Same here, I’ve got my eyes on a couple neighborhoods that I could settle into. I’ve been in out of the valley a few times. Family moved to Murrieta in 1989 and we moved out to Huntington Beach in 1994. Those were some pretty lean years out here, people couldn’t give houses away, developments sat empty with graded pads where I use to ride my bike or take shortcuts through the neighborhoods by jumping the fences of the vacant houses. Moved back briefly in 1996 and I wish I would have stayed, I was 18 and just married, and the wife and I looked at some houses in Alta Murrieta behind the fireman’s park/ fire station – we could have got a house for about $88k at the time – $700/month or so with taxes, at the time the cal oaks & los al apartments were renting for about $550/month – shoulda coulda woulda. Finally moved back again in ’04 where I had graduated college and had a good job, but could only afford my current condo. So now I wait as we’re busting at the seems to make our move in 1-2 years for the bigger house with the backyard/pool…
