Chapter 347 Foothill Ranch 2

While the real estate agent was calling the ranch owner, Xie Zihao looked at the latest property information posted on the wall of the real estate company.

After looking around, he found that if the average house price in Irvine next door was about 60% that of Pasadena, then the average house price here in Lake Forest City was a little more than 60% that of Irvine.

Too cheap!

Xie Zihao had the urge to buy at the bottom and wait for appreciation in the new century.

After all, in his memory, it seemed that in the first decade of the 21st century in his previous life, housing prices in the Los Angeles metropolitan area on the west coast and the San Francisco metropolitan area had risen sharply. He didn't know how many factors of Tang immigrants were involved in this. He only remembered the experience.

After the 2008 crisis, housing prices there have risen to new highs again.

Although the world is different, Xie Zihao feels that housing prices in Los Angeles will also rise sharply in this world.

Fortunately, he resisted this impulse in time. If he had not obtained that batch of gold treasures, then he would definitely have to use the maximum amount of funds to mortgage and get loans, buy a few more houses in good locations, and wait for the appreciation in value.

It is a small effort to leverage the rising housing prices in Los Angeles.

But now the treasures he has obtained are just gold, which is enough for ordinary people to spend lavishly in several lifetimes. In addition, most of his thoughts are on cultivation, so this desire to make money has been reduced a lot.

However, taking advantage of the downturn in housing prices, it is still a good choice to buy a few pieces of land and real estate for personal use and investment.

The real estate agent once took two people to look at several nearby small ranches. It turned out that Xie Zihao was either dissatisfied with the area or the environment.

Tom Walton felt a little nervous and patiently introduced the two customers:

Xie Zihao also knew that the young man opposite, dressed in flashy clothes, was the current heir or head of the Stevenson family, David Stevenson.

Xie Zihao drove next to two cars, and then the three of them got out of the car to meet each other.

“Although it is not comparable to affluent areas like Los Angeles and Pasadena, medical care and education are at an above-average level in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, second only to Irvine City, which is known as a university town next door.

In recent years, many people have chosen to buy property in the North District of Linhu City. Currently, the total population of Linhu City has exceeded 80,000. Of course, most of the wealth is concentrated in the North District, which has a smaller population."

Because Linhu City is not very big, they quickly arrived at the northernmost end of the North District, which is the Foothill Ranch Community.

The small number of people is not a problem. Xie Zihao, a high-end apartment community, did not consider it at all. Let’s not talk about the size of the house. Living in an apartment here is basically not much different from an apartment in Pasadena. On the contrary, something like Peron Manor is more suitable for him.

In this way, it is easy to isolate his dojo from the outside world, so that his practice will be less disturbed. Moreover, he now has the ability to mirror jump and can travel between the apartment and the dojo at any time.

At this time, there is only one ranch left for sale.

Melinda also said: "The environment is quite good, but there are fewer people..."

Soon Tom Walton had contacted several ranchers on the phone who had listed them for sale, and now he could go and see them on the spot.

"The last ranch is also the largest ranch in this area, covering 220 acres. Further north is the real mountainous area of ​​the Santa Ana Mountains, not the slopes here. Part of this ranch belongs to the mountainous area, so

Although the area is large, the usable area is only about one hundred acres."

Xie Zihao nodded while driving.

Tom Walton kept introducing the situation of Linhu City to Xie Zihao along the way.

"Actually, the current Foothill Ranch community includes parts of several surrounding communities. It was originally the area of ​​Foothill Ranch, an industry created by the Stevenson family. However, after several changes in the past hundred years, the land of Foothill Ranch has been shrinking.

, over the years, more than a dozen ranches, large and small, have been divided and sold by the descendants of this family."

There was already a pickup truck and a car parked at the gate, and two people were standing next to the car waiting.

“In the late 1980s, the local government was committed to creating a safe and excellent living environment, so it merged two communities in the north of the city into Linhu City, and cooperated with real estate companies to plan and build multiple high-end apartments and high-end communities nearby.

By creating good living conditions and supporting facilities, North District became a middle-class and above-rich area."

From a distance, it seemed that Xie Zihao already had an idea in his mind about the ranch located at the foot of the mountain.

"And now this Foothills Ranch should be the last piece of land left here by the original Foothills Ranch owner family."

"So our company has also opened a branch here in Linhu City. Another agent and I are in charge of the business here, but she went to another city to show clients houses today, so she is not in the company."

Xie Zihao didn't waste any time and asked the agent to get into his car and drive towards the north of the city.

In fact, along the way, the natural environment around Linhu City is still very beautiful. After all, it is adjacent to the Santa Ana Mountains, and is surrounded by wildlife refuges, Orange County Zoo and other places. There are also lakes and water sources, so it can be said to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Already.

Melinda also understood Xie Zihao's plan. From the last time the office was attacked, Melinda also saw that it is indeed best for extraordinary people like them to have less contact with ordinary people.

"In the early years, the economy in Linhu City was poor, the population was mixed, and there were many African-Americans living in the urban area. The public security was relatively worrying, so many potential buyers generally chose to give up when they saw the situation here."

"If the ranch I look at this time is suitable, I'm going to build a larger manor there."

Walton pointed to the road to the north and said:

"After here is the area of ​​several ranches. Although it is a bit far away from the city, it is enough to get there within 20 minutes' drive from the northernmost ranch."

He said to Melinda:

With his current eyes, it is easy to see clearly the trend of Feng Shui veins. He feels that he should at least find a place with sufficient spiritual energy, preferably with spiritual veins underground, as a dojo.

Xie Zihao was a little surprised when he heard this. Seeing his expression in the rearview mirror, Tom Walton smiled and explained:

The large gate and signboard, as well as the neat white-painted railings around it, although it has not been renovated for some time and looks old and mottled, can still see the glory of the pasture at the foot of the mountain.

Under the introduction of the real estate agent, the two parties got to know each other briefly.

"That's right, it's the Foothill Ranch community."

“The name of the ranch is Foothill Ranch!”

After hearing this, Xie Zihao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Obviously, the saying that wealth cannot last more than three generations is universally applicable. Without sufficient foundation and methods to cultivate qualified next generations, even a family that was once rich will decline.

Soon, following the somewhat dilapidated road built in the early years, the car arrived at the gate of the foothill ranch.

Another middle-aged man dressed simply is Tucker Simmons, the director of the ranch.

This David Stevenson looks like a playboy-type young man, with some Latino-white appearance. His eyes when he looks at Melinda are sticky and wet. At first glance, he is a salty pervert.

.

However, he might be in a hurry to sell the ranch, so this person was not too presumptuous. He quickly looked back and introduced Xie Zihao with a smile on the glorious history of his family's creation of the foothill ranch.

And Xie Zihao noticed that the other person was looking at him with enthusiasm, and it was obvious that this person had probably recognized his identity.
