    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best places to look right now for a single family home priced from 400-500k, preferrably in the mid 400s, or a nice townhome in the mid 300s? I realize my options are limited, but are there any good areas in those price ranges? Thanks!

    Forgot to add, I prefer North County.

    Do you like condos, because that’s what you’ll get for those prices right now. Wait a couple of years and save your money. Buying anything right now is completely foolish.

    Check out “The Bluffs” or other units off of Rancho Del Oro Dr and Oceanside Blvd.

    IMO they are overpriced(but fall within your specified range). I believe that area is primed to be the next Carmel Valley with Genentech and about 25 other buildings under construction going up within 1/4 mile. Also, city is adding the sprinter station that will connect further inland and to the coastal transit system just a stones throw from The Bluffs.. also pepper in the possibility of the stadium in Oceanside… That area IMO is the best location to buy not only in North County but in all of San Diego… fit that with your own analysis of the area and your timing choices.

    I plan on leaving Cali since my industry affords me high geographic flexibility so that area isn’t one I’m targeting personally..

    I wouldn’t buy now, either. I assume you have $90K in savings (20% down payment) if you are looking at a $450K property. Put that into a higher yielding investment and wait. You’d kick yourself watching that $450K property drop down in price over the next couple years if you buy now. Even if you are in it for the long haul I’d wait.
