tememcula guy – very well said. The heat is coming strong from the wife about buying and has been for awhile. I submitted another lowball offer on a home on Sunset Ridge and was denied and then the home went into escrow…wifey almost took a hatchet to me… Actually our criteria is good schools, large yard/lot, and a “somewhat” central location. We are priced out of Solana Beach, Del Mar, older Carmel Valley/Del Mar Heights area and like you said, always will be unless I want to finance something I couldn’t afford. Wife hates UC,I don’t want to do the north county coastal drive, so Scripps is kind of a compromise that is close but still out of our (well my pricing) reach.
Your point is well said and what I try to say alot, that the downturn will hit different areas in varying manners. Others thing it will be a forest fire across the board. I tend to think it will be pretty tough in many areas but the description you put out there for certain places will cushion them so that it will be less dramatic.
