What's going into escrow - Irvine and maybe some Tustin too

[ipoplaya_IHB]

Here's something in regular .htm format for you FE:

I put the listings in .mht as it allows all the images to be saved and referenced in a single file. That format preserves more of the usefulness of the listing itself.

Where in Tustin Ranch are you looking?

Never really considered that area before. Mostly because the homes seemed rather old.

I liked the look of this house:

www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing

The description starts with: Priced for Immediate sale !

And within a week they increased the sale price by 100K!!!!

Ipoplaya-

Did 5772 Oakley Terrace in Turtle Rock ever close? Thanks!

 

[ipoplaya_IHB]

Joon - if it closed, they haven't updated it yet. Still says pending sale in MLS.

"Where in Tustin Ranch are you looking?"

Maybe something like this ten:

Ipop,

Thanks for the follow up and link. Actually, that one’s pretty nice and new.

Compared to Northpark and NW Pointe, the lot sizes in Tustin Ranch are very generous. 11633 Nitta has a very nice and spacious lot as well. I like 12200 Wyne Court, how far down do you think that one might go? It seems substantially overpriced to me.

20 Breezes in Woodbury is one I'd consider.

Newer product, priced significantly lower than Wyne Court.

"Ipop, what's a "mht" file? I can't read them on my Mac. Can you put that info into a more common format like html or pdf? Thanks for all the great work."

mht files are a microsoft format for reproducing a html page with all the images intact. unfortunately, there is no easy way to read them on Macs. I can't see them either.

"You want me to look into them Doc?"

Nah, I called the Realtor™ and found out the property I was realllllly interested in @ $1.45M sold in 2 days at over list price with multiple offers.

 

[irvine123_IHB]

Dr, over the list in two days? did they listed it low to fish for multiple offers?

Any chance you can share the address?

 

[Irvine Allergy Dr_IHB]

Hmm, the link I just posted didn't work. You can find it on homeseekers.com via MLS#P627900.

The only things I did not like about the home (at least from pictures) were the kitchen layout and the master bath looks to be smaller than my current one.

I don't know if they knowingly listed it "low". $372/sq ft isn't really low, but given its a single-story building of fairly recent construction on a pretty big lot (1/3 acre), its a decent price at this point in the market.

Surfing doc's area I found this gem:

Check out the list price history! Wow, serious market chaser.

 

[ipoplaya_IHB]

This place seems like a decent value for Cowan Heights:

IPO - This one is out of your coverage area in terms of size and type, but $270/sq ft in Northpark Square doesn't seem to bad (at least compared to now)

How big is that lot on 12162 Afton Lane?

Looks like a private compound, complete with pool, basketball court, and two-story tree house. The exterior face looks sweet

 

[ipoplaya_IHB]

Wow, that's a nice find Caliguy. I bet it gets sold pretty quickly. Probably rents for $2600-2700/month so it's only $75K or so more to fall before it was a 160GRM. Looks like it sold in the low $700s on last sale so its a 30% drop.

This one is going to have to drop again soon to compete:

[ipoplaya_IHB]

"ipop -- did you notice that they are citing your web site in the comments section over on Lasner's blog?"

Maybe I should start advertising?!

 

[southoctracker_IHB]

I would absolutely think the Salton one would have to drop, since it's 400 sq ft smaller and has 2 fewer bedrooms. Guess it depends just how bad a condition the Bolinas one I posted is in.
