    Buying New Construction 101?

    If you are waiting for an in demand lot you can forget about any negotiations or incentives. Just be happy you got the lot others wanted. Only time you can negotiate are lots that are sitting unsold.

    Orchard Hills a good buy?

    I think he means pre-qual with the builder to get on their VIP list. Longer you are on, and the more the salespeople knows you and see you, the better the odds of getting a better lot (if only because you get news of new phases before the public and they know you are a serious buyer). If you...

    Beverly by Brookfield at Eastwood

    To be fair, the remaining homes at alta are 3.5-4+. Add upgrades and you're talking about prices that few can afford. Compare to first phase at 2.5-2.7. They have sold out almost all the non-view homes and can take their time with the remaining lots.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    That is one of the 2 not sold. Other is the corner next to the main entrance. Plan 4 in phase 1 has driveway you can park on, but with no view, it isn't appealing.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    It all comes down to what you find important - functionality vs style. It's obvious there are people who don't care about vaulted ceilings and just want more square footage in the form of a loft. The reason everyone is bitching about OH3 is they are ALL boring. Why not have a mix of boring and...

    Ants inside house

    Ants at my house also built up immunity to Terro. Actually, they just ignore it now - they know it's a trap. I used Amdro last year and it cleared them up. It is really toxic though and i'm wary of using it.

    Trump Tax Plan and Home Valuation

    I wouldn't worry too much about this tax plan - no way it passes in its current form. This tax plan is a joke - nothing more than a huge break for the ultra rich making millions. It's almost as if this tax plan was made to minimize trumps taxes and screw the blue states. Hmmm.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    Interesting you ask this today. Heard today a friend of friend who lives in turtle ridge and works in Newport fell in love wth the oceano and wants to sell his house and buy there. As nice as turtle ridge is, the floor plans are dated with low ceilings. This is one example of a unique floor plan...

    ?No bubble? in Southern California, says luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers

    A lot of words, but you aren't really saying anything most people who follow financial markets don't know. What will cause a rate shock? When will it happen? Might as well say eventually there will be a recession and asset prices will drop. I'll save you some time. Next time just say, there...

    Spot on, but most of the resellers at trevi and la vita are listing their 144k amg for 165k. That's why most are sitting.

    Orchard Hills-Amelia

    Haven't you heard? People love the new home smell. All the buyers are going to the vistas. They are selling fine. Why pay for other peoples upgrades when you can spend the same and get a brand new home with your design choices.

    Question on HOA Having us Clean Out Garage to Park Cars that are on our driveway

    Or it's the same argument. You could also argue that HOA considers cars parked in driveways eyesores. So it's not what's in the garage that the HOA is concerned about. You can put whatever you want in the garage, as long as the cars are in there too!

    Clippers News

    The hate comes from the two years they blew it. Up 3-1 to Houston and up 20+ and losing. Up late in game 5 at okc with series tied 2-2 and Paul makes two huge boneheaded plays to lose the game after being up 7 with 40 secs to go. This video highlights clippers under Paul. These are the two black...

    Hidden Canyon in Irvine

    Lot 136 has no view - it is blocked by the hill. It is lot 135. I believe they tacked on 750K lot premium to it. The previous high premium for Vistas was 250K.
