I don't understand price increases on resale homes that have already been on the market for a period of time. Take https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/23-Plymouth-92620/home/4779149 Went on the market 12 days ago at $1.985 million, today increased to $2.199 million, an increase of $214K. Why? If...

OMG too funny. Hadn't noticed that! Add another one to the "fail" list.

This one's on the market again. Same price after the reduction. Now jazzed up with staged furniture. Still crappy builder standards, still no back landscape, still contractor front landscape. Still only the nice view is the only positive thing to say. The staged furniture is no more reason for...

https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/327-Paradiso-92602/home/180272720 Contractor front yard landscape, no rear landscape, standard builder finishes everywhere. And they want almost $1000/sq foot?! Lot size is 3800. My current home size is larger than the entire lot size! The house looks like it...

https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/110-Lustro-92602/home/169474570 Ridiculous price. House sold for $2.144 million 1 year ago. Now $3.8 million. $1,129/sq foot. Jacked up 80% in 1 year?!

Yup, still live here, still very happy. And yup, not much on TalkIrvine nowadays. Good memory! Without specific data, hard to say that houses sit on the market longer. There's a very small "n", I think, to make such a generalization. It's a small community, and at any one time there are less...

Thanks for the website... didn't know it existed.

I'm considering buying a new home from Toll Bros outside of OC and want to know what their customer care is like? Top notch like the New Home Company? (My current Irvine home is from The New Home Company and really can't complain about any of their after-sale warranty replies/fixes.)

General rough guide is that you should spend about 10% of the price of your home on landscaping. If you're not spending that much, you're not doing your home justice. I live in a (new at the time) community where the minimum cost of a new home was $1,000,000. One of the homes looks like they...

Anyone know if Luna Grill has opened yet at the Marketplace. It seems like it's been pending for quite a long time.

Well, smokeyfingers is gone, the only guy who knew how to do a fade there. A few weeks back, I went in for my regular fade. He wasn't there. I asked if he was on vacation or if he just had the day off. They said he went on vacation. Great, when will he be back, I asked. They said "we're not...

Somewhat surprised they raised prices. It'd certainly been quite a bit of time, a bit over a year (last time they raised was Oct 2015). This, in addition to offering 13 months for the price of 12, implied they were a bit hurting for pass renewals. But, I guess not.

I used Studio H and was very happy with my results (not the contractor we used though). As far as I know, that contractor is no longer working. I'm glad you're going the landscape architect route. It's well worth the additional costs. It's rather obvious in my community the few homes who chose...

Haven't been there in a while now that Ugly Pie is gone. That center seems to be hurting. Surprising, given that it's surrounded by wealth. Peet's is the best thing there right now.

Yes, there's video.

Michael's coming to Woodbury Town Center. Great, another store that's super convenient for me but I'll only be going to once a year.

Don't know for a fact if it was road rage (I've heard yes, it was), but I can confirm that the truck drove through the exit side of Lambert Ranch Road, did a U-turn at the guard house, drove the wrong way through the guest arm-gate (breaking it), and drove out the entry way of Lambert Ranch...

Not sure if Funkie is at all familiar with LR. The old Lambert family home in the center of the community is a non-issue. It's not visible and you have to drive up a private driveway if you want to see it. He "thinks" the residents are paying for MR in other ways. What other ways? The New...
