Here’s a thought: Rent in Santaluz. There is an empty Casita model near me that is owned by a builder who took it in trade in order to sell his new Santaluz house to the casita owner. Builder tried for a long time to sell the casita, but at an unrealistic price, and now he’s “waiting for the market to recover”. Property has a sign up but is not listed, I believe. You could offer to rent it for a limited time to suit your needs and his. Meanwhile you’d be getting to know Santaluz on an intimate basis, learn first hand the pros & cons of different streets & models, wait for a bargain, etc.
The address of this casita is 8242 Santaluz Village Green South. There are undoubtedly other house rentals here too, also likely be owners only wanting to rent out for a short time.
