Darn, I got all excited when you wrote "CS graph", and thought maybe IPO had updated the Irvine-specific numbers.

Too bad it is the real CS index graph from S&P.

That said, I've been seriously lazy about updates lately too!

My predictions for 2011:
1. Some will guess that the price of homes will go up, some will anticipate that the prices will go down, and others will prognosticate that the prices will stay flat.
2. Two of these groups will be incorrect.
3. The group that guessed correctly will be the most vocal.
4. Unfortunately, I do not know which will be which.
5. If I did, I wouldn't be publishing it.

What's next?...Time will tell... (hat tip, freedomcm)

P.S. If I were to gamble, I'd take the Ducks and the points.

I'm struck that REO/short are now 47% of sales in irvine.

Isn't that a big jump recently?

~50% is what costa mesa has been all year.

That is 32% for Irvine & 47% for the rest of OC. But that number still feels high for Irvine.

IR, is that % rising for Irvine?

Looking at IR2's past posts... shorts/REOs seems to hover around 28-30% for Irvine.
That percentage would be lower if there weren't so many stubborn unmotivated sellers.
 
- January's median price for Irvine dropped further to $565,900.

Hi IR2, I noticed that Zillow median home price estimate for Irvine is $593,400. I know many don't trust zillow, but my two recent appraisals came out about $5000 more or less the zillow value so perhaps they are getting better?

What does a typcial detached 1600 sq ft condo in Irvine cost these days?  $565,900 or $593,400

 
Panda: Anecdotally..I saw one sell for around $600 in mid-2010, and then another in the same complex sell for about $70,000 less, comp-wise a couple of months ago. When I ran the numbers using the spreadsheet, there seems to be about a $50K drop in those units over the past year.

Here's a snapshot of the last 3 months of Irvine closings, detached condos only, 1500-1750sqft:

It looks like IR2 is putting down payment information on the spreadsheet again (I apologize, I tried to do it last year and got through 3 months and then fell off the train).

The number of high down and 100% down is amazing:
irvinerealtorsite.com said:
Average 49.32%
Median 35.50%
High 100.00%
Low -3.30% (strange negative down payment... might be a typo)
In a down economy, high unemployment and tight credit... people are still paying 100% cash for homes... and not just lower priced homes, I counted 5 of them over $1m... one of them $4.9m.

Maybe TIC knows what they are doing... and the FCBs don't.
