Johns Creek Homes and Real Estate

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Irvine is not JC and JC will never become Irvine. Irvine is a 24"x 36" puzzle and so is JC exactly the same at 24"x 36". A JC puzzle cost less because it only consists of 100 pieces. Irvine puzzle cost much more because it is made up of 5,000 tiny pieces. Consider yourself lucky and happy because you own a large piece of puzzle. You got to stop these comparisons. JC will never be able to divide 24"x36" into 1,000 pieces let alone 5,000 pieces. Land value is based on supply and demand. Irvine's limited land inventory and strategic constricted supply pump upward pressure on demand thus increasing appreciation. JC land is plentiful where supply will always outweighs demand.

What is important is that you are happy and satisfied with your choices. Why constantly looking back at Irvine. Your quality of life is not a function of your past nor approval from TalkIrvine. Do yourself a favor start TalkJC and you will find members who would be far more engaging with a common goal.
 
Irvinehomeshopper,

I agree that Johns Creek will never be Irvine and the current real estate prices reflect this. Irvine has better weather, beaches close by, strong job market. I would be first to admit that if all things were equal in price, Irvine would be a much nicer place to live than Johns Creek.

"JC land is plentiful where supply will always outweighs demand."

Irvinehomeshopper, I respectfully disagree on this statement. JC is mostly built out at this time and land is scarce within the city limits. Buyers are hungry to buy new, but hardly any inventory to buy new. New single family homes bought in JC in 2012 for $250k are now worth $360k. Inventory in Johns Creek cannot compare to Irvine... I understand this is due to supply and demand. I believe Trojan said there was about 1.8 month of inventory but now there is 2.9 months of inventory in Irvine, and Johns Creek currently has about 3.5 months of inventory. Irvine appreciated 300% from 1995 - 2006. I believe that Johns Creek and South Forsyth will only appreciate 200% from 2012 - 2022 because JC is not Irvine.

I am very happy and satisfied the choices I have made. I look back at history of Irvine what I have learned about early Asian pioneers and settlements in SoCal has helped me tremendously here. It was my hypothesis 4 years ago. Today what I thought would happen here 4 years ago is a reality now.

"Your quality of life is not a function of your past nor approval from TalkIrvine."

I have no need for approval from TalkIrvine, but would like to stay connected with some of the original members of IHB and would like to contribute and help others whenever I can.

I think we can now close this book of Johns Creek and Irvine comparisons.

C'mon people give this guy Baby Irvine a break. He is testing out his hypothesis by uprooting his family to the other side of the country by applying the history he learned about early Asian pioneers and settlements in SoCal. Asian often drive up RE prices due to their behaviorial and lifestyle tendencies in other cities with similar contexts in a built environment that offers safety, education, job opportunities, shopping, eating and most importantly new housing. He is not trying to solicit business here and if he is then he is beyond stupid. TI members are not risk takers and would not even venture out 10 miles radius to buy anything substantial. Many here are likely to miss opportunities like IHO. To go across country as a Lone Ranger to drop $ 1/2 mil on some RE is extremely remote base on many personality traits I see here. Baby Irvine is just over zealous and regretting the early missed opportunities in Irvine knowing that chance will never appear again. He feels JC is a place where he will find that home price appreciation and redemption he regrettably made years ago. He certainly is hoping that some members with a diverse background who knows about all facets of developments who would engage in his theory to prove or disapprove it. A word to Baby Irvine, you are wasting your time!

Baby Irvine. Rather than comparing the two why don't you go around and take pictures and post them here why JC is desirable. For examples parks that is really a park, properties are so big there is no fence needed between neighbors, parkways are so huge that trees are thick and clustered in group unlike the scrawny ones spaced every 25', varieties of architecture unlike the the same beige boxes looking all the same, split level where the garages are deliberately bunkered and tucked away unlike the one we are used to seeing at our face and wider than the rest of the house. Educate the deprived with pictures!

Sometimes, there is more to the story than just what appears on the forum. After Baby Irvine's extended hiatus from the site, I contacted him and asked him to please reconsider coming back. So, I guess you can blame me. I'm pretty sure he would have permanently moved on if I hadn't bugged him about it.
 
