    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    If you're not 100% satisfied with your agent's work so far you've got nothing to lose by reaching out to Martin. When it comes to a purchase as large as a house, you deserve the best ally you can find imho.

    Ravello at Orchard Hills by New Home Co.

    Similar situation - my wife prefers cabinets that go to the ceiling because she shudders at the idea of how much dust & whatnot accumulates on top of cabinets with a gap between their top & the ceiling. I personally like the look of cabinets that go to the ceiling (within reason of course). I...

    Ravello at Orchard Hills by New Home Co.

    Even with $253k of builder upgrades, the original buyer couldn't even be bothered to pay up for cabinets that go to the ceiling. Sigh...

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    The rendering is completely unrealistic for three reasons 1) People are outside 2) People are without copious amounts of sun protection 3) People aren't staring at their phones /s

    Hard water at kitchen with new build?

    I didn't realize tankless RO exists. Do you have one? If so, how is the flow rate when you dispense water? What happens if you want to fill up a jug of say 1/2 gallon at once?

    Hard water at kitchen with new build?

    I have a water softener. The total cost was about $3,500. It needs to recharge every 2,600 gallons used, and a recharge uses about 100 gallons. The recharge puts a lot of very salty water into the sewer, which I hear isn't something the water treatment plants appreciate (I don't know exactly...

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2024 to 2025

    From the listing: "GOLF COURSE VIEWS LIKE NO OTHER!" Yes indeed! And think of the cash flow opportunities from reselling golf balls that land in the back yard! Or maybe it's cash flow even after factoring in the cost of repairs due to golf balls hitting the house.

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    Shhhh noooo.... FR Town Center is a bad place, people from GP and PS should go to WB Town Center, it's way better. It has a flagship Ralph's, Trader Joe's, a variety of delicious high quality restaurants, and the most prestigious, sought after, and well educated cars.

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    A topic I hear coming up repeatedly in multiple social circles is something along the lines of "Can you believe how much it costs to feed a family at Chick-fil-a?" Or "So I went to McDonalds to buy happy meals for my kids and it was $30!". Perhaps people are finally noticing inflation in their...

    Presidential Elections

    I think the machine is working to get Biden off the ballot. Step 1 is to sway public opinion from "he's a honest man" to "he's not cognitively well enough to serve in office". Once that happens, the dominos will fall against him. They'll use the mouth pieces of the legacy media to do that...

    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    It'll be interesting to see how sales go with a $2.9M base price (design center upgrades, window treatments, and landscaping are not included). I have a tough time believing TB will get $2.9M, but I have a great track record of being wrong. The Sequoia floor plans are nearly identical to the...

    Who would have thought that an administration willing to spend $3T more than they collect in tax annually could lead to difficult to contain inflation despite some of the most aggressive rate tightening in history?
