20 Corte El Brazo
A new low PSF for a premium view lot? Could Talega actually hit $150/SF?
What does the December 31, 2008 sales price represent? Is that what the bank too it back for?

What part confuses you (other than the Villages of Columbus is a shithole)?

Since every loan that has been done there since about 2002 is probably toxic and prices have dropped and with the Alt-A, Option arm, 5 year fixed and Jumbo loans all upside down and counting all the HELOC's that have been turned off and job losses mounting i think you have a world of hurt coming soon. Sorry but unless your in for the long run and can afford you payments as is the whole place is going to be another waste zone of vanished equity...Time to buy a helmet.
joeyp said:Just noticed this website. It's some realtor who publishes "the green sheet, your monthly update on properties in talega". It lists all the active and some recently sold properties in Talega. It looks like over half the houses being offered are short sales or bank owned.
No. It is not possible.TR_Esq said:I've been watching Talega recently. Me and the Mrs. are considering buying down there. Lots of activity, especially in the 600-700k range. Some houses that are priced well are moving into backup offer status or hold do not show within days of being listed, with multiple offers on the propert (e.g. 28 Via Ceramica, 20 Via Alonso). Is it possible the 2300-2800 sq/ft homes down there are bottoming at ~250-270 sq/ft? thoughts?

Well... Compton is a s*#&hole. Most of Santa Ana and parts of Tustin are s*#@holes. Talega nor VoC would hardly be considered that. If you think it represents something you don't like, that's different than those being s#*@holes. The reason something was built - i.e. take advantage of the housing boom - has not much to do with whether it is a nice place or not. Heck, Trump Towers is a great residence but built purely for the times. Talega has their faults (too hot, can get crowded), but it is a great neighborhood that offers a great environment to raise your kids. Has a great golf course too. It's just all a matter of what you would pay to live there. I would pay $400K for a 2000-2200 sf in Talega. But I wouldn't pay $600K. If it was built in the 90's, it would be a nice neighborhood. The fact that it was built in the 2000's doesn't make it otherwise.

Talega is hot? I'd say AV, LR and certain Temecula are hotter places that Talega. Any weather persons on here who can confirm?

It's five miles inland. It's as warm there as Foothill Ranch, which is about the same as LR, slightly better than Temecula, and worse than AV.For those unfamiliar with Talega, please know that no vas is flat wrong. No vas, I'm not sure if you've ever been to Talega. As a starting point, Talega (town center) is probably 2-2.5 miles from the I-5. call it another 1-2 to the beach. So Talega, at most is 3-4 miles from the beach. Mabe some places in Talega are closer to 5, but even so, stating that's it's as hot as FR and hotter than AV is kind of absurd. Foothill Ranch is at least 20 miles inland? AV is probably 10-12 miles from Main Beach -- but nestled on the backside of the mountains - thus blocking coastal winds. It's common sense that places 12-20 miles from the ocean are hotter than a place 4 miles from it. Temecula? really?
I grew up in NB, now live in Turtle Ridge. Talega has literally an identical climate. I have friends that I grew up with that now live down there that think the same. Also have friends who live in LR who, at the last BBQ we attended in Talega were struck by "how much cooler Talega is than Ladera". this makes sense too considering LR is essentially Mission Viejo.
