I used to live on Liberty St. My roommate said his room on the 3rd floor would physically shake whenever a train went by. I personally didn't feel it on the 1st floor though. Definitely heard it, but after a few weeks, your brain just tunes it out.

Just came back from an open house, wow there were like 10+ people inside. Housing slowdown? 🤣 As soon as prices drop a little, you get tons of interest. Other 4 bed houses nearby are going for 1.8 million. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/7-Oroville-92602/home/5812848

I agree, but I don't think we'll see a buyer's market anytime soon. Prices will just stabilize for a while. There's multiple 50 bps interest rate hikes scheduled in the upcoming months. https://www.ocregister.com/2022/05/23/orange-county-home-sales-tumble-28-as-loan-payments-soar-42/

What does laundry pass through the garage mean? Like a small area in-between the main house and garage? That doesn't seem so bad or inconvenient. Just walk pass the washer and dryer. Laundry on 2nd floor scares me because any flooding mishap and you've ruined major structure between floors, if...

"Mello roos 3100-3700." That doesn't bother you? Assuming you bought a 800k house, so prop tax is $8k + $3.7k mello roos and don't forget monthly $245 hoa. Yikes!! I agree that Montara Plan 2 is better than Plan 1. Plan 1 master bedroom is right next to bedroom #2. Lots of extraneous...

Good for them. For every millienel who earned millions there's hundreds more who slaved away long hours only to have the startup go under.

DJ really needs to open up a entrance/exit on Jamboree. Why keep funneling cars in on Alton? Worse design ever. Always a hassle going and leaving DJ. With the addition of Hai Di Lao, I bet it's even worse now.

Perfect! Thank you.  :D

If I wanted to do home repair cutting tile with a table saw and observe normal working hours, will that trigger HOAs in filing a notice? I think it would be fine if professional contractors knocked it out in a few weeks, but a home DIYer would take months, lol.  >:D Since newer Irvine homes are...

How did this house sell for $725k? Seems awfully low for 4 bed detached home. Foreclosed house?

All of these wood framed apartments are terrible when it comes to sound insulation. Brand new "luxury" apartments that cost $2k/month for a 1 bed such as Avalon Huntington Beach, The Alton Irvine, etc, you can hear your neighbor above you walking around! You can hear each footstep almost! Never...

How come you are counting corner lots as a pro? Aren't corner lots considered a con? Higher road noise, higher chance of kids getting run over, higher chance of break-ins, etc. Also this house is not just "near" the 5 fwy.https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/21-New-Jersey-92606/home/5765749 It's...

"2. Who?s up: Prices increased in 7 of the 11 ZIPs as sales rose in 3 ZIPs." Prices still have gone up even with lower number of sales.  :-\

You could hear the airplanes and trains!??  :'( I've been focused on buying my first home in Westpark due to it's close location to the 405 and it's in the middle of everything. Hmm...was the noise a deal breaker?

This house has a nice yard, but right next to the 405. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/17201-Chestnut-92612/home/4708590 The SFR homes in 700-800k range typically are next to the freeways or train tracks. That Appomattox house is pretty close to the freeway also. Some studies done living...

I have been watching this house for a while now. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/33-Meadow-GN-92602/home/5815187 It started out at $895,000, then dropped to $849,000, finally at $839,000. Offer accepted yesterday. I thought it would drop to $799,000 with the lull in real estate, but...

Toxic soil included free of charge?  :o

I got this from a Redfin email: Sales Slump in September Homes sold in September decreased 4.8% year over year and, for the first time in nearly three years, the number of homes for sale increased. Finally some relief!! ;D

They recoup their money when they gouge you on moving out fees deducted from your deposit.

Why do you think this? Most articles I read are pointing to China winning any trade war. 1) Chinese are used to a difficult life, so any hardship won't really affect them much. Americans won't put up with any hardship - they will vote for the opposing party if pushed too much. 2) Xi Jin Ping...
