kev374 – where were comparable houses in Temecula or Murrieta priced at $75,000 in 1997? I bought a new house in Temeku Hills in Fairway Point in 1997, a small 1775 sq. ft. 2 and 2 with a den with a great floor plan and it was $154,900. That was the least expensive new home in Temeku Hills and prices in Fairway Point went to the mid 200’s. I don’t recall Murrieta being below 150K for a new 3 and 2. Maybe old, small homes in Hemet or Wildomar were under 100K. I do recall the 3 and 2.5 townhomes on Margarita (blue trim and red tile roofs) were in the 80’s.
