[quote=bearishgurl][quote=FlyerInHi]San Gabriel is a big area, I suppose. I have a friend in Hacienda Heights. Her parents paid something like $700k a few years ago. Probably about $900k now.
For comparison, Clairemont Mesa, fairly ocean close and centrally located in San Diego doesn’t compare, value wise.[/quote]
What do you mean by the italicized statement, FIH? Do you think Hacienda Heights RE is a better value for what you get in comparison with Clairemont Mesa (SD)? I do and I also feel it is certainly a much nicer area than Clairemont and would compare its housing stock to Del Cerro or Pt Loma Woods in SD, NOT Clairemont or Mission Village.[/quote]
I have never been to Hacienda Heights and know nothing about it. However, the original poster stated that his friend’s parents bought a house for $700K and that it is now worth $900K. AFAIK, there is nothing that expensive in Clairemont Mesa (SD). Since this is true, how is this even a relevant comparison? Homes in Hacienda Heights ($700-900K) are nicer than homes in Clairemont SD ($500-600K). Yes, one would hope so!
