I wonder of the reporters even check their facts with any databases? The story claims it’s a Million Dollar home in Temecula. I hope the rest of the story is correct but it’s not a MILLION DOLLAR HOME and it’s not in TEMECULA. I was curious when I watched the story from the link, thinking this might be in my neighborhood, so I ran a little search of other news outlets and found the street is Via Laguna and it’s in Winchester. A quick check of zillow and I see they were built in 2005, seem to sell for about 500k new, saw a few peak in the 6’s, one or two in the 7’s and can all be had for between 270k and 330k now. Looking at the map, it’s near Winchester Rd and Pourry Rd, North of Lake Skinner and South of Lake Domengioni. That’s North French Valley, North of Murrieta, almost Hemet. I ran a mapquest, it’s a 26 minute drive from my home in Temecula, the same distance from my home to San Marcos, Vista and Escondido. Do they not let reporters use the internet? Do they still have editors or producers or news shows, is ot so hard to look at comps before declaring a home’s value
So if a 300k home get’s vandalized in National City, maybe the reporter can write a headline like “Million dollar home in Rancho Bernardo is vandalized.” It would be just as accurate.
