sdr is right. Its kind of like comparing Rancho Carillo to La Costa Valley. Both in 92009 Carlsbad, but one is in the San Marcos school district, and the other is in the San Dieguito/Enc. Union school district. Big time apples and oranges. Actually, more like apples and turnips. Nonetheless, I think everywhere is off the high by some percentage, and if anyone is paying an all time high for a particular house in a neighborhood right now, I think they are fooolish. But in prime areas, things are certainly not dire.
