[quote=4sranch_buyer]We are a young working professionals considering to buy a short sale for around $516K (2300sqft) in 4S Ranch area now. Is this a good time to buy in this area? Is this area going to hold up to its value after seeing lot of comments about it being called foreclosure ranch? Our main concerns are:
1. Is this area is going to get further hit by the economy?
2. High HOA + Melloroos (almost $450 per month together)
3. Wildfire fear
Please advice!
We have done a lot of research with multiple visits to 4S Ranch and feel that homes there are quite nice except that there is not much privacy due to the small lots. Also, MR is way too high in our opinion. Unfortunately, in the price range of $500k you don’t have a lot of other options.
