Well, those communities are actually going up in price not down so I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. I actually think you’ll see those prices continue to go up for the simple reason that:
#1 Those are top notch school districts (with the exception of Carlsbad HS)
#2 They are coastal
#3 You will see a lot of businesses moving to Carlsbad over the next 10 years. They are aggressively building top notch business parks in the Carlsbad (just north of Bressi Ranch)and they will find a way to get tenants in there.
#4 I think you are assuming everyone commutes. In my aree of Encinitas I’d say 1 in 5 homeowners goes to San Diego everyday. Most work a few days a week out of their house if not everyday.
#5 Lastly, very little future development and the beach and good schools will always be in demand.
