Jimmy I would agree with asianautica as well. I cannot say how far down the market will drop although Mira Mesa has a high probability of getting whacked hard. I do think that the pricing on the house you focussed on can go down much further. Try to hang loose if you can. Your deal will come. As a father with a few new kids, I cannot tell you how nice it is to have a mother in law to help out, ours lives with us… So I see why you need to be near yours.
