A nicely put together buzz event by 5 Point.  Had my buffet at Kobe today, then came back to the event.  Wonder why they closed off the left turn lane into Ridge Valley from westbound Irvine Blvd? Had to go all the way to Woodbury shopping center to make a U. 

Gravel parking lot, leave heels and flip flops at home.  Food wise, they have an Australian coffee place (pretty good!), cookies, pies, lemonade.  Two balloon artists (smart), and a kid's play area in the back with a giant Connect Four. 

As for the homes, I got my brochures and floorplans.  Nothing jaw dropping so far.  Torrey's at $1.4 million with the Mello at $10k, ouch.  Stanpac has the most complete brochures compared to the rest of the builders.  Ryland's got two of their homes in one generic folder.  K.hov just got a bunch of papers stapled together without a cover or folder.  Lennar's Larkspur has a nice glossy look brochure.  HOA's range from $141 to $216.

Btw- Does the brochures matter? I'm ok with a black and white price sheet. I just care about the price and low Hoa.
 
Nicely put together.  Helpful staff, fun activities for the kids and yummy cookies!

Enjoyed my chai latte and americano.. Digging some of the floor plans they have to offer.  Some great properties for investment purposes as the elementary is a big plus!

Only downside was the parking... I think the underside of the lambo is all dinged up :/
 
The floor plans for ellwood Richmond American is pretty meh..

Price starting from the high $700ks with the smallest plan at 2081-2230 sqft.  Believe these are the lowest prices SFR in BP.

wtf..  all SFR (except ellwood)are over a million.
Melody Condo is high 900K (close to a million)
Rosemont 1901 from low 1million...  that's over $500 per sqrt..

Ouch ... those prices are not as friendly as I thought.

And Welton did raise their price from what they originally posted on their website.

By the way, Ellwood is NOT an SFR. It is a detached condo with shared lots. That puts the smallest SFR over $1 million.

My bad.. Im' just going off what they have on that brochure.. Harper's brochures were all gone when I went there to check it out.  That is one of the hottest tracts I heard.

Did anyone notice the dominant demographic at the event? 
 
Typical Irvine turnout, mostly Asian, 3 generations in tow.

How come every time I go to new home openings, I always end up appreciating my current house more and more? 

So BP is about $2000/year more than PP MR?
 
Here are the MR's for most of the tracts

Rowland: 4762?5450
Harper: 5112?6041
Ellwood: 6041?7532
Welton: 6041?7532
Melody: 6592?8190
Lakespur: 6041?9027
Rosemont: 5328?9027
Silvermist: 8190?12303
Torrey: 9961?10478

Some random notes:
Master HOA: 146
Melody lot size: 3800-4200sqft
Ellwood will have 5 lots with driveway off a main street similar to a few lots they had in PP

When I was there, 9/10 people were Indian. 

I saw in one of the hand outs they gave us that for some events they are having at BP will be: Satur-Day Happenings, Cooking Demos, Pop-Up-Culture, "DIWALI" and Holiday Brunch... wth..

Broadcom?  Who knows?  Maybe I succeeded in driving out FCBs by posting the cemetery site in the Torrey thread?

But according to irvine dream, Indians are really cheap. Will they be actual buyers or just there for the free food?
 
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but like bones, I'm in floorplans overload.

All these tracts are running together in terms of pricing and layout.

Seems like BP has jumped on the Irvine pricing train and is not only priced higher than most thought, but also has higher MRs than PP.

Congrats to all the PP buyers who got in while it was cheap.

Yup, Congrats to PP buyers, especially the Sagewood and Rosemist initial phase buyers.  Since the starting prices are high for BP may be jumping on to the initial phases may not be that beneficial.  As far as I could tell, prices in the mid million ranges all had somewhat of a difficult time selling or increasing prices from phase to phase (for example Harmony by KHOV, Melrose by Ryland, Sausalito by Shea in Stonegate, Saviero by TM in Groves, Vicenza by KB in Groves etc).  Or the builders of BP know something we don't .

On another note Torrey "low million" starts at 1.4 million.  Hence would the "low million" of Stafford will also be close to 1.4 million?

"The reasons behind Orange County?s housing-cost challenges are complex and well chronicled: limited land supply and aversion to high-density housing, coupled with an expanding job market, a growing well-to-do class and worldwide appeal to investors and vacation-home seekers.

But with no easy solutions in sight, limited home affordability has forced many workers to take long commutes or to double up with families or friends under one roof."

Early PP buyers certain got a good deal...just got in before the jump in pricing.  Although I didn't care for the location, Lambert Ranch buyers should also be smiling.

I haven't paid attention to BP at all (although the ironic nature of the initials BP and the toxic/military land is amusing to me).  From what I have seen, it seems like they're failing to play up their biggest trump card of having bigger lots than rest of Irvine.  Should be interesting to see BP v. Greenwood. 

Hey, a lot more free food and stuff for me in the next few months!

High $1.1 for Stafford according to the sales rep. 
 
Are the MRs that much more?  Comparing to what I paid.. sounds in line with the sq footage.. maybe someone else can chime in on comparable. 

Time to cash out guys. I'm moving to John's creek baby.
