[quote=bearishgurl]AN, you tend you get yourself into an “argumentative loop” on here but if all your personal decisions were based on their financial impact to you and your family, you may have made very different decisions. Acc to your posts, the decisions you made to stay here were lifestyle decisions. I’m in the same boat but wish I could have left years ago. I still have a kid in HS.
OK, we’ll start with one of my FAV towns. Here’s a couple of “urban” listings in the middle of SM (listed at MM prices). One is a “moderate fixer.” Their lots are the same size or bigger than the avg lot in MM but both have so much more upside potential than MM (or ChulaV, for that matter) will EVER have:
In my “cursory research” of current SM listings, I’m also noticing that 2012 flippers are asking $270-$300K more than they purchased the properties (fmr REOs) for! I haven’t even checked recent sales comps yet.
If these flippers are actually getting anywhere near their asking prices, they are really making bank on these fixers (barring any unforeseen structural problems) :=][/quote]
Financial is all about data. No personal info involved. I’ve provided to disprove this statement:
[quote=bearishgurl]I also feel it is entirely worth it for a young San Diegan college grad to relocate there for work, even one with a family. Most of the public schools there are better than here, as well.[/quote]
No personal feeling involved, just pure data.
You providing data just reiterate my point. The San Mateo area have WORSE school than MM’s school. So, thanks for disproving your own statement about school. Similar properties in MM would go for low $300k. So, that’s ~50-60% higher. So, where’s the 0-25% higher you’re talking about?
Talking about getting myself in “argumentative loop”, what loop are you referring to? You on the other hand love to use outdated info/data or lots and lots of straw man. When you do provide current data, it disprove your own argument. You’re hilarious.
