Or it could be the Chinese government cracking down on their gold mine.

LOL 1 week turnaround with 0 improvements. Bought for $1M cash and trying to flip for $280k profit in a week? Listing agent is the owner of the property. He's also shamelessly using the same pictures from the previous listing instead of taking his own pictures.
This man is insane. I hope he isn't thinking he can 1031 flip this to avoid short-term gains as the IRS frowns upon short term 1031s.

Sold June 2020 - $900k (List was $948k)
Resold Feb 2022 $1.5m
A little less than 1% per month ROI on a piece of raw land that will take 10 years to build on given permits, etc.

It'll sell for over $2m.
xlunaxoreox said:Hard to believe it is not a bubble?when homes are selling for 300k more in 2 months (similar cv homes sold for 1.72 in dec). When I look at Redfin home sales, the volumes for Jan 2022 were higher than pre pandemic days. How can inventory be lower if transacted sales are higher? Or maybe buyers are less discerning. Feels like a trend fueled by fomo rather than by fundamentals.
One thing that hasn?t been mentioned is the amount of FCBs that are getting loans based off of 40% down payment with East West Bank with adjustable rates. No income check with that bank if you do 40% down. If interest rates ever climb significantly, a lot of those buyers might be forced to sell. But who knows if it will be an issue since they are probably loaded with $$.Irvinehomeseeker said:xlunaxoreox said:Hard to believe it is not a bubble?when homes are selling for 300k more in 2 months (similar cv homes sold for 1.72 in dec).

Its the demand! Buyers from outside of Irvine ( Bay Area, LA, FCB) all lining up to buy in Irvine. There seems to more high paying jobs croping up in Irvine and surrounding cities. So yes, as inventory comes on it gets depleted at a faster rate of buildup! Buyers moving into Irvine have lots of money it looks like, so that's why they can bid up so high.
Right now any newer Irvine SFR above 2800$ easily commands 2 million based on recent homes that I have seen in Stonegate, EW, Cypress Village, OH

Very risky. I think this will be a big issue for the 2m+ homes.teddybear said:Yes this is also true with Cathay Bank as well. My Mainland Chinese neighbor did this for multiple properties in Irvine which he rented out all of them.

Why would FCBs take out a loan? If they need to take out a loan, then they wouldn't be called FCB.
