    I checked their page on Yelp a little over a week ago and their reviews were horrible. Like a 2.8 average after 30ish reviews with as many 1 star reviews as 5 stars reviews. Now suddenly they have a 4.2 average with a ton of positive 1-2 line reviews. One of the reviews gave away their secret...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Saw someone mention it’ll be where Bristol Farms used to be. That info supposedly comes from someone who will be working at the new location.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I’ve never seen this in a listing before. An incentive for the buyer’s agent to convince their client to offer list or higher. But then they’re only offering 1.5% to the buyer’s agent. So even if they get that bonus it’s pretty close to the typical 2%...

    $997/sq ft in Stonegate. That’s a hell of a ROI. Bought in September 2020 for $1.065m, and sold 3.5 years later for $2.108m. No renovations as far as I can tell compared to the pics from 2020. I like how their staging consists of leaving a plant in a corner in each room...

    Homeowner's Insurance - anyone successfully insure a condo?

    The number they list after each zip code is the number of policies that are affected. So while Calabasas has 1090 homes affected, 92602 only has one home affected.

    Homeowner's Insurance - anyone successfully insure a condo?

    They’re just non-renewing a single home in 92602, not the entire zip code.

    Closed for $758k over list. That 2020 buyer sure is feeling the pain 😉

    Adler at Saddle Crest in Silverado by Tri Pointe Homes

    I went with a $2500 deductible. $1000 would have been $175 more per year, and increasing to $5000 would have saved an additional $150/year. That seems like a huge discount for a relatively small increase in your deductible. They’re pricing it like you’re going to have a claim once every 3 years.

    Last chance for a SFH under $1M in Irvine. I wonder what it even looks like inside. And yikes at the tree growing from the corner of the house. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/5092-Yearling-Ave-92604/home/4666012

    Tustin Air Base Hangar on fire

    The line about "no known risk of asbestos contamination" was removed from the LA Times article. Makes me think there is a risk and someone told them to remove that part.
