    How far away from train track is good?

    Yup that’s where I grew up, Rose and Alta Vista next to golf course. Hometown Buffet was my favorite hang out place after Valencia HS football game on friday 😉. My parents still have that house as one of their rentals there.

    How far away from train track is good?

    Train track here is different than the one in Placentia. I used to to live 1/2 mile from Rose and Orangethorpe. Those freight trains were loud especially blowing the honk at every intersection. Irvine only has Amtrak so it’s not as bad.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    It’s undercover elephant. No one knows since you cant change the exterior of the house..cough..attached condo. 😉 One nice feature is the convenience of doing the laundry while cooking dinner w/o leaving the kitchen. 😎

    ICE or EV?

    Tesla Model X LR just dropped to $79,990 which qualifies for $7500 tax credit. This is a good deal.

    Planned Shopping Plaza - Irvine Blvd & Pusan?

    I hope so. 😎 it’ll be cool if they do this to Portola Spring road. I love climbing. I miss the good old days when PS was just an empty street up and down, no traffic lights, no traffic. I used to do 10 laps up and down for daily exercise. Now it sucks when going down hill at 40mph and hit a red...

    Walnut train noise

    Good news is there is no freight trains. Only Amtrak operates this track. With only one row of house in front, you will hear the noise as well as vibrations. It gets pretty loud at night even with all windows shut. My relative lives in a condo on the opposite side of the track little further...

    Planned Shopping Plaza - Irvine Blvd & Pusan?

    Irvine trails are nice. My usual weekend activity is riding from Hicks Canyon trail to Peter Canyon all the way to Back Bay. Make a loop around Back Bay then ride back home for 40 miles within 2 hours. No major street crossing. No traffic light.

    New Listing - Helena Plan 3 townhome @ Eastwood (125 Breakwater)

    Bidding war and rent back… it’s still seller market big time. Who wouldve thought RE market still leans heavily on the sellers with 7% mortgage rate? 😀

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Not sure if this is truly credible, dont quote me on it. An IP construction manager just told me that IP is selling OH4 to Toll Brothers for $1 billion. He thinks TB will be the main builder and the new homes will be super expensive considered how how TB pays for the land.

    New Listing - Helena Plan 3 townhome @ Eastwood (125 Breakwater)

    Only one winner. Basically there are still at least 14 serious buyers and counting willing to pay at least $1.4 mil for an attached condo in Irvine. I dont see things getting better for Irvine buyers anytime soon.

    Buying as investment

    I agree with usc about irvine long term appreciation. I bought my Woodbury home the same time and about the same price as my parents buying theirs in Brea which is considered a pretty good city. Theirs is a bigger home but when i sold mine last year, i got 200% return compared to theirs which...

    New Listing - Helena Plan 3 townhome @ Eastwood (125 Breakwater)

    Nice job Usc. It is unreal there are that many offers for 1,700 sqft attached condo with almost $1.4 mil list price. Buyers are getting more desperate even in high interest rate environment.

    Costco is cutting the Polish sausage from the menu

    Only avai in JP. Cost around $3 not as good of a deal as Costco $1.50 but it’s incredible. Wish we have it in the states.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Biggest lot is 5200 sqft. There goes my dream home. Even if i want too, how many buyers will line up fighting for it? IP not being the builder is already a big letdown. I guess i am not moving anywhere for a while 😀.
