After seeing this property I became compelled to give them an award:

Days on market: 211

 

I’m sure everyone has an award or two to give out so lets see ‘em.

I’m just a poor ole Floridian, but those prices, even as they stand now, seem to me to be out in orbit somewhere.

This condo is nearby to where I live at east woodbridge lake. Mostly elderly people and small white dogs with screeching barks live there. Not an attractive area for younger or middle aged folks.

The high end is utterly disgusting.  When you’re not watchin’ American idol one night, take a look at redfin.com.  Search for properties between 2-5 million in OC.  When you see the recent sales prices you will have a myocardial infarction.

I think in some ways the high end was inflated the most.  The people who were making tons of money and had poor saving habits bought these places hoping to get super duper rich.  A 20% gain on a million dollar property is 200,000 where a 10% gain on a 500k place is only 100,000.  Big difference in $$$ amount.

 

Considering the insane leverage abilities (100% financing), the belief that real estate always goes up, and the high end is immune, the high priced properties went to the moon.  The posers and speculators have been driven out of the market.  The smart people who actually have big bucks are sitting on the sidelines.  It’s only down from here!

Screw Idol.  I’m enjoying Super Nanny right now…  Makes me feel like Super Parent!
239 properties priced over $1M right now in Irvine.  That’s a fourth of the friggin’ inventory.  I think we definitely could have a top down driven decline in Irvine.

OMG look at this!

Purchased 12/30/2004 for $956,000

 

Listed at $2,895,000!!  On the market for eight months!

 

That means from the time the home was purchased to the time it was listed was only 2 1/2 years!

 

This nincompoop is looking for a payday of $1,939,000 in only 30 months.  WTF?  Why even work?  You could have refinanced one time and lived off the tax-free cash and lived like a king.
