Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers
- Thread starter usctrojancpa
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
East Asians (and others who remove shoes indoors) tend to like carpet in bedrooms and sitting areas in my experience. I was also shocked at how much higher end carpet can cost, easily gets into nicer hardwood/natural stone territory.
I don't think the home is done up too bad - easily salvageable IMO, but like others said the furniture lets it down. Your typical $2mm+ new construction buyer should just hand Restoration Hardware a check and have them furnish and decorate the place - interior design services complimentary as long as you buy everything through them!
$5m+ getting you a true estate in Shady Canyon with about a 1/2 acre.
It's not so much about the yard/lot size even as it is about privacy that the folks with that kind of money want. Shady Canyon has the lowest density of homes compared to any other village by a country mile.
If I'm punking down $5m+ for a home, it better have an infinity pool with a view lot and no one looking down on me along with a 4-8 car garage.
Good point. I think when we talk about " I would rather buy *** than spend money in *** " the ultimate question is - who are the buyers with $$ today and it is those buyers from Asia. And they are voting with their feet (and $$) by choosing this new construction community over the supposed value in other older established communities.
Personally I also think this particular home is over priced and probably sits there for a while. But, to be fair people have their own reservations about Newport Coast and its lack of accessibility to everyday convenience and community, something which many of the Asian buyers may prize more than that thin silver of an ocean view (but no ocean access).
I guess this proves that these real estate website estimates are garbage. haha
Oh man, that would be classic. I hope the realtor doesn't correct the price so we can see if it happens. haha

Looking through these photos got me nauseous. Ugh! If you have money and no taste please hire a professional. This is perfect exhibit A on this point. Re painting, staging, taking down those gawd awful photos is key to making a sale on this property for even close to what they are asking for it. And please add some backyard photos on this fabulous 12k soft home.
Hope the sellers take those chandeliers with them when moving. It's like the same ugly chandelier picked out in different styles and sizes and thrown into every corner of this house.

Anyday allday over this hidden canyon listing. But then again everyone has different tastes (obviously). That's just me. If I'm going to pay these prices I better be seeing or at least smelling the ocean.

I don't care if this is a former model home, there's no way in hell it's going to close near the asking price of nearly $700sf...

I was surprised that Ronnie wasn't the listing agent though. haha

Going once... going twice... calling all Best & Final offers. Act now!
Seriously, though, how long is it gonna take the agent to figure this out. The listing has been up nearly 24 hours already. I saw it last night and thought it would surely be fixed by morning. I guess he doesn't pay good attention. Weird.
