gn,
First off, CV is clearly not the least expensive area in NCC. Developments such as Meadows Del Mar, Rancho Pacifica, The Preserve, and the Ridge Del Mar have assured that. All you had to do was look at: http://realestate.signonsandiego.com/area_homesales/0407ncc.html
and you can see that in April it has the 2nd highest median of all the NCC areas, next to Del Mar.
While IMO CV is kind of plastic, there are a number of good reasons to live there if you have a family and it is within your budget (both true in my case): 1. Great schools, 2. convenience (if you work there like I do), 3. Ton’s of other kids for your kids to play with. Clearly there are some negatives with CV, afterall, sdrealtor must have his reasons to “hate it”.
To Rustico,
All the starstruck CV hopefuls? Get a grip man.
To Rustico & gn,
You can debate all you want about whether it is relevant or not. Clearly sdrealtor is open to suggestions, but in the end if you personally don’t think the data will be useful, you can choose not to read/post in this thread, or start you own forum that you think is more relevant. There’s nobody stopping you. I think it is interesting that CV is still realtively strong compared to many other areas in SD and agree with the assumption (excuse me, hypothesis) that when CV begins to break down this could be an indicator that the housing slump in San Diego is in full swing.
Like sdcellar, I hope sdrealtor can ignore the negativity and continue to post these stats, with perhaps some improvements for clarity and completeness.
