“We got a brand new 5 bdrm/3 bath house on 18,000 sq. ft. lot for $209K”
You could probably do that in Temecula valley(maybe a bit more money say 25K more, and a little smaller lot, maybe you would have to paint the place and do some yard work as well).
But then you would have to admit you lived in Temecula and were a whole 35 minutes from the pacific ocean.
