1) Interest rates will go up...question is how fast and how high. We are able to buy in Irvine largely because the interest is low. If you bump the interests up a few points, some people will get priced out.

dont you think there are others like you and if you and those like you would get priced out due to a rate increase, dont you think that would shrink the demand side of the equation leading to lower prices?

Definitely...but you would get a stalemate. Prices won't go down and a few buyers would be available. Just means that people get stuck renting in a rising rent market.
But IndieDev said TIC doesn't stop building.qwerty said:if demand stayed low and TIC wanted to move product they would have no choice but to drop the price to match the buyers affordability levels. or they may just halt construction, let the demand build up for a couple of years, raise prices 20% from their current levels and wait for the suckers, i mean FCBs to come to the rescue.

i would agree that you would get a stalemate at first, but if demand stayed low and TIC wanted to move product they would have no choice but to drop the price to match the buyers affordability levels. or they may just halt construction, let the demand build up for a couple of years, raise prices 20% from their current levels and wait for the suckers, i mean FCBs to come to the rescue.

Current on the left, IHO-style on the right:
Same space, same number of homes but in this configuration, you get 4 cul-de-sacs and 8 more lots that are "corner" lots. Wouldn't that be better?
And if you're worried about the Feng Shui T homes, you can add another cross street in the middle that would add 4 more corner lots (but I think you lose 2 homes).

Chairman said:Just the two of us...

Make that 3 of us. Of course I also know for a fact there are at least 2 other members that's on here that's also CV residents. How do I know? Because I talked with them in person. But they are not the posting types. :
Anyhow I was wondering if anyone knows what developments are coming next for Cypress Village???? There's a big plot of land between the elementary school, Marigold, apartments, and Jade Court. From satellite view it looks like it's being graded for single family homes.
