2 new subdivision in - Pines & Willows

Here is what I heard -- there were 6 builders including CA west (builder for Andalucia and Monte Luz) bidding for the last lot in 4S and Pulte homes won the bid.

So there they are -- with 2 new subdivision coming up in 4S Ranch. I sure hope this is the last development in 4S. Monterey Ridge has over 1,000 students already! Still growing. Dr. Newman said at one site council meeting that he would really reluctant to build those trailer classrooms but eventually he gave up.

Pines: 2679 sf to 3262 sf. (I really liked their plan 3) High 600K to Low 700K.

Willows: 3353 sf to 3586 sf Low 700K to High 700K. Total homes 50. Tax & Mello Roos 1.9%.

Where Are We in This Housing Market?


A picture is worth a thousand words.

我个人的感觉是,如果您需要购房自住,现在是很好的买房时机,因为现在的房价和2009年初基本持平。如果投资并能达到正现金流,现在也是很好的时机。如果已经有房或rental,应该转向其他比房地产更好的投资方向。

中国的房地产泡沫和两难。Housing bubbles in China

Empty cities and malls in China. On one side millions of unoccupied houses, on the other side, millions can't afford one.

Celebrities Face Foreclosure Too

The rich and famous are finding they aren’t immune to foreclosure. In the last six months, actor Nicolas Cage, baseball legend Julius “Dr.J” Erving, and hip-hop artist Chamillionaire have gone through foreclosure proceedings, Reuters News reports.

Morgan Brennan of Forbes.com says strategic defaults are becoming more common among celebrities--that’s when a party walks away from a home because of its big loss in value, even though they have enough money to pay the mortgage.
That’s what Erving did. He said his Utah mansion was drastically underwater and so he stopped making his mortgage payments last fall on the home.
"All price points have been hit by the foreclosure crisis,” Brennan told Reuters News. “The rich and famous have not been excluded from that. There are a handful of people in the luxury real estate category that are experiencing foreclosures as well."
