Why would you sell when you locked in below 3% to buy elsewhere and take out a loan at 7%? You'll probably have less buyers, but investors are paying mostly cash, so high rates won't affect them. Just like IHO said, inventory will stay low unless rates start dropping, which would allow...

To me, that's a selfish reason. It's for their own good rather than for the kids' good.

When you're desperately trying to move your money out of China, ANYTIME is a good time to buy. They just want to park their money somewhere in the US, and needless to say, Irvine is the best place for FCBs to park their money at. A lot of Youtube RE agents had been pushing Rancho Mission Viejo...

I think these people are delusional, but we'll see if there are desperate FCBs. :ROFLMAO:

No, you're only guaranteed to be able to transfer to any UC of your choice, but not necessarily the major of your choice. There is a reason the capped majors are called capped majors. They have limited space.

Mostly Computer Science and Engineering related. Different UCs would have other capped majors as well. UCSD, for example, also include Biological Sciences, Physics and Public Health as capped majors. In short, capped majors are majors with limited space, but widely popular, thus having very low...

UCs don't look at SAT score anymore, not even for tiebreakers. JC to UC route is fairly easy for non-capped majors. For capped majors, forget about it. But then again, it's practically impossible to get top UCs for capped majors unless you have great GPA and lots and lots of non-academic...

Back to ridiculous prices for Olivewood. 😂

Yeah, not having to depend on fossil fuels, not having to line up at Costco gas station, being able to charge at home at your convenience, less maintenance, among other things, really does it for me. I would never buy ICE again. My next car with be another BEV or PHEV. Since my commute is...

Since it's Brookfield, they may build it like Tustin Legacy.

So that's the new strategy now, increase listing price after 3 weeks on the market? Just like this one: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/101-Thimbleberry-92618/home/173431851 Started listing at $3.56M on 12/23/2023, increased to $3.58M on 1/4/2024, increased again to $3.595M on 1/29/2024...

Couldn't agree more. Can't wait till we move to Cielo. 😂 When we first moved in, there were still quite a few parking spots on the street. I had to park my car on the street because we had to put the bins in the garage while we were doing landscaping. Now it seems like everyone is parking on...

I didn't know you lived in a condo with a 3 car wide driveway... I said that garbage day is a big issue in condo communities where most people refuse to park their cars in their garage, therefore taking up ALL the spaces on the streets. In fact, people are now parking illegally, in spaces where...

Actually, Highland has driveway too, but can't park on the streets. All communities still have sidewalk too, but Highland's sidewalk is a bit odd due to lack of curb. Essentially, it's just the same as any other older community, other than no 3CWG, and in most cases no big backyard. Except for...

All SFH communities in PS, except for Highland, still do. I will finally have driveway again when I move into Cielo. 😛

It's still okay in SFH communities because people can still park in their driveway if they don't park in their garage, but it really sucks in condo communities.

I don't even know why people ask this question. The purpose of a garage is to park your damn car. Not for storage. Not to use as a gym. Not a man cave. I really hate it when people living in condos don't park their car in their garage and park them on the street. Garbage day really sucks...

1. Bringing an agent doesn't affect upgrades/incentives. In fact, you DON'T get any upgrades or incentives from any builder in PS right now. The only "incentives" you get from Azul is 2%/1% discount on the mortgage rates on the first two years if you go with US Bank. Cielo and Olivewood don't...

So HoA is not Keystone? I thought all the IP communities were managed by Keystone. This is IP, right?

Huge lot, with a view (even though mountain view) and nice landscaping, this is a steal. :ROFLMAO:
