<p>Trolling the Irvine Company "Good Planning" website tonight, I found this May 2000 publication by the Irvine Company, profiling Irvine housing at the time:</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.irvinecompany.com/aboutus/plan012345/index.htm">www.irvinecompany.com/aboutus/plan012345/index.htm</a></p>
<p>It is facinating how much the housing landscape has changed here in less than 8 years. In the facts and figures on pg 4 it is noted that prior year housing sales (1999) were 3,798 in Irvine (1,356 new and 2,442 resale) --- of which just 39 (!) were over $800k, and not one of those 39 was a new home. By far the biggest chunk of homes sold in 1999 was in the $200 - 300k range. Wow.</p>
<p>Another article I'm sure our own 'Irvine Renter' will enjoy --- if only for its title --- is on page 2: "Irvine's Renter by Choice". </p>
