Cielo million dollar price drops

[OCtoSV]

BKS taught us all a crapload about the history of residential development across SoCal - OG IHB was amazing

 

[irvinehomeowner]

BKShopr on the old IHB had a few rules regarding ideal setbacks and lot sizes:

1. House area should not exceed 40% of lot size.

2. Front setback should match the house width.

3. Garage width should be 40% or less of house width.

4. Rear yard depth should be house height + 50%.

Good luck finding this in Irvine new construction today.

Even BK has to adjust with the times:



One of the floorplans even has a toilet over the kitchen.

Better than 3800 sq ft lot for a 3200 sq ft houses at Olivewood.

That's a low blow.

The new-home smell is too strong to resist. Each year, buyers pay more, only to get less. Reduced setbacks, narrow lots, motorcourts, 3-story homes....

What a dogshit property - so glad I’m getting inoculated against Irvine new build at any cost

What about the other ones on the price sheet? All reserved or sold?

Those are all on Bright Star, the newest phase they started building when they still had 6+ unsold homes on Drumbeat LOL.

105 Drumbeat vs 104 Sunnybank

vs


Which one would you choose?

 

[CalBears96]

105 Drumbeat is on a smaller lot, 4842 sq ft. For families that want bigger sq ft and not care about high ceiling, 104 Sunnybank is better. It should be Plan 3X with the bonus room. 104 Sunnybank should also have better resale value. Not sure if the Azul Plan 3X has the optional Outdoor Living + Covered Deck. If it does, then it definitely wins.

I say 6 baths for the win.

Only 4 baths for 4 beds is not luxury.

 

[CalBears96]

I don't see the point of 6 full baths. In fact, I would stay away from it for that. And Cielo home are 4.5 baths, which is perfect. Guests only need a powder room, not a full bathroom. Well, I guess 4 baths + 2 powder (1 downstairs and 1 upstairs) would better than 4.5 baths.

The view on 105 Drumbeat is WAY better than 104 Sunnybanks. Sunnybanks has a huge lot but you look at roof tops.

Their initial listing was a bit high and they were unfortunate to list at a bad time. Rates jumped quite a bit after Trump started the Iran war on Feb 28th. Spring would be the best time to list, but Trump screwed them with his war. Oh well.

Good. I don’t care what the reason at this point. Here’s hoping for another 500k drop. That should pressure the ones around it. The fact builders are now listing on Redfin and Zillow is a good start, but I still don’t see the price drops needed to avoid the pitchforks

You need at least six baths if you’re turning it into a boarding house, brothel or birth hotel
