Partly because I’m a sucker, no, ENTIRELY because I’m a sucker, I’m going to put some effort into detailing some of the closed transactions here in Irvine since 1/1/2008. 

I’ll list:
Address
Beds
Sqft (reported)
Close Date
Low list price
Commissions offered
Close price
and manually add in amount of initiated loans.

The link is here.

Data are highlighted green when confirmed, and yellow if they are “suspicious.“

This should give us a real estimate of how much $$$ buyers are bringing to the table now.

I’m not savvy enough to put together a website to handle viewings.  If I were, I would be able to drive a car nicer than Ipop’s 4-year-old kid.  (BTW, spinners on a Toys R Us Jeep is friggin reeeeeediculous, dude!)

Please bear with me on the attachments, in excel so that you may eviscerate them to your hearts’ content.

And when you speak of me, speak well…

I’m berry berry interested.  Thank you for your efforts.

looking forward to it!

very nice conrtribuition

Nude: any tips?

Where is the “Thanks” button?

If it’s an excel file, the forum software may not be able to upload it as an image.  If you want, send it to me via PM and I can try to convert to pdf and then convert to jpg, and otherwise make it so it can be posted here.

+1

This is the type of info I wish Redfin would keep in its sales history.

Trying not to go the route of pdf or jpg because of the loss of functionality.

See if this works…

It’s still a work in progress, but I’m on top of getting info updated later.

Let me know preferences on sorting (currently close date, then ascending price, if I recall correctly) or other data that are of interest.

SUCCESS!  Thx Eva, zovall, and Nude for the tips. 

Enjoy.

Linky no worky for me.  :(

Doesn’t work for me either :-(

ditto.  I’m really excited for “The Big Reveal” though !

Good news: Yahoo briefcase still has my old MBA thesis and coursework available for sharing. 
More good news: My “bullriding adventures” in Jalisco are also still enshrined there, too!

Bad news: Now they’ve changed their policy to reflect that only “premium service” accounts can publicly share files.

- I’ve got a site pending to post to the info to.  It won’t be sexy yet, but it’ll show up.  Thx for your patience.

It should be live now.

If at first you do not succeed - try, try again…

Irvine Sales for 2008

Those are some high down payments!  I like that.

worked for me. thx
wow most of the homes r 100% down pmt. am i missing something here.

the down payment is column F minus Column I ...so if he has updated it with the loan amount yet then it will say 100%.  The ones that are highlighted in green are the ones he has updated

I think a second page for averages would also be useful

All I can say is wow.  Where do all of the 100% down people come from and how do I get signed up for their approach to finances?  Even all of the homes in the “green zone” seem to be using between 20 and 50% !?!  Thanks for all of the work that it must have taken to compile all of that!

On a side note however, doesn’t this show just how resilient the communities might be to price reductions?  Since so many are putting well above 20% (not to mention the scores and scores of 100% cash buyers)... where will the pressure to sell come from?  The first thought I had was, these people can simply live in their homes and ride out the crisis… making it much less of a crisis…?

It’s already been said on here many, many, many, many times before.  Rich Chinese buy homes with cash.  But all you doom and gloomers did not believe.

Considering that all of five paid cash in the month of January, and IR2 hasn’t updated Feb, March, or April yet, it seems to me the doom and gloomers were right.  But you’re a troll so maybe I should take my own advice.

No, I always believed.  But, it’s probably just a mix.

Looks like for January sales, average sale price was $792K, with 33% down…

Good stuff IR2, very good stuff.

February numbers have been completed.
