The same house we bought in 2006, was already over our buy price by 2011. And by 2017, it was almost 25% more.

The Irvine motto is "Slower to drop, faster to rise." :)

This seems like an extreme corner case.  2006 was the peak of the market and by most accounts didn't get back to this level until 2016/2017.  2011/2012  is generally considered the bottom of the market.

Probably, I should have added the caveat that this was *my* experience. Although I did check comps for similar homes... remember 3CGW homes are collector items. :)

Actually, what I did was bad. That's why my opinion is what it is. I should have kept that 05/06 house instead of selling it because we didn't like it and were worried about falling prices and timing the bottom on our next purchase.

Or better yet, bought a different house instead of trying to bargain shop. :)

There's a lot of burger places in Irvine that arent your normal fastfood chains like Five Guys, Habit, McDs, In N Out, etc.

Burger Lounge (highly recommended if you like those crisp patties which I do, occasionally want)
The Cut (also highly recommended, wasn't a fan of their brunch when we showed up one time, didn't know they had a brunch only menu)
BurntZilla (they got decent sliders, little pricey though)
The Counter (Not a huge fan, but occasionally go when I have a bogo coupon)
The Stand (Not a fan)
Mooyah (Not a fan, I don't even go with a bogo coupon)

Pretty close to Irvine
Peter's Gourmade Grill (Better when it was at the side of a gas station, haven't been in a few years now)
Hopdaddy (never been, but a coworker loves this place)
Click to expand...

I'm not really a burger person but to add to your list:

Burger Boss (in Tustin Legacy, so not really Irvine)
Krave (known for their Korean Fried Chicken but they also have good burgers)
Umami Burger (never been)
Ground House Burgers (in the Trade food hall off of Michelson)

I like Burntzilla and The Cut because they have tater tots and chicken sandwiches. :)

I hated mom burgers when I was a kid (chopped onions mixed into the ground beef. Patty that bulged in the middle when fried. Served between Wonder Bread slices) but I sure do miss them now.

The key ingredients are the carrots and bacon. You just need to chopped them at a point you can't even see them. That's the key ingredient for Bolognese as well. Now you guys can go make a shop with this secret. You can thank me later when you become a millionaire.

So if your case was an extreme outlier it should be ignored when examining the data.

In general, less desirable homes, like the condo I bought, crashed the hardest.  That's because the financial profiles of condo owners are typically weaker than SFR owners.  The ability to hang on during a recession is not as strong, so you end up with more foreclosures / short sales, plus a lot of buyers that used subprime / toxic financing to begin with.  (This time around, substitute FHA financing for subprime and the same thing applies.)

For a 3CWG in Irvine, that level of home is harder to attain to begin with, so the financial profiles of those owners is stronger.  That means fewer foreclosures in your segment and smaller price drops, plus a faster recovery.

Nonetheless, it made sense to rent from '06-'11 for most prospective Irvine buyers.

Concerning the current downturn, I would say existing owners should just stay put.  This is because they would pay so much in closing costs to both sell and then re-buy again near the bottom, that it would negate a huge portion of the savings they would achieve by renting.  Whereas, first time buyers would benefit greatly by being cautious (and wise) right now.

Irvine prices are falling.
Irvine rents are falling.
Mortgage rates are falling.

There is absolutely no incentive for first time buyers to rush in right now.

I can't be sure it was. As I said, other 3CWGs I looked at had similar value retention.

And I will stick to my contention that real estate is not just about data. Even extreme outliers can't be ignored because you have to consider why there are outliers to understand the effect on the market. As you said, maybe because all I was looking at was 3CWGs. Even the "data" study that IHB did showed that a 3rd car garage had the most value-add for homes (which of course has been ignored by all new home builders today).

All the people during the last crash who just looked at data predicted over 50% drops for Irvine and "ignored" the FCB buyers as a reason why there was better stability than surrounding cities now recognize those FCB "outliers".

Data said there was no way the Fed would create an environment where rates would drop to record lows. Now that "outlier" of a ~3% mortgage is the norm.

Reported record lows in sales volume the last year and a half was suppose to produce measurable price drops... but so far it's only been 1-5% depending on the housing stock? And as I've said, that's on the low end compared to previous drops the last 8 years which have been as high as 15%. I don't remember a lot of discussion about a "slowdown" during 2011 or 2016 and those drops were more than the current one.

Sure, prices are going down again, but... is it seasonal?

I read that in the one they mail to Irvine residents.

Here's the image:

HomeValuesAnalysis_1600x960.jpg


What I'm trying to figure out is what he is basing "value" on since this isn't price.

Since 2005, Irvine home values have appreciated by 77%. The rest of Orange County appreciated at 22%.

?The proof of Irvine?s value is in the numbers,? Boud says. ?The city has significantly outpaced its neighbors.?

And the correlation isn?t just during periods of economic growth.

Boud?s numbers also show that during challenging times, Irvine?s homes depreciate at a far slower pace than those in surrounding communities.

?We believe it is Irvine?s balance that drives and retains value,? Boud says. ?Schools, parks, open space, high-paying jobs, public safety ? all these factors converge positively here in ways other communities simply cannot match.?

Boud also notes that value should not be confused with prices.

?It?s the difference between climate and weather,? Boud explains. ?We?re looking at the long-term arc of home values. Prices will fluctuate from time to time, but what?s more important for a local economy is how value performs over the long haul, and Irvine is in a class of its own.?

?_?  Where did they get the 22% figure for OC?

In Santa Ana, $300K SFR in 2010 sells for $600K today.

Even in Tustin, $600K SFR in 2010 sells for $900K today.

I think you would be a good candidate for it, since you strongly believe that Irvine numbers decelerations already occurs many months ago. I like to compare Irvine # with wherever you live currently. I assume you close to the beach somewhere, so let?s go.

I don't own a new home, so these numbers are not applicable to me.  I can tell you that I'm selling an investment property purchased only four years ago for more than double what I paid.  Believe me, Irvine is not the place you want to buy if doubling your money is the goal.

You are deflecting from the main point of the discussions.

You insisting on Irvine is not as good of an investment but you have no other credibility for backing up your double in number of address or location, you pointed out that numbers from ?some online? sources suggested that Irvine had and continue to drop beyond 5% and it?s not seasonal. You continue to say that renting and continue to rent in the foreseeable future is the best options without real numbers.

At least IHO and some other including me standby a known location ?Irvine? with real data?s and chart.

All that I get from you is doubles investment in 4 years.

Now let me be clear, everything will have its up and down. During the difficulties years, Data from Irvine have proven it was down slowest and fastest upward recovery.

But this is the internet so you can say whatever and have no real consequences. SO, Carry-on, carry-on.
 
Sorry for the long post, I just have to on record and be proud to be able to live and play in Irvine.

While this may be true... for people who want to buy a home to live in, in a great city, with a big orange balloon... Irvine is the place (and more if you look at that list from CV). :)