Dont say that socal. I believe that everything in life happens to us for a reason. Ihb is my first experience of an online community before facebook got popular. It is good to see the few old timers still posting here. I never mentioned this but the day before my california state broker exam, I called up trojan to get together at a nearby sportsbar in irvine. There were couple tough questions I couldnt figure out he helped me solve them. Martin is a good man and in my opinion has the highest financial iq here.

Irvinehomeshopper had a big influence in my decision in moving to atlanta over la. As I had mentioned, I am still very grateful to him til this day.

And socal... you are right .. I probably would have never come back to ti had you not contacted me.... but I am back now... and I am happy to be back.

Guess where I am right now. I am at "I love pho" in k town... and this place is crazy packed, and it almost midnight here :)
 
just had a blast with the kids by the beach yersday. So many beaches to choose from within 2 hour drive.

Johns Creek? 300 miles to the Atlantic Ocean. Only that wanna be investor fraud who could not make it in California would call Johns Creek the next Irvine.
 
California Court Company,

This is getting a little childish.. like arguing with a 5 year old. From what i have read on TI in the last 2 years, the difference between Qwerty and you is that Qwerty is successful and self-made, buying his $700k home in Tustin from hard work and disciple without any form of handout from his parents, whereas someone with your low level of Financial IQ, you are an asian adult in your 30s still living off your parent's money in Irvine. I don't like you and you don't like me.. so let's do each other a favor and just put each other on ignore.

As I had already mentioned, this ends any future posts on Johns Creek and Irvine comparisons.

James Park is worse than SoCal or Qwerty in defending their purchases; at least they do not lie or distort the facts nor gaining financially.

I've never defended my purchase. I've always acknowledged that irvine has a better feel and look than Columbus square. You guys are the ones who think irvine is the end all be all. I have no problem sending my kid to the Tustin schools in Tranch or some of the other schools on north tustin. I just chose what I thought was the better house on a larger lot in a more central location than what was being offered in irvine new construction in the summer of 2012. Like I said, irvine looks better and has a better feel than my neighborhood and I'll be the first to admit that. But I still think I got very good value. I paid high 700s and it's now worth high 900s and I think in a more convenient location than northeast irvine where all the new construction is. And with access to schools just as good as IUSD. So if you want to call that defending my purchase then go ahead. One thing the purchase price is allowing us to do is pay off the house in 9 years when we are 45. And as the area gets continued to be built out hopefully it will appreciate more or at least maintain it's value.

Interesting. Did you bring raincoats for the family? It drizzled yesterday morning at the coast, overcast and chilly throughout the day. It never hit 70.

 
I agree with Mr. Park that there is no need to compare Irvine and Johns Creek - Irvine is much more superior than Johns Creek. Only a fool will try to claim it otherwise.

Mr. Park always cries and whines about not having rich parents to afford Irvine. This reminds me of my 3 year old son that always cries when daddy won't buy every toy in the store for him.

But the real problem here is Mr. Park doesn't have the intelligence, skills or education to make a decent living to support his family, yet he is so full of himself. He thinks he can become a investment specialist but in reality he is just a dishonest salesman who is trying to sell a poor product.

 
you do know cloudy weather is perfect for us right? Asians do not want their kids to have dark tans.

SoCal, you are just being naive. It is OK for Panda to come back and share his life in JC, but he comes back as James, "investment specialist" with his company and contact information in his profile, who is making countless lies to promote real estate in Johns Creek for his own financial gains.

The more he posts here, it just further shows his life is the other opposite. Maybe there is a money problem he cannot make ends meet, maybe there is a marriage problem that his wife is unhappy about moving to Georgia, maybe there is a problem with the kids growing up in a unsafe enviroment...etc. If he is truly happy and successful, he will not bother soliciting his business here at all.

I was happy to help and glad that my input assisted you in passing the broker exam.  You are too kind, there's plenty of financially astute folks on here like Qwerty and Homer just to name a few.  I wish you all the luck in become the Mike Dunn of Johns Creek (with the corny property descriptions...haha).  Next time you are in So Cal, let me know so we can grab some Korean BBQ and catch up.
 
Here you go.
I am a patent laywer, who makes shift load of money in a top 3 pharmaceutical company. I just bought a second home outside of Irvine as an investment.

So I am a financial guru and open to any questions.
