12/20/2002 Sold $822,500truly a testimony of the staying power of the rich. well over 3 years and keeps on going.
what is equally amazing is there’s 10 homes on the same street on the MLS. granted it is a long street, but…
the backyard is essentially non-existant. who were the target buyers for these homes? you would think most folks paying close to and over $1 million would want some type of a yard…
given the lack of signficant backyard, I doubt any buyer would need to be concerned about the street noise, you’ll be indoor with the windows closed the great majority of the time.
of course there’s the same old issue of outrageous mello roos and HOA.
Participantto clarify, the 4S developer is Newland Communities. California West is one of the guest builders.
btw, went back and scanned through most of the purchase prices. generally we are looking at $720k to $780k. remember, CalWest bought these lots for the low $200k, so they did quite well overall with these communities.
btw, these new tracts are overwhelmingly dominated by Chinese buyers, on one street I’m looking at 12/17 are of Mainland Chinese origin.

Participantwhat we needed was a marshmallow test for the housing market.
actually, there was.
people were told you can either buy a house at the peak or wait 5 years and you’ll be able to buy 2 houses for the same price.
some people didn’t listen and bought at the peak.
those who did wait got their reward.
what really drives this home is I actually know someone that bought at the peak. foreclosed, and became a full blown alcoholic from the whole process. how’s that for anecdotal evidence.

Participant[quote=Oxford][quote=ocrenter]just wondering how big is the lawn for $180 per month.
and does he do other things such as trimming of trees and bushes and clearing of weeds as part of his job.
I suppose if he does, he could have come and done the other things even though he could not mow the lawn.[/quote]
It is a half acre lot. He has a guy do some weeding but there are not many weeds now. I trim the Queen Palms and leave the fronds for them. He just cuts grass, trims, some weeding, blows and fertilizes.
I am usually out there pointing stuff out and my girlfriend brings them water and oranges when it is hot in the summer. She has big boobs so they enjoy that.

…El Jefe[/quote]regarding the gf comment. I’m shocked he actually missed coming over that week! can we say wet T-shirt with the rain?!
second, ever thought about going artificial, on the grass that is. we just changed over and I’m expecting 4 years for the return on investment.
