Whoa! You’re looking to buy in an area with 2-3 billion in fraudulently mortgaged homes looking to hit the lists in your neighboring town. My brother has lost >30% on his townhome in a DR Horton development in the 4 months he has been there and they still haven’t sold out.

Not that I know much about the crime/schools/living in Murrieta/TV but you can’t expect those standards to remain long when school budgets are being cut to hell and neighborhoods are becoming abandoned.

I told my brother to walk away from his deposit in Sept. and I would tell anyone else to stay away for quite a while.

Unfortunately for my brother I was right and to add acid to the wound he is likely losing his teaching job he moved up there for.
