anyone who opts for a prep kitchen is a moron.

thank you so much, that's great, a lot of his points are pretty insightful. I think he's really spot on with the two car garage. I'm in a smaller, less grand Toll Brothers neighborhood in Baker Ranch (average 2500 sq ft, mine is ~2900), and street parking isn't all that plentiful there even...

what are his other criticisms? It does seem overpriced to me, but what do I know, it's hard for me to imagine dropping 4 million on a house

Ok Estrella has a really cool floorplan, I love it. But those are what, 7 million now? Evergreen/Sequoias are ~3m. I can dream about the latter one day, the former is just never going to happen unless I quit corporate life and Sam Altman buys my startup. My current house a Toll Bros 4...

I do agree two islands are better, but the one giant one is nice enough. I agree about the separate bathroom/closet idea. Finally, 2 car garage for 6 million?? I don't even remember, 6 million is just for a decent lot, it's probably what, another million or more to get it looking remotely...

Pretty nice floor plans, nicely appointed, cool views, but holy shit did they seem overpriced. I enjoyed walking through the models but it's crazy that these are in the same price point as Hidden Canyon which has a much less cramped feeling and larger lots. The big showpiece staircases in the...

Should have posted it in the John's Creek thread to give Panda a taste of his own medicine.

What do you all think of Ja Jiaozi? I liked it the two or three times I went when I lived near the marketplace. I'm also looking forward to DTF at the Spectrum!

Right, I was up quite a bit. My point was it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things that my house 'lost' some value ~2010. Who cares. I got a place I liked, I needed a place to live, and I sold it and carried ~400k into my next home purchase. The condo I bought in 2009 sold for 620k...

Ok, I bought in 2009, 'lost' some money, but then sold in 2020, when I bought my house in Foothill Ranch. At the "peak" I'd say my house was worth 2.4, but now it's probably around 2 flat. We'll see, I predict more price slides for a little while.

The richer I get, the less stairs I want to have. Seeing mansions with 4 sets of stairs blows my mind.

Probably got a shit box condo while he was waiting to buy that Quail Hill 6 bedroom for 200k.

guys guys let's just pony up, how much equity and when/where we bought. I wanna know if Liar or IHO pulled a larry.

there's only one person who pretends to want to live in John's Creek here.

if you have to sell when the market is down, who cares, your other house will be cheaper as well. If things get really bad, just hand over the keys, rent for a while, then buy the dip. Anyway, now I want to know if you're someone who actually bought at a good time, and you just don't want...

I'm not sure why it matters unless you're forced to sell? When did you buy in Irvine?

are they, if they are rich and live there with their family? I mean, I bought my house in Foothill Ranch expecting prices to drop quite a bit in the short term, but I loved the house and saw myself living there for 20+ years. (spoiler, it didn't drop in value, I gained ~800k in equity...

Panda is trying to convince himself he wouldn't move to Irvine or even Lake Forest in a heartbeat if someone handed him the keys to a new detached condo.

The price per SQ FT in Irvine is now $798. In Foothill Ranch it's $648. John's Creek is $219.

Looks fun for 4 months out of the year!
