Here’s the Scripps Ranch

[DataAgent]

Here’s the Scripps Ranch $300K ‘starter home’ of 1999: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-080051698-11353_Swan_Canyon_San_Diego_Ca_92131

It’s 10 years later and now priced at $549K. That’s about a 6% annual appreciation rate. You’ll want at least that appreciation rate (probably more) when you sell the place 10 years from now.

With some good negotiating skills and a little patience, you may get the price down to low $500Ks.
