I’m not even sure I understand what people don’t understand. When evaluating property, you have to consider both location and the actual pile of sticks itself, with the general consensus being that location is the single most important factor. A one-mile difference can make all the difference in the world. Hell, 50 feet can. Whoever said these houses were a good value simply because you get more sticks on more dirt couldn’t be more wrong. They may indeed be a good value, but you must consider where the dirt is located.
The nutshell of this is Sky Ranch sounds like the best house in a less desirable neighborhood. Generally a concept that potential home buyers would consider carefully. What’s so hard to accept about that?
Lest anyone think I’m picking on Santee, there are *plenty* of less desirable areas, but Santee sits where it sits on the San Diego County housing food chain. I’ll even trust that it’s better than what it was some number of years ago, but it is what it is and there’s not much that’s really going to change that.
