I've been tracking a few of the listing on our WTF price homes and this one just closed.
https://www.zillow.com/homes/176-Compass-Irvine,-CA-92618_rb/119683206_zpid/

Interesting that it take a bit of time, vs. the quick closed that we've accustome to lately. Nonetheless, bought at 1.4mil in 2015 and sold 2.3 in 2022.

And to my many suprises, most of the WTF price was sold, gone, kaput....So is it really WTF price? From what I see, its not.
Estimated GP property tax (1.5%) will be $35k . 😬

Some people gotta put their chump change somewhere. Yeah, a lot for me.

Property tax is going to be $32k. Accurate property tax is 1.05% + MR. MR is a fixed number, not a % of property value. In the case of GP, it's around $7500. For PS, it's about $3600. The total property tax % drops as the property value increases.

32k a year can almost send two kids to private school.....

Hope they got the money to fix that place up. Maybe it will look better after it's cleaned out but right now it's butt ugly.

If they only have the house and no other loans, $32K/year plus HOA/Insurance is a pretty sweet price for Irvine.

Agree, having money and not having good taste demonstrated here. Cosmetic can be easily fix. Tune in to HGTV and DIY with a bucket of paint and that will do it.

It was a former model home but they didn't furnish it like Shea did and now it's just dated. The yard really could use some work (not that expensive). It would have been an easy flip but they held their ground and didn't have to do anything to get it sold.

Now is the time to unload anything that has any issues at all which would sit for a long time  in even a balanced market.
 
Existing home sales fell in Feb even inventory up 2.4% from Jan. Anytime inflation rate jump over 5% in the last 60 years, recession followed.  Happened in 1974, 1990 & 2008.  This time will be even worst with balance sheet tightening.  Even with the highest household income in Silicon Valley, home prices dropped 5-10% beginning of 2019 after 7 rates hikes in 2017-2018. Don?t be surprised 30 yrs fixed mortgage rates jump to 6% by the end of 2022. Go see some open houses on weekend if you don?t believe me. Don?t be shocked if you are the only person there.  Yes, there are NO more 20 families waiting in line to see open houses.

This property went for almost $2.7m

Eastwood prices are off the charts

Is it worth paying almost 800 per sq ft?
 
until Irvine is caught up with Bay Area prices.

Freaking amazing when you look at the housing price history in Eastwood. It was a pretty slow curve from 12 months to 3 months ago, going from about $500/sq ft to $560/sq ft, but then it just shot up.

Well, we did see phase to phase increase on new homes going from $10k to $30-$40k starting around October last year.

There might have been some issue with building materials costing more because the same thing happened in AZ to new homes from all the builders at the same time.

Cupertino 4/3 2187 sq ft went for $3.888M ($1M over asking)https://www.redfin.com/CA/Cupertino/11232-Monterey-Ct-95014/home/1369577

Don?t be surprised mortgage rate will hit 6% by end of this year.  U.S. stocks are lower after Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainerd said the central bank would "continue tightening monetary policy methodically through a series of interest rate increases" and start to reduce the balance sheet at a rapid pace as early as May.
