[quote=ocrenter]the 7 mile comment is regarding the difference in distance between the two homes I previously linked.

another issue about CV is most folks end up driving to Carmel Mountain Ranch for their shopping, ie Costco, or Mira Mesa for their Home Depot. it isn’t the most convenient neighborhood.

here’s another couple of CV vs 4S homes:

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-090057398-16253_Pinto_Ridge_Dr_San_Diego_CA_92127

the 4S home is slightly bigger at 3800 vs 3500 for the CV home, both are standard tract homes on standard sized lots, the 4S one has a nice pool + spa. the CV home is almost half a million pricier. Yes, the commute is 15 minutes less, yes, you are saving $50 on gas every month, yes, you don’t need the AC in the summer… but seriously, half a million difference?[/quote]

Point noted on the 7 mile difference.

Here are some other CV properties that could justify the pricing difference:

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-090052794-10680_Senda_Acuario_San_Diego_CA_92130 This is a nice neighborhood (have a friend on that street) and ocean view for 100K more? Mind you smaller lot and home.

I left the ones going for close to 900 off that are on the border of PQ bc there is no commute difference (maybe 8 minutes?).

Half a million difference isnt justified, but if you could get a comparable sized home (whats 200-400 sq ft when you already have 3000) for a mere 100-200k more in CV potentially with ocean view?
