Who is responsible for paying the closing costs for the home buyer on a VA Loan in Orange County, CA? Many real estate agents and the Veterans who are buying the home assume the buyers costs need to be paid by the seller. Or that certain costs, such as the "non-allowables" need to be paid by the seller. This common misconception can make it tough to get an offer to purchase a home accepted if the listing agent assumes the their seller will be paying costs that they wouldn't need to pay with other offers.What are "Non-Allowable Costs"?"Non-Allowables" refer to certain closing costs that the Veteran, in certain situations, cannot pay. This would mean that either the seller, the real estate agents, or the lender (using a lender credit), need to pay them. Non-allowable costs include the esc...

  Irvine CA is in the top 10 cities for growth in the U.S. and keeps on expanding - now with about 230,000 residents. Master-planned since its start in 1971, Irvine was ranked eighth in the country for growth and first in California as it grew by 4.2 percent to about 231,000 residents by the end of 2012. Irvine is the largest city geographically in Orange County, is third in population, and sells lots more real estate than any other city in the area.   Homes at Irvine were designed as part of geographic center of the city - with industrial buildings and office space bordering surrounding. Growth is expected to bring with it more than 8,600 students for public schools by 2016 - or 16,651 by 2022 - according to Irvine Unified School District projections, which plans for seven new schools ...

Dr. Choi is expected to appreciate local businesses in the city, lots of good jobs in the private sector, that Irvine has some of the best public schools in California, that The Irvine Company continues to develop its villages and build new homes, and that Irvine continues to be one of the safest cities with beautiful residential communities in America. He will probably also like it that REALTORs® and real estate professionals continue to sell more real estate at Irvine as compared with all other cities in Orange County ... and most others in Southern California.  Explore Turtle Rock Irvine  967 Irvine homes have resold since sta...

  Irvine CA real estate has lack of sufficient inventory of homes for sale during this time to satisfy buyer demand. Irvine has 190 homes listed for sale on the MLS - as of today March 14, 2013. 238 Irvine homes went into "backup" or "pending" status during the past 30 days. More Irvine homes are being sold now on a monthly basis than the number the market has for sale. 87 of those listed are detached single family residential properties, and 103 of the Irvine homes listed are attached or condo properties.   Buyers continue to move forward, and 419 Irvine homes have sold with closed escrows so far this year 2013. This number of sold Irvine homes is modest during this time only because of extremely low number of homes listed for sale. Irvine average market time is unbelievably fast, and ...
