I arrived back at my office at about 9:00 am this morning, to see members of the Irvine Police Dept and the OC Fire Authority at work. There had been a car fire literally outside my office window, and I had missed all the action! Here's what I saw when I got back. I spoke to the owner who said that the car had over 250,000 miles on it.Imagine his surprise to get the call telling him to come downstairs....

Irvine has been one of the most progressive cities in California over the few two years thanks to the wide variety of opportunities that the city has to offer. More young families have relocated to Irvine as was recently confirmed by NerdWallet.com who ranked Irvine number five on their list of best cities in California for young families. Get To Know Irvine   Did you know that in Irvine, the median home price is $661,700, and we have some of the best schools in California? A recent survey by www.greatschools.org, and the California Department of Education, we know that 85.1 percent of students who graduated high school in Irvine back in 2009 ultimately went to college. Culture and Variety   Besides the obvious benefits that schools in Irvine’s educational system have to offer young fam...

One shouldn't expect to see many homes in "The Landings" on the market for sale, (usually they're snapped up pretty fast!), however, right now three are listed, (all in Landing I), including my listing at 12 Silverbreeze, a gorgeous home, priced at $1,375,000.    Also Active are 4 Cottoncloud, an NOD listing, priced at $1,300,000, and 27 Earlymorn, still priced at $1,250,000, after 238 days on the market. This home failed to sell back in March 2006, (listed at $1,290,000, and it was relisted with the same Irvine real estate agent in May last year.    Just one Landings home is in escrow right now, and this is my latest Landing II listing at 20 Emerald. I listed this home on January 27th, and I sold it the next day! We close escrow at the end of this month.    Click on the photo below to ...
