Outside of the 2 places in Santee that I know of (and Skyranch has an insane HOA for absolutely no value which might as well be MR), are there any NEW developments in SD that doesn’t have MR?
With Prop 13 changes, it seems like that’s the main way for builders to build these places now.
It seems for folks looking for a new home, it’s either an old home or just live with the MR (some are lower than others though) and they factor that into their cost equation.
I don’t know how much of a deterrent it is honestly since most folks just look at the total nut they have to pay. Places with higher MR, the house ends up cheaper, lower MR, higher house price…
I just don’t think it’s as much as a deterrent as people make it out to be. I think like TG said, he has to pay some tax on some special bonds, but if the house is 100k less, does it really matter?
Same goes for the family who said they just bought in Del Sur which generally has large MR fees as well.
I just think folks who are blinded by “MR” BAD BAD BAD will do anything to avoid it even if the house was $1…
