Anyone else surprised by this sale price? Or is that the market in WB?

I'm shocked this sold at all given all the "mismatched" window treatments and the lack of shutters in every.single.window.

FWIW, I don't think that's the market in WB.  I think this is more the "market". mid $400s.http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/62-Sanctuary-92620/home/5958880

One more thing the Feng Shui Address Factor. Add the address 6 +2 =8!!!! (Success in business, physical power, material prosperity)
 
If my memory is good, 66 Tall Cedars was owned by a TI member.  I know, I wanted that lot but he/she beat me to it.  Sonoma 3 bedroom for $1.2 million, who would've thought.

62 Sanctuary is a steal compared to 66 Tall Cedars, Villa Rosas has MR R6, which expires in Aug 2015 (1 more year!).  That will be a savings of $1800/year.  Sonomas has R7 = $800/year until Sept 2036

Agent for 66 Tall Cedars is either extremely skilled or lucky
 
Absolutely shocking price.. wonder what the real story is (if there is one).  Dual agent with a cash buyer.  Setting a huge new high for WB.  I was looking at 62 Sanctuary and thought it sold on the low side.

50% tax free profit in just 4 years (assuming they're married).  Nicely done.
That's for the federal return, but for CA state they will be taxed.

Are you sure about that?  I have always read that CA follows Fed on this primary residence capital gains exclusion rule.

+1  See below....

"Capital Gains on the Sale of a Principal Residence...
For sales and exchanges of residences occurring after May 6, 1997,
California law allows the taxpayer to exclude from gross income the
gain realized on the sale or exchange up to a maximum amount. The
exclusion is allowed if the taxpayer used the residence as a principal
residence for two of the previous five years. The subsequent purchase
of another residence is not required. The exclusion for a given sale
is limited to $250,000 for single income tax filers and $500,000 for
married taxpayers filing jointly. Exclusions can be claimed for
additional sales or exchanges providing the above conditions are met.
California law waives a portion of the two-year occupancy rule for
Peace Corp volunteers. Additionally, it does not conform to federal
transitional provisions which allow certain taxpayers to elect prior
tax treatment for certain sales."

I am positive.

Maybe next time your positive you may want to say "almost positive," "pretty sure," "almost certain" etc.

Largest lot in PP is up for resale already.  It's a Hawthorne but forget what plan.  Lot size is 13,400 sq ft - they had an open house yesterday and I walked through, everything is standard and no landscaping yet.  Couldn't find it on Redfin but asking price is $1.68M.

Lot is nice but awkward shape.  It's a corner lot with no one in front or behind, location is great except for that it's near to the 4 story townhomes that are under construction.  It does sit above those but who knows how much noise they'll get once all those ruffians move in.
