$70K over on a 1.2 home seems reasonable in this market. Surprised it didn't go for more. Thanks for all the updates! Super interesting to keep tabs on how market is shifting.

Wanted to pop on and thank everyone for their thoughts/expertise. We ended up in escrow on a nice property in Aliso. It's not Irvine.. But it's still OC!

Update for anyone wondering: we were outbid. Better luck next time!

Hi @USCTrojanCPA! When do you think you are doing to be reviewing offers with your seller? Really excited about this one. Thanks!

Saw the property today. Thanks for all the info you put on this site, USCTrojanCPA! It has really helped my husband and I get a better grasp of what we are looking for in a first home and where we should/shouldn't be looking.
