you?ll enjoy your home and never regret the $$...

Unlike tips, the customer must pay service charges if they were made aware of the service charge prior to services being performed. Did the restaurant put a note anywhere in tiny print on the menu, or on a wall/front door, or mention it etc? If you don't pay the service charge and the restaurant...

I was at the grand opening of this track. People (won?t mention ethnicity) we?re having organisms because not only could they see Northwood HS they thought they could just walk down the hill. The latter turned out not to be the case. Anyhow this tract sold like hotcakes and was the first track...

Another great piece of advise from the sage Martin. Right before the craziness exploded my kid/spouse were looking to buy a starter home. They were actually looking for a home to live in and raise a family. We visited a lot of homes and almost all were pieces of shit and/or had structural...

For my last two homes I had a water softener, whole house conditioner, and a R.O. Faucet in the kitchen (the wife wants her water extra clean) installed by So Cal Water. They use Fleck systems and were market pricing. I?m satisfied and would use them in my next home if I could afford to buy...

I?m not an expert but today oil prices gave up most of their big overnight gains and briefly dipped into negative territory. Prices rose on the possibility of a ban of Russian oil but fell when Germany stated it is reluctant to do so. So was today a blowout event? Where do the TI experts think...
