I think analysts are reading this post. Today, some group came out with a study that said the Inland Empire is the most overvalued place in California based on the rental/purchase price ratios and they expect it to decline faster than other areas.
Personally I am shopping for a specific area of South Temecula (Redhawk/Wolfcreek) and there is nothing below 390k similar to your house or under $1650 to rent so I would be tempted if that was down here for 325K.
I am with you on the gardner. There are no cardio benefits to pushing a gas powered mower and the gym has better scenery. Some of us have jobs or lives that don’t allow for one day a week during daylight hours to mow a lawn in order to keep the HOA from getting mad. I also started to pay for that pre sliced bread and the butter you don’t have to churn.
