“For those MH experts out there, I have a question for you guys/gals. Because I don’t know MH that well, maybe you guys can enlighten me. What’s so special about MH that makes it so expensive? In my eyes, it might even be more expensive than LJ. Here are two examples, one in MH and one in LJ.
I am no expert but I do live in MH and I think these are apples to oranges comparisons. The La Jolla listing is a major tract development that is not within walking distance to anything. While the MH listing is on a prime street that is very walkable and located within a stones throw of virtually everything that makes SD great. In that part of MH the pride of ownership is striking. I encourage you to come down and walk the streets there really isn’t much else like it in SD county.
Finally, that listing in MH is priced too high for today’s market.
I think if you want a better comparison to the MH home I would start looking at perhaps La Jolla Village or Coronado village. Admittedly they are both closer to the ocean but the feel of the neighborhoods is going to be much more similar to north Mission Hills. Frankly, I strongly prefer MH to either of the other villages because although they are closer to the ocean, getting in and out of La Jolla and Coronado is a major PITA while MH has nearly instant freeway access.
Here is a much better apples to apples comparison in La Jolla for example to the MH listing:
