YLgirl said:First time homebuyer here, moving down to Irvine from NorCal to be closer to my family. I am looking to purchase a townhome (Plan 2 or 3) at Lapis. I am a big fan of the Portola Springs area but unfortunately the other developments are getting out of my price range (such as Sierra). Do you think Lapis will hold its value/increase in value in the next few years? I know this is hard to predict, but I am hoping to live here for a few years and then eventually either sell and move into a larger home or turn it into an investment property.
I've been waiting for prices to stabilize or fall for the last couple of years and am worried if I don't get in now, I will be out of luck, especially in the Irvine area.
Welcome to TI. Have you considered buying resale versus new construction? I'm not sure Lapis will make for a good rental property. I potentially have a few pocket listings of newer properties if you are open to buying resale. Just PM or email me.
