[quote=bearishgurl]92111 Clairemont is a better location overall than MM (discussed on other recent threads), IMHO. In addition, the one-story houses on the “Mtn Sts” tend to be a little larger than one-story houses in MM and the many canyon-rim lots they are situated on certainly are bigger than the average MM lot. Quieter with less traffic and less parked vehicles on the side streets, more mature landscaping and an older, “stable” resident base make this area worth more than MM, IMO. I could certainly understand why there are not many current SFR listings there with asking prices <=$500K.
There is a lot of equity in Clairemont but it is tied up in properties whose owners are endeavoring to live out the balance of their remaining lives peacefully :=][/quote]
Thanks for the laugh BG. Better location is debatable, but to say it's worth more because of its "stable" resident, didn't you read the MM thread you just linked to that say there's virtually nothing for sale in an area that have over 70k people living in it? Most people who live in MM bought their house for well under $200k 20+ years ago with mortgage payment that's cheaper than a 1/1 apartment. Which is why they're not selling and many probably don't intend to sell. How's that any different than CM? When's the last time you've been to MM and CM?
