current buying in south carlsbad is not a wise
idea: for a 2000 sqt SFH built around 1990-2000,
you probably got to pay at least 550k in peripheral
area, but you can get same square footage with about
350K in south Vista, San Marcos ( or Oceanside,
although it’s not my choice).
If you insist on buying in carsbad ( which I quite
understand), wait for another 1 or 2 years. The
prices in Carlsbad, or Encinitas, or Carmel Valley,
may drop to a more reasonable range, Maybe not,
it’s your gamble, and if you can wait.
