I have been considering buying in Temecula as I now have a flexible job and can pretty much live anywhere in So Cal. The RedHawk area of Temecula seems nice… I was wondering whether the area up the hill (near redhawk golf) would be a better choice, or the one nearer to Pechenga (Wolf Creek)?
I suppose both these areas fall under redhawk, but I may be incorrect. The prices up the hill are definitely higher, but there is more choice available in wolf creek.
How about the timing — should I wait (how long?) or buy now? I suppose most will suggest waiting, but there is an increasing number of people who think that the prices will bottom out at the end of this year (beacuse of lower interest rates, reduction in inventory due to fires, and with the so called mortgage “reform” most recently seen with loan revisions from Countrywide).
And what is a good deal in the current market situation, for example in terms of price per sq ft? I saw some posts about $80 per sq ft… I suppose that is for a base home.
What if the builder offers upgrades? Is $410k a good deal for a 3000 sq ft home with upgrades (flooring, granite and cabinets) 6200+ sq ft lot and golf course view from backyard?
Anyone has any experience with woodside homes? They boast great architecture and I agree after seeing their homes. They have a community (Ironwood) in wolf creek. How much premium sould one pay for better architecture (I know this is a loaded and open ended question)?
Lots of questions here — would appreciate your input.
