Irvine Home Address ... 25 NEEDLE GRASS Irvine, CA 92603
Resale Home Price ...... $7,799,000

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Neil Young -- Harvest Moon

IHB News

Our big event is scheduled for Sunday evening from 5:00 to 9:00 at JT Schmids at the District.

I know we have been building this event as an meeting for investors, and those discussions will be a major component of the evening, but as with all previous IHB gatherings, it is also a social event where people can meet and see the faces behind the blog names.

We want to share in the success of Ideal Home Brokers, and what better way to do that than throw a party?

Everyone who reads the Irvine Housing Blog is invited, as are the clients of Ideal Home Brokers. If you're curious, a lurker, a fan, even if you disagree with everything I write, you're welcome to come. Don't stay away just because you may not be interested in investment. If you read the IHB, we want you to stop by.

Based on the emails I have received I am anticipating a strong turnout. I hope to see you Sunday Evening.
