What do you all think that might buy someone in North county?

Just playing the what if and when game.

It currently buys you a 1/1, approx 900 sq ft. It's tough make an accurate prediction, but certainly the price per sq ft is poised to decrease, so 200,000 in one year will likely buy something larger.

There are 16 active listings of 3 and 4 bedroom detached homes in Oceanside, and another 15 actives in Escondido.

Granted, most people aren't enamored with living in these areas, but $200,000 is already starting to mean something.

Bugs, I am aware of those listings. I guess, partly, I was just trying to balance out Raptorduck and nybuyer. LOL

I am not feeling Oceanside, maybe Escondido. I do feel partial to the rural areas of Vista, for some reason.

Right now we rent at the beach in Encinitas. I would looooooove to stay here, but also we want some land. So, it is either manifest a way to buy here in Ecinitas or move inland.

I am completely open to finding a way to have what I want, but I am curious about what some of you think about the realities of what a 200,00 house might be like and where early winter '09 or fall/late winter '09.
