Looks like it's gonna rain this weekend, so anyone who's going out there should bring some rain gear and be careful not to slide and all on the mud.


The preview is next weekend, sound advice though
I thought it was this weekend.  But yeah, if it rained a few days before the preview people should be really careful where they walk so they don't take a nasty spill.  I say that from experience on a commercial construction site, I got myself all mudded up that day.

Mud in an M3 = not good
 
So what do you think is the extra cost for rolling in MR?  An extra $80k?  ~$4000 per year at 20 year bond...

Adjusted for inflation it's probably more.

Take/Post pics please from this weekend.. won't be in town...

this app would come in handy..http://appshopper.com/photography/fast-camera

they probably won't let us take pics. according to the salesperson, the model homes are yet to be furnished.

i tried taking pics once at a model preview before it went public and practically confiscated my cellphone.
hence the app.. try it.. and make sure the phone is on silent.. pretend ur on a call.. can take ~100 pics in 12-15 seconds...

i would go if i could.. our anniversary weekend... gonna be in LA
 
Kinda a side question, and maybe it had been talked about already and I missed it, but does anyone know whether the rolling in of the MR to the price is an overall less cost for the buyer?  I could see them rolling it in to keep the prices up, but that will raise taxes and potentially lead to a drop in value when the surrounding areas lose their MRs in 30 years.

havent done the exact math, but now that the MR is rolled into the price, the interest component is deductible, whereas MR taxes are not deductible (well most of it is not deductible at least).  While some people would still deduct the MR as a property tax, for higher earners, the property taxes gets phased out and you cant deduct it, so for those people, rolling the MR into the purchase price is probably preferred.  I dont believe they rolled the MR to keep the prices high, they were already going to be high. Some people just dont like the idea of paying MR.  When the MR expires in future communities in 20-30 years, or whenever, that wont lead to price drops necessarily at lambert ranch, it will actually increase the value of the homes where the MR is expiring because the buyers can a higher payment due to there being no MR, therefore the seller will ask for a higher price to build in the MR that is no longer there.

Why pay all the MR now when you can pay in future inflated dollars.

if you get a mortgage you are paying in future inflated dollars. way to be an advocate for MR.

He is because the tainted Tustin fields have ridiculously high MR.
 
I like Plan 3 in the Fields.

I like Plan 1 downstairs and Plan 2 upstairs in the Hill.

I like Plan 1 downstairs and Plan 2 upstairs in the Grove, and Plan 3 except for the rear garage.
 
Most of those floorplans look great! A couple are quite "different", in a good way. Irvine Pacific can learn something from The New Home Company, instead of the tired and reused floorplans with minor alterations that they seem to use from development to development. I'm looking forward to the previews this weekend!
