Hahahaha, no it’s in Carlsbad. And really, I’m not bragging, honest. Like another poster said it was really dumb luck not market timing genius on our part. My husband wanted this house strictly for the lot (which he thinks is small growing up on a farm but it’s huge for around here). The house was a real POS but it’s very nice now, just small. Well, it’s small for 3 energetic kids and two have to share a room. Luckily with the big yard I can throw them all out back when they are driving me nuts though, LOL! And my husband surfs so of course he’d love to be closer to the beach. His criteria for another house is closer to the beach, view, 3 car garage, and a bigger lot. My criteria is at least 4 bedrooms and a bigger kitchen. So, we’re talking very difficult to find and pricey! I think that means we’ll probably add on. We always intended to buy up until things got so nuts here. Now, if we were going to buy up, I’d want to shoot myself with the amount we’d have to pay in property taxes.
Anyway, not all of us owners HELOC’ed themselves to death over the past few years! 😉
