As folks are getting ready to file taxes, I am sure they must have this question if they bought a new home. For a Brand new home in Irvine, if a builder installs solar, who takes the Solar Tax credit? Builder or Owner? What documents he/she need from the builder to take this credit? Who...

Very interesting! Thanks for explaining that

Thanks Martin. Is that another way to sell luxury or expensive homes?

What’s the story behind this Altair listing? https://redf.in/dbtp6u Is it the beginning of auctions and foreclosures as tech sector layoffs keeps coming?

Calbears- Where are you getting this info from about $1.5 to $2.0M in just city view lot premium for Portola Springs. Any data to back this up? Orchard hills info is not relevant here :) Seems like a lot and we dont believe it. Its about buying another condo :)

Missed you USC Today at the Portola! Thought i could get a name to the face. Next time for sure. What did you think about the plans and the release price. Anything worth getting for $2M+ in this market? I personally liked Azul -3 and Cielo-1.

Cielo plans are worse Ravello because it is in Portola Hills versus Orchard Hills  ;D

My observation is that Altair houses doesn't hold its value in downturn as much some of the neighboring communities. Maybe because of Great Park Association and high taxes. I have seen very high turn over in that community. My friend bought a similar home in Altair this March and paid $3.3M...

Is the Great Park Tax and Mello-ross same for Altair vs rest of the GP neighborhood?  What is the effective tax rate one has to pay for Altair vs Great Park?

It says buyers agent commission of 0.69%? Is that what builders are offering these days?

Sierra prices are the direction for future releases of Highlands and Bluffs. Looks like the remaining Highland view lots will be $2M+ and Bluffs will be $1.8M+. Interest rate hikes and inflation is not slowing things down here..It can no longer be a value village as described by some earlier!!

[/b][/SIZE] Is this a true statement?... I would think so but need to back that up with data..anyone??

How accurate is this info and where are you get info on 3 models each? Any update on the timing would be helpful? Looks like IP is pretty tight lipped on the development especially the sales lady at Highland. She never seems to give straight answers!!

At this rate, we are leaving Bay area housing prices way behind in next year so! I am comparing East Bay- San Ramon area (Similar school district) to Irvine and housing here has surpassed in few occasions. I think its a bubble and agree with the comment posted, we are just having a different...

Who did you talk to at Highlands? Cheryl H. or someone else? I am trying to get some timing info but no luck so far from the sales agent. I guess they want to sell the remaining Highland first and not cannibalize  it with new community!

+1 for Sales lady @ Highlands! She is very quirky, works now when demand is high but someday she should not be in frontline sales. She is also very hesitant to share and details about list and releases, just get on the priority list with preapproval and proof of funds! Feel the frustration of...

Most of the releases in highland are for view lots but are going to priority list people. Apparently, folks are waiting for over a year for those view lots!! I dont know but there is always something fishy going on with those builders priority list as they are not transparent to public. People...

The construction has halted for time being as far as i can tell. Maybe if this belongs to Irvine Company they are focussing on finishing up Highlands by 2022 Q2. I am expecting some activity or announcement by 2021 Q4 or early 2022.

This make sense given the land availability near Hillside and Highlands. They are both being graded and roads + utilities are being put in. My suspect is we would by December or early next year! Thanks for sharing with the sales consultant.

Thats a good guess since it is already close to Highland pool. The existing lots are building out faster with 3/4 crews working at the same time. I am thinking it might be officially announced later in the year or early 2022. How about KB homes Elderberry extension? The lot seems to be bigger...
