Thanks for your response, sdrealtor! Yes, my family is from San Diego. For my family, suburbs and family is the most important thing. They kept saying how we could get such a better house in Carlsbad or 4S Ranch or Rancho Bernardo for that price. It is true, for that price we would have a lot of options in the suburbs, and I have struggled with that — but my husband just will not accept a “standard” house! So, that really limits our choices. And, I am having sticker shock myself because we were initially looking in the 6-650K range.
