jd_signature_real_estate If you’re researching how much it really costs to buy a home in Irvine CA in 2026… the price is only part of the story. Most buyers calculate the mortgage — but forget about: • Property taxes (1.1%–1.35% in many neighborhoods) • Mello-Roos in communities like Great Park & Portola Springs • HOA fees that can range from $150 to $600+ per month That’s how a $1.5M home can land closer to $9,500–$10,000 per month. Irvine is still one of the strongest and most stable markets in Orange County — but smart buying here is about choosing the right neighborhood, not just the right house. If you're searching: “How much does it cost to live in Irvine?” “HOA fees in Irvine neighborhoods?” “Mello-Roos 2026?” Comment “BREAKDOWN” or send me a DM and I’ll run the numbers for your price range. #jdsignaturere #bkplatinumproperties #irvinerealtor #orangecountyrealestate #irvineca

You’ll be more likely to use and enjoy an aesthetically pleasing outdoor area! #outdoors #patio #deck #backyard #homeimprovement #rmsma #JDSignatureRE #BKPlatinumProperties

jd_signature_real_estate You locked in a great interest rate — and that was smart. But the real question is… does the house still fit your life? For many homeowners, staying put means paying for space they don’t use, higher utilities, more maintenance, and more stress — even with a low rate. Downsizing isn’t about giving something up. It’s about lowering expenses, unlocking equity, and creating more freedom. If you’ve even thought about selling or downsizing, DM me SELL and I’ll walk you through the numbers — no pressure, just clarity. #jdsignaturere #bkplatinumproperties #orangecountyrealestate #homesellers #downsizing
